										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>While he lost nothing in defeat when trying two turns for the first time in the GI Haskell Invitational S. the <strong>Jack Christopher</strong> (<a href="https://coolmore.com/farms/america/stallions/munnings" class="horse-link">Munnings</a>) everyone is accustom to was back at Saratoga, charging home a decisive winner of the GI H. Allen Jerkens Memorial S.</p>
<p>Hammered down to 1-2 favoritism getting back around one turn, the flashy chestnut tracked <strong>Conagher</strong> (Jimmy Creed) from second through a :22.18 first quarter. Drawing alongside as the half went in :44.53, Jack Christopher skipped to the front when Jose Ortiz shook the reins at him and strode clear to win by X over last year's GI Hopeful S. winner <strong>Gunite</strong> (<a href="https://www.threechimneys.com/horse/gun-runner/" class="horse-link">Gun Runner</a>).</p>
<p>&#8220;Exiting the Haskell, that was going to be our plan if he didn't win and cut him back to this prestigious race here,&#8221; winning trainer Chad Brown said. &#8220;I'm just so proud of the horse. He's been a very consistent horse. He's never disappointed us in a workout or a race. Jose [Ortiz] rode another fantastic race on him. He broke sharp and used good judgment to rate him just a touch. Every pole, he was in control of the race. I'm so proud of both Jose and the horse.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Four weeks [rest] and he ran huge,&#8221; said winning pilot Jose Ortiz. &#8220;He gave me everything he had and a very good race. Honestly, though he was a little offbeat down the backside but at the three-eighths pole he picked up little by little and I knew when I got next to the one-horse [Conagher], I knew I got him. From then on he just kept going the same pace. I knew if he didn't stop, he was going to run them off their feet because he was running the whole way. Seven [furlongs] is a tricky distance. I'd rather go a mile but seven-eighths is tricky. The pace is a little bit faster and you have to run the whole way there and he did.&#8221;</p>
<p>Tabbed a <strong>'TDN Rising Star'</strong> off an ultra-impressive debut romp at this oval exactly 364 days ago, Jack Christopher followed suit with a good-looking score in Belmont's GI Champagne S. in October. The early favorite going into the Breeders' Cup, he was a late scratch by the Del Mar vets with a minor left shin issue. The $135,000 FTKOCT buy reemerged on the First Saturday in May with a facile victory in the GII Pat Day Mile and blew away the field with a 10-length demolition of Belmont's GI Wood Stephens S. June 11. Stretched to a route for the first time at Monmouth in the Haskell July 23, he gave a valiant effort and ultimately finished third.</p>
<p><strong>Pedigree Notes:</strong></p>
<p>Jack Christopher is one of five Grade I winners for Coolmore's <a href="https://coolmore.com/farms/america/stallions/munnings" class="horse-link">Munnings</a>. His dam is also represented by an</p>
<p>unnamed <a href="https://coolmore.com/farms/america/stallions/mo-town" class="horse-link">Mo Town</a> 2-year-old filly and a <a href="http://www.airdriestud.com/horses/complexity-46050.html" class="horse-link">Complexity</a> filly of this year. She was bred back to <a href="https://coolmore.com/farms/america/stallions/munnings" class="horse-link">Munnings</a>. Rushin No Blushin, a maiden of eight career starts, was claimed for $50,000 out of her career finale by owner/trainer Neil Pessin at Keeneland in 2013. The half-sister to MGISW and useful sire <a href="https://www.darleyamerica.com/stallions/our-stallions/street-boss" class="horse-link">Street Boss</a> (Street Cry (Ire)) subsequently brought $70,000 from Castleton Lyons, in foal to Congrats, at the 2014 KEENOV sale.</p>

<p>According to the <em>Daily Racing Form</em>, the 3-year-old son of Maclean's Music has undergone surgery with Dr. Larry Bramlage of Rood and Riddle Equine Hospital, and is expected to return to the races in 2022.</p>
<p>This year, Jackie's Warrior has won the G2 Pat Day Mile, G2 Amsterdam, G1 H. Allen Jerkens, and the G2 Gallant Bob.</p>
