Sailing By, who's closely related to champion Lexie Lou, graduated by nearly three lengths second-time out June 30. Sav is adding Lasix off a front-running fifth in the five and a half-furlong My Dear, and should be more effective with a less-aggressive approach.
The Jackpot Hi 5 carryover is a whopping $211K for the 10th. The obvious protagonists in the $25K maiden sprint are Cookestown Creek, Sandy Stats, Typically and Peace Seeker.
