Sixth Race: 5 ½ furlongs, 3-year-olds and up, $12,500 claiming
The sequence begins with a field of nine sprinting on the main track. Oriental Park is 8-5 on the morning line. A winner of two of 12 starts, one of three at the distance, Oriental Park was second last against $6,250 claimers. Miguel Vasquez, who rode Oriental Park in his last two starts, is on Negligence (6-1) for trainer Scott Acker. The 3-year-old gelding drops in class after finishing sixth last out with a 10-pound apprentice. Dirt Road Dollars (4-1) goes out first time off the claim by Monica McGoey.
Seventh Race: Mile & 70 yards Tapeta, maiden 2-year-olds, $55,000
A wide-open field of 10 with five making their debuts. Leading trainer Saffie Joseph Jr. sends out Coalminer's Kitten (4-1), a son of Kitten's Joy, for his debut and will also saddle Doc Ballard (5-1), who finished fifth in his debut at Churchill Downs before checking in eighth at Churchill last time out. Hall of Fame trainer Mark Casse sends out Universal Hero (6-1) and Lights of Broadway(6-1), both making their debut, and Carlos David saddles Shea On the Lam (9-2) for his first start.
Eighth Race: 1 1/16-mile Tapeta, 3-year-olds and up, $12,500 Claiming
We stay on Tapeta for the third leg of the sequence. Silent Chaos (5-1) has both of his wins on the Tapeta and drops in company for Casse and jockey Edwin Gonzalez. My Man Flint (5-2) and trained by Rohan Crichton, is 4-0-2-1 on Tapeta and comes into the race off a second against similar company. Jockey Zayas and trainer Joseph have been quite successful together and they team up here with Ghostinyou (4-1). Our Noble Ortega goes out for trainer Gustavo Delgado and Vasquez and is a generous 15-1.
Ninth Race: 6 ½ furlongs, 3-year-olds and up, $35,000 Claiming
Another wide-open field. Caminero (3-1) is a tepid favorite in the field of nine and brings together Joseph and Zayas. Trainer Elizabeth Dobles will send out two in Poseidon's Son (9-2) and Full Disclosure (5-1). who was claimed last out for a stable that is 31-percent first off the claim.
Tenth Race: 7 furlongs, 3-year-olds and up, $64,000 Stake
The Benny the Bull has brought together a talented group of eight Florida-breds including graded stakes placed Dean Delivers (9-5), Pudding (7-2), Absolute Grit (3-1), Shivaree (15-1) and Real Talk (12-1), and stakes winners King Cab (5-1) and Gatsby (10-1). Dean Delivers makes his second start off a four-month layoff. Pudding, four of seven at the distance, enters off a second-place finish in the Smile Sprint (G3). Shivaree was second in the 2020 Florida Derby (G1) and cuts back in distance.
Eleventh Race: 5 ½ furlongs, 3-year-olds and up, $10,000 Claiming
Here's hoping you're still alive come this last leg of the Rainbow 6. Things don't get any easier with this field of 11 and a tepid 3-1 favorite in Zamfir, who is seeking his third consecutive victory after being claimed last out by Angel Rodriguez. Frenchmen Street (7-2) drops slightly in class after finishing second last time out. The 7-year-old has placed in nine of 13 starts at the distance. Sassy But Smart (9-2) goes out first time for Amador Sanchez, who is 18-percent first claim.