<p>“He's an unbelievable, tremendous horse,” trainer Steve Asmussen told <em>DRF</em>. “I thought that the Allen Jerkens against Life Is Good was as good as horse racing gets. Unbelievably fortunate to be involved with him and very anxious to race him next year – because they don't get any better.”</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When considering stallion potential, brilliance and precocity are rarely left out of the equation. But a unique find emerges when a headlining juvenile can carry out his talent as a sophomore and even as an older horse before beginning his stud career.</p>
<p>Two of WinStar Farm&#8217;s new recruits for 2021, <strong>Improbable </strong>(City Zip) and <strong>Promises Fulfilled </strong>(Shackleford), showed brilliance early on in their careers as flashy debut winners before each went on to become stakes winners at three and four.</p>
<p>We spoke with WinStar&#8217;s David Hanley on the pair of Grade I-winning additions.</p>

<p><strong><em>Improbable (City Zip), $40,000</em></strong></p>
<p>&#8220;The thing that was so impressive about this horse was his soundness,&#8221; Hanley said of four-time Grade I winner and Eclipse candidate Improbable. &#8220;From when he went to Bob Baffert as a 2-year-old, he never missed a day, never had an issue. He was so consistent. Every week you asked how he worked and Bob&#8217;s response was, &#8216;awesome.'&#8221;</p>
<p>In his 15 career starts over three years, Improbable ran in the money in all but four.</p>
<p>&#8220;I think that soundness is really important for his future as a sire because in the world we live in today, soundness is such a factor,&#8221; Hanley said. &#8220;This horse with his mechanics, the way he moved and how sound he was, if he passes that on to his progeny, it gives him a great shot to have a lot of runners.&#8221;</p>
<p>A $200,000 Keeneland September purchase, Improbable was a debut winner for the same owner-trainer connections that campaigned another speedy chestnut in Triple Crown winner Justify (Scat Daddy). He followed up with a 7 1/4-length victory in the Street Sense S. on the 2018 Breeders&#8217; Cup undercard while earning a <strong>&#8216;TDN Rising Star&#8217;</strong> nod.</p>
<p>He wrapped up his 2-year-old season with a win in the GI Los Alamitos Futurity, defeating eventual Grade I-winning stablemate Mucho Gusto (Mucho Macho Man) by five lengths.</p>
<p>&#8220;He ran that race in the fastest time of the previous 10 years,&#8221; Hanley noted. &#8220;He really was a top-class 2-year-old and always showed that. From when we broke him in the spring, he just had it together.&#8221;</p>
<p>From there, Improbable ran second in the GII Rebel S. and again in the GI Arkansas Derby behind Omaha Beach (War Front).</p>
<p>He finished fourth in the GI Kentucky Derby, and although he registered a victory in the Shared Belief S. at Del Mar&#8217;s summer meet, the chestnut couldn&#8217;t land a graded stakes win in the later half of his 3-year-old year.</p>
<p>&#8220;I think after going through the Derby, he got a little bit frazzled and kind of lost his way a bit through the rest of his 3-year-old season,&#8221; Hanley admitted. &#8220;He got very fired up in the gate and was running his races very hard on the bridle and not settling. But then as a 4-year-old when he got back to Bob in the spring, suddenly he was working a bit more relaxed. He was working unbelievably and showed it on the racetrack when he won three straight Grade I races with 105, 106 and 108 Beyers.&#8221;</p>
<p>Hanley notes Improbable&#8217;s 4 1/2-length win over barnmate and champion Maximum Security (New Year&#8217;s Day) in the GI Awesome Again S. as his strongest race of the Grade I trio.</p>
<p>&#8220;When Drayden Van Dyke took hold of him and he got on the bridle and let him run, he just exploded. I think that was a really super impressive performance.&#8221;</p>
<p>Equally as memorable was his two-length victory in last summer&#8217;s GI Whitney S.</p>
<p>&#8220;He was always in control of that race,&#8221; Hanley said. &#8220;He traveled easily just off the pace and when Irad [Ortiz] took the lead, he just drove off from there.&#8221;</p>
