NY Stallion and Santa Anita Stakes Weekend, June 19 2021

Westshore

It is the last week of the 2021 Triple Crown Challenge segment. I’ve found 6 races from a variety of tracks for this week. Next segment will probably start up in July when the Saratoga racing season opens. Let’s get to it!

Race 1: New York Stallion Stakes

  • Ava’s Grace – Graded stakes experience, dropping in class and distance, working out bullets, has hit the board in all 4 starts, high speed fig last race.
  • Shaker Shack – Climbing speed figs, 2 wins 2 seconds in 2021, winner last race, high percentage jockey, hasn’t raced on turf, coming off layoff.
  • Show Me the Honey – Rail spot shows increased win percentage, speed looks to be there, bests Proper Grammar in splits and workouts, yet is longer odds.

Race 2: Get Serious Stakes

  • The Critical Way – Hit the board in last 7 starts, highest speed ratings, experienced winner on turf and at distance, high percentage jockey/trainer, working bullets.

  • French Reef – Moving up in class, 5f turf specialist, winner of last 3, good turf speed, high percentage jockey. Will odds stay at 6-1?

Race 3: New York Stallion Stakes

  • Dancing Buck – Showing good speed, comes off a win, turf experience.
  • Step Dancer – Good speed, turf experience, dropping in distance, return to winning form?
  • Dreamer’s Disease – Dropping in class, dropping in distance, good speed, good recent workouts, 6th in BC Juvenile and Pat Day Mile – yet 6-1 M/L odds?
