Regal Ransom – well bred Darley firster, watch the board.

Chartreux – no factor in the Schuylerville Stakes on opening day in the slop, gets blinkers on & back versus statebreds.

Race #7

Endymion (Longshot) – Clement has been sharp with 2yr.olds this year & this one’s going on the grass, watch the board.