<p>While Improbable ran second behind Authentic (Into Mischief) in his final career start in the GI Breeders&#8217; Cup Classic, he earned a 108 Beyer and a 2 Ragozin, the fastest of the race, while traveling over six lengths farther than the winner.</p>
<p>Improbable retired with earnings of over $2.7 million as the leading earner for his sire City Zip, who passed away when Improbable was a yearling.</p>
<p>&#8220;City Zip was a wonderful sire,&#8221; Hanley said. &#8220;He sired 72 stakes winners, six champions, and was a wonderful racehorse himself. So I think that&#8217;s a sire line that&#8217;s going to produce some good stallions.&#8221;</p>
<p>Improbable is a son of the winning A.P. Indy mare Rare Event, whose stakes-winning dam Our Rite of Spring (Stavinsky) is a half-sister to Grade I winner and sire Hard Spun (Danzig).</p>
<p>&#8220;City Zip was by Carson City, who was out of a Blushing Groom mare. Interestingly, Our Rite of Spring is by Stravinsky, who is also out of a Blushing Groom mare. So I think that&#8217;s huge sire-making pedigree potential,&#8221; Hanley said.</p>
<p>With other top sires in Awesome Again, Giant&#8217;s Causeway and Candy Ride (Arg) hailing from the Blushing Groom line on their damside, Hanley said he believes with Blushing Groom on both Improbable&#8217;s top and bottom side, his pedigree shows a unqiue potential.</p>
<p>&#8220;He&#8217;s also out of a really deep Darby Dan family,&#8221; he added. &#8220;He comes from one of their great foundation mares Banquet Bell, who herself was the dam of a Kentucky Derby and Belmont S. winner and a champion.&#8221;</p>
<p>Already booked to 160 mares for this season, Improbable has been popular with the breeders.</p>
<p>&#8220;He is what I would consider a medium-sized horse,&#8221; Hanley said. &#8220;He&#8217;s tremendously well made. He&#8217;s got great length from his hip to his hock and great leverage behind. He really hits the ground, as Drayden Van Dyke said, &#8216;like a cloud.'&#8221;</p>
<p>From the beginning, Hanley says, Improbable&#8217;s most noticeable quality was his exceptional movement&#8211;an asset that has proven to be useful in attracting a strong book of mares for his initial season at stud.</p>
<p>&#8220;From the first few times we worked him on the farm as a</p>
<p>2-year-old, he would breeze a quarter and then just gallop around the track like there was no end to him,&#8221; Hanley said. &#8220;He had great motion and everything came easy to him. As Bob Baffert said, he&#8217;s one of the prettiest-moving horses you could ever see and I think that&#8217;s something that&#8217;s going to stand him in good stead if he can produce that in his foals.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong><em>Promises Fulfilled (Shackleford), $10,000</em></strong></p>
<p>&#8220;I think his trademark was how genuine he was,&#8221; Hanley said of five-time graded stakes winner Promises Fulfilled. &#8220;He would go as fast as he could and when the other horses would come to him, he would bear down and give everything he had. He would drop down and stick his head out and give his all every time.&#8221;</p>
<p>Recruited and trained by Dale Romans for Robert Baron, Promises Fulfilled was a four-length debut winner at two before taking an allowance at Keeneland and running third in the GII Kentucky Jockey Club S. to wrap up his juvenile season.</p>
<p>He continued on the Derby trail at three with a victory in the GII Fountain of Youth S., breaking first and never giving up the lead to defeat Strike Power (Speightstown) and champion Good Magic (Curlin) by 2 1/4 lengths.</p>
<p>The speedy chestnut broke on top in his next two starts, clocking a :45.77 half mile going head-to-head with Justify (Scat Daddy) in the GI Kentucky Derby, but failed to stay on to finish in the money.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>He realized his full potential after turning back in distance in the later half of his 3-year-old season with consecutive wins in the GIII Amsterdam S., GI H. Allen Jerkens S. and GII Phoenix S.</p>
<p>&#8220;It was quite an amazing performance to go through what he did in the spring trying to stretch out and then come back and be as competitive as he was,&#8221; Hanley said. &#8220;That was the period of time when we started to think he was a really serious horse.&#8221;</p>
