Updated December 24, 2009

Copay– Made a mild middle move on November 21 but didn't have the fire needed to keep it going. Came in off a layoff and seemingly needed the race under his belt. More improvement expected next time out.

Eire’s Run - Entered for grass on November 14 and got rained off to a sloppy surface. Did turn in a solid effort as he was stalking in fifth early and tried to rally against the grain of a wet-early speed favoring surface. Did manage to get within a length of the win in a hard fought stretch battle. Eire figures tough next time out.

Fortissi More – Finished very well on November 28 as he was bearing down on the leader who got away with very soft early fractions. Give him one more chance next time out as he is as sharp right now as he has ever been.

Forward Harch – Well bet and well regarded on November 21 however was very rank throughout the race and really couldn’t get it going and still managed to show. Harch should be considered very dangerous next time out.

Lentenor – Making 2nd career start on November 28 turned in a very good and improved effort. Got off poorly being steadied early and was again steadied making his move turning for home but was able to get on even terms with the winner mid-stretch before weakening late. Lent will be much tougher with this race under his belt.

Make History – Drew the rail for his debut on November 21 and didn't break very well.   Managed to pick it up and finished very well. Given about 3 weeks to recover he should come back firing big time once again.

Sing Baby Sing –Ran a solid race on October 31 however he was rank several times and was fighting his rider on the back side several times. Still gave a credible effort and at one time looked like he might even rally for the win. Next time he scores!

Wall Street Wonder - Looks to finally have it all together as he won for fun last time out on December 12. Wall figures to step up against better next time out but still expect a big effort off this last victory.