<p>A win the following summer in the GII John Nerud S. with a career-high 108 Beyer sealed the deal, and WinStar bought in on the millionaire earner soon after.</p>
<p>&#8220;He was very fast out of the gates, always on pace and really let himself down in his races to finish up strong,&#8221; Hanley said. &#8220;He ran six sub-:44.4 times in graded races.&#8221;</p>
<p>After a layoff following his 4-year-old season, an issue days before his next start kept Promises Fulfilled from racing on at five in 2020.</p>
<p>&#8220;It was kind of unfortunate because he was a year from running when he went to stud, so people are quick to forget just how good of a 3-year-old he was,&#8221; Hanley said. &#8220;But we&#8217;re really excited about him because we think he was a horse with a lot of speed and ability.&#8221;</p>
<p>Promises Fulfilled retired with earnings of nearly $1.5 million and ran in the money in 10 of his 17 career starts.</p>
<p>&#8220;One thing that I think marks this horse&#8217;s character is that fact that he was able to go through the Kentucky Derby preps, run in the Kentucky Derby and then come back and win a Grade I going seven furlongs. It speaks to the character and quality of horse that he was.&#8221;</p>
<p>Hanley noted that breeders have been surprised that the sprinter&#8217;s physical reflects more of a two-turn type mold.</p>
<p>&#8220;He&#8217;s quite a big horse, with a lot of leg under him and a lot of stretch to him,&#8221; he said. &#8220;So it&#8217;s interesting that he was as fast as he was. We&#8217;re really excited to see what kind of foals he&#8217;ll produce because with his pedigree, speed and physique, he&#8217;s capable of getting two-turn horses that have some speed.&#8221;</p>
<p>The son of Shackleford is out of the Marquetry mare Marquee Delivery, who herself is Grade III placed but is also the dam of three additional black-type horses. Promises Fulfilled&#8217;s half-sister Marquee Miss (Cowboy Cal) was a five-time stakes winner.</p>
<p>&#8220;Shackleford was by Forestry (Storm Cat), so it&#8217;s a speed sire line,&#8221; Hanley said. &#8220;Shackleford himself was out of the mare Oatsee, who is by Unbridled. So you can see where Shackleford got his leg and size, and where Promises Fulfilled got it as well.&#8221;</p>
<p>He continued, &#8220;I think he&#8217;ll put a bit of size and stretch into his mares. He could fit anything. He was such a fast horse, and he did win going a mile and a sixteenth and looks like a two-turn horse, so anything is possible.&#8221;</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Saturday's $75,000 H. Allen Jerkens Stakes at Gulfstream Park will be a journey into the unknown for the vast majority of its 11 entrants, who will be asked to run two miles for the first time in their lives.</p>
<p>The Jerkens, a two-mile turf marathon that honors the memory of the beloved Hall of Fame trainer, will highlight Saturday's 11-race program at the Hallandale Beach, Fla. track. The $75,000 Tropical Park Derby and the $75,000 Tropical Park Oaks and will kick off the sequence of the 20-cent Rainbow 6 that will offer a $400,000 jackpot guarantee.</p>
<p>Trainer Saffie Joseph Jr. will saddle High Noon Rider with the knowledge that the 8-year-old gelding has a two-mile victory on his 55-race resume, but he still has a big question heading into the Jerkens.</p>
<p>“He's won at two miles already at Presque Isle, but it was a much different class than he'll be running against Saturday,” said Joseph, whose trainee is rated second in the morning line at 9-2 in a most competitive renewal of the Jerkens.</p>
<div class="inline-advertisement zoneid-166" id="adleft"><span id='zone_166_0' class='digome_advertising'><ins data-revive-zoneid="166" data-revive-id="b284fa4ee2b53b5c0fb16aa42e76910a"></ins></span></div>
<p>GenStar Thoroughbreds' High Noon Rider, who has won 15 races and more than $600,000 in earnings, captured a two-mile starter optional claiming allowance by 2 ¼ lengths in October 2019. While the victory came over Presque Isle Downs' synthetic surface, the versatile gelding captured a 1 ½-mile starter handicap on turf at Laurel Park in his previous race.</p>
<p>“The owner wants to give him a shot in this race. I kind of believe he's best at a mile or a mile and an eighth, but he loves Gulfstream and he has won at two miles,” Joseph said. “We'll give it a try. He's in good form.”</p>
<p>High Noon Rider is coming off a fast-closing victory in the 1 1/16-mile victory in the Claiming Crown Emerald over Gulfstream Park's turf course, over which he has won six of 10 starts.</p>
<p>“He's coming off his best race and he loves Gulfstream,” Joseph said. “Those are the two reasons why I'm willing to give it a try.”</p>
<p>Edgard Zayas, who was aboard for the Emerald score, has the return call.</p>
<p>Goldigo Racing LLC, Rick Gold and Mark Mathiesen's Muralist is untested at two miles but will be saddled for the first time by a trainer with a record of marathon excellence. Among Brendan Walsh's growing list of accomplishments are victories in the Marathon (G2), a 1 ¾-mile race on dirt that was formerly a Breeders' Cup event but is still run on World Championships weekend. Walsh visited the Santa Anita winner's circle with Cary Street in 2014 and Scuba in 2016.</p>
<p>Muralist, a 4-year-old gelded son of Street Sense, won two of nine starts in Southern California before finishing a troubled fifth in the 1 5/8-mile Thoroughbred Aftercare Alliance (G2) on Breeders' Cup Weekend at Keeneland. Trainer Dan Blacker returned to his Southern California base, while Muralist remained behind in Walsh's care.</p>
<p>Paco Lopez is scheduled to ride Muralist for the first tie Saturday.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>West Point Thoroughbreds and partners' Focus Group enters the Jerkens as a graded-stakes winner over the Gulfstream Park turf course but will also be returning from a 10-month layoff. The 6-year-old Kitten's Joy gelding has been out of action since finishing seventh in the March 29 Pan American (G2), a race the Christophe Clement-trained gelding won the year before over the Gulfstream course.</p>
<p>Focus Group, who will return as a gelding, will be ridden by Junior Alvarado.</p>
<p>Trainer Michael Maker is represented by four horses in the Jerkens, including David Staudacher's Conviction Trade, the 4-1 morning-line favorite who will be ridden by defending two-time Championship Meet titlist Irad Ortiz Jr.; Michael Dubbs' Hieroglyphics, Paradise Farms Corp. and Staudacher's Treasure Trove, and William Butler's Dante's Fire.</p>
<p>Clear Vision, Tintoretto, Cowtown and Sir Anthony round out the field.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sharon Ann Maloney, often known as &#8220;Sam&#8221; and a frequent presence on backsides for the past 50 years, passed away Thursday, Oct. 1, in Warrenton, Va., after a battle with cancer. She was 73.</p>
<p>Maloney worked as a groom and exercise rider in her 20s, particularly for trainer Willard Proctor in California, before returning to her home state of Virginia to concentrate on breaking yearlings. Maloney spent summers in Saratoga, including decades working at the barn of H. Allen Jerkens. In her home state, she worked for trainer Barbara Graham at the Middleburg Training Center. She also bred and owned a number of horses on her own before getting out of the business in 2015 and concentrating on rescuing donkeys.</p>
<p>President of the local SPCA at the time of her death, Maloney was the daughter of New York trainer John Maloney, whose twin brother, Jim Maloney, was also a trainer and is in the Hall of Fame. Maloney is survived by her brothers, John T. &#8220;Chip&#8221; Maloney, Jr. and Kevin Maloney, both of Warrenton, as well as nephews and other relatives. A memorial service will be scheduled at a later date. The family requests donations in her honor to be sent to Fauquier County SPCA, PO Box 733, Warrenton, Va. 20188.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A rematch featuring the superfecta of last month's Grade 1 Woody Stephens will highlight another high-caliber contest, with No Parole looking to propel his 3 ¾-length victory into more glory in Saturday's Grade 1, $300,000 H. Allen Jerkens Memorial presented by <a href="http://claibornefarm.com/stallions/runhappy/" class="blue-link">Runhappy</a> on Whitney Day at Saratoga Race Course.</p>
<p>The 36th running of the H. Allen Jerkens, a seven-furlong main track sprint for 3-year-olds, is one of five stakes overall on the 12-race card and part of three Grade 1s, joining the $500,000 Personal Ensign presented by NYRA Bets for fillies and mares 4-years-old and up, and the $750,000 Whitney for 4-year-olds and up going 1 1/18 miles. The Personal Ensign is a &#8220;Win and You're In&#8221; qualifier to the Grade 1 Breeders' Cup Distaff in November at Keeneland, while the Whitney will offer the winner an all-fees paid berth to the Grade 1 Breeders' Cup Classic.</p>
<p>Carded as Race 10, the H. Allen Jerkens, formerly called the King's Bishop and renamed for the late Hall of Famer trainer known as the &#8220;Chief,&#8221; will have a post time of 6:18 p.m. Eastern. First post is 1:10 p.m. Eastern. Saratoga Live will present full coverage beginning at 1 p.m. Eastern on FOX Sports and MSG Networks.</p>
<p><div class="inline-advertisement zoneid-166" id="adleft"><span id='zone_166_0' class='digome_advertising'><ins data-revive-zoneid="166" data-revive-id="b284fa4ee2b53b5c0fb16aa42e76910a"></ins></span></div>No Parole, owned by Maggi Moss and Greg Tramontin, is unbeaten going one turn, registering a perfect 4-for-4 ledger in sprints. Overall, the Tom Amoss trainee has won 5-of-6 starts, including his gate-to-wire win in the seven-furlong Woody Stephens on June 20 over a fast Belmont track, earning his first triple-digit Beyer Speed Figure with an even 100.</p>
<p>Ahead of his first Saratoga start, No Parole worked twice over the main track, going four furlongs in 50.50 seconds on July 16 before being ramped up on July 24, when he covered the same distance in 46.42.</p>
<p>&#8220;He's doing well. He had a much more enthusiastic work last week, which was by design,&#8221; Amoss said. &#8220;Everything he had been doing before then was just easy. To sharpen him up, we put a good piece of work in him with a sharp half mile. He came out of it well.&#8221;</p>
<p>The sophomore Louisiana-bred son of Violence is unbeaten going one turn. In the Woody Stephens, he went to the front and led at every point of call, outkicking the Steve Asmussen-trained duo of Echo Town and Shoplifted, who he will face again on Saturday.</p>
<p>No Parole's only defeat took place in the Grade 2 Rebel at Oaklawn Park going a two-turn mile and a sixteenth. Amoss said his charge has continued to develop and improve from that effort, winning both of his starts.</p>
<p>&#8220;I think what you're seeing is just a typical development of a talented horse, if you take away the experiment of going two turns,&#8221; Amoss said.</p>
<p>Amoss, who is also an analyst for Saratoga Live, will have Luis Saez back aboard after the jockey piloted No Parole in the Woody Stephens in his first time aboard the colt. He will be back in the irons, breaking from post 6.</p>
<p>&#8220;I think he's the perfect rider for No Parole and he was my first choice when we came to Belmont and fortunately, we were able to get him,&#8221; Amoss said.</p>
<p>Bred by Coteau Grove Farms, No Parole is out of the stakes-placed Bluegrass Cat broodmare Plus One.</p>
<p>Hall of Fame trainer Bob Baffert, who will saddle Improbable in the Whitney in Race 9, will send out Grade 1-winner Eight Rings in the sprint contest. A debut winner last August at Del Mar, Eight Rings won a Grade 1 as a juvenile in the American Pharoah, named for Baffert's 2015 Triple Crown winner.</p>
<p>After running sixth in the Grade 1 Breeders' Cup Juvenile in November at Santa Anita, Baffert gave the son of Empire Maker five months off. But Baffert said he might have brought back the $520,000 purchase too soon, as Eight Rings ran fifth in the six-furlong Bachelor on April 25 at Oaklawn. He has since been training at Del Mar, and Baffert said he is expecting better things as he ships to New York for the first time.</p>
<p>&#8220;He's doing good. I probably shouldn't have brought him back in that last one,&#8221; Baffert said. &#8220;That might have been a trainer error there. But he's doing good and we're taking a shot.&#8221;</p>
<p>Eight Rings is owned by SF Racing, Starlight Racing, Madaket Stables, Frederick Hertrich, III, John Golconda Stables and Coolmore Stud. Joel Rosario will be aboard from post 2.</p>
<p>Asmussen will saddle three contenders, with the Hall of Famer sending out Woody Stephens runner-up Echo Town and third-place Shoplifted in addition to Sonneman.</p>
<p>L and N Racing's Echo Town has never finished off the board in six starts, posting a 3-2-1 ledger. Making his graded stakes debut last out, the Speightstown colt stayed next-to-last in the five-horse field through six furlongs before rallying for second. He earned a 93 Beyer for the effort, marking his fourth consecutive race registering at least a 90.</p>
<p>Ricardo Santana, Jr., aboard for Echo Town's last five starts, will have the return engagement from post 4.</p>
<p>Shoplifted will return to the site of his debut win last July when he posted a 4 ½-length score. Owned by Grandview Equine, Cheyenne Stables and LNJ Foxwoods, the son of <a href="http://www.spendthriftfarm.com/horses/into-mischief-464.html" class="blue-link">Into Mischief</a> earned graded stakes blacktype with a second-place finish to Basin in the Grade 1 Hopeful last September at the Spa.</p>
<p>After running out of the money in the Grade 3 Southwest and the Oaklawn Stakes in the spring at Oaklawn, the $800,000 purchase at the 2019 <a href="http://www.fasigtipton.com/" class="blue-link">Fasig-Tipton</a> Florida Select Sale was cut back in distance and ran third in the Woody Stephens. Staying at seven furlongs, Shoplifted will have the services of jockey Tyler Gaffalione from post 7.</p>
<p>Courtland Farm's Sonneman made his stakes debut in his fifth career appearance last out in what turned out to be a match race with Celtic Striker in the Easy Goer on June 25 at Belmont. Scratches whittled the field down to two, with Sonneman staying one length behind at the half-mile mark before Celtic Striker pulled away for a 19 ¾-length romp.</p>
<p>After posting two wins and two runner-ups in his first four starts, the Curlin colt will get another opportunity at stakes action, drawing post 3 with Jose Lezcano aboard.</p>
<p>Live Oak Plantation's Tap It to Win will make his first start since running in the 1 1/8-mile Grade 1 Belmont Stakes on June 20. Trained by Mark Casse, Tap It to Win broke his maiden at Saratoga last August and won his first two starts to his sophomore campaign before being stretched out in the first leg of the Triple Crown.</p>
<p>Tap It to Win is 2-for-2 in dirt sprints in his career and will try to extend that mark on Saturday.</p>
<p>&#8220;We're excited to get him back out there in the Jerkens,&#8221; Casse said. &#8220;His one race at Saratoga was extremely good in a sprint. We're hoping that going back there, he shows what he did last year.&#8221;</p>
<p>Hall of Famer John Velazquez, who has won this race four times, including last year aboard Mind Control, will ride from post 11.</p>
<p>Mischevious Alex, a two-time graded stakes-winner for Cash is King and LC Racing, ran fourth in the Woody Stephens to break a three-race winning streak. Conditioned by John Servis, Mischevious Alex won the Grade 3 Swale in February at Gulfstream Park and followed with a two-length victory in the Grade 3 Gotham in March at Aqueduct Racetrack.</p>
<p>Irad Ortiz, Jr. will ride, breaking from post 5.</p>
<p>Trainer Jeremiah Englehart will send out New York-bred Captain Bombastic, the last-out winner against state breds in the Mike Lee, who carries a 3-2-1 record into his first graded stakes appearance. He picks up the services of Hall of Famer Javier Castellano for the first time, drawing post 10.</p>
<p>His stablemate, Three Technique, has two wins and three-runner up finishes in six starts with his only off-the-board finish last out when fourth in the Grade 2 Rebel in March on a sloppy and sealed Oaklawn track. Jose Ortiz will depart from post 8.</p>
<p>Rounding out the field is Liam's Pride, a last-out winner of the Gold Fever on a sloppy Belmont track on July 10, for trainer Doug O'Neill [post 9, Dylan Davis]; and Hopeful Treasure, conditioned by Michael Pino, who will make his first start against graded stakes company [post 1, Manny Franco].</p>
