Boston Red Rocks

($639,455 – 1:50.3)

T. Tetrick, S.Elliott

Peter R. Blood, Rick Berks

Rebounded with first-over victory in his NA Cup elimination at odds of 3/4. Starting from post four as 3/1 second choice behind non-Pace-eligible Betting Line. Could become ninth horse to win NA Cup and Pace including fellow Elliott trainee Well Said

Last Race: 6/11 – Moh – NA Cup Elim – 1^st (1:50.3)

Lyons Snyder

($113,418 – 1:49.0)

S. Filion, M. Silva

Jeffrey S. Snyder, Geoffrey Lyons Mound

Got caught in the last strides by favorite Betting Line when trying to wire his NA Cup elimination. Drew post two in the Final and was made 4/1 third choice. Son of ’09 Pace champ Well Said continues to develop rapidly

Last Race: 6/11 – Moh – NA Cup Elim – 2^nd

R. Waples, B. Maxwell

Bradley R. Maxwell, Howard A. Taylor, Edwin J. Gold, Ben D. Mudry

Continues to round into form with only two 2016 starts under his belt. Posted a 26.2 last quarter in his NA Cup elim. Canadian champion drew poorly in NA Cup Final (post 9) but has the look of live longshot

Last Race: 6/4 – Moh – Somebeachsomewhere – 2^nd

Katies Rocker

($311,755 – 1:50.3)

Scored biggest career win in upset of Boston Red Rocks in $100,000 NJSS Final while lowering his lifetime mark. Skipping NA Cup to prepare for Hempt Memorial at Pocono. Entered to qualify Saturday morning at the Meadowlands

Last Race: 6/4 – M1 – NJSS Final – 1^st (1:50.3)

Big Top Hanover

($569,637 – 1:51.0)

Y.Gingras, R. Burke

JT45, Burke Racing Stable

Finished second to top-ranked Boston Red Rocks in his NA Cup elim. Drew the rail for the Final and was Gingras’s choice. Still looking for first win of 2016 after six on-the-board finishes

Stayed undefeated in 2016 with NYSS win over Rooney victor Missile J. Also skipped the NA Cup but stayed sharp this past Monday with a 1:53.3 qualifier win at Gaitway Farm on a very windy morning

Last Race: 6/13 – Gty – Qualifier – 1^st (1:53.3)

Check Six

($463,595 – 1:50.3)

Y. Gingras, R. Burke

Burke Racing Stable, Weaver Bruscemi, William L. Switala, James J. Martin

Drops again after another disappointing effort when finishing 6^th in his NA Cup elim and failing to make the Final. Right back in Friday at Harrah’s Philadelphia in a PASS as the 8/5 morning line favorite

Last Race: 6/11 – Moh –NA Cup Elim – 6^th

American Passport

S. Zeron, T. Alagna

Brittany Farms, Riverview Racing, Alagna Racing, Jodi L. Siamis

Must regroup after 6^th place finish in NA Cup elim and failing to make the Final. Still feel like this horse has the talent to compete with the top horses, but must put it all together on the track

Last Race: 6/11 – Moh – NA Cup Elim – 6^th

Looks to back up his 20/1 upset win over Check Six in a PASS two weeks ago when he faces that same rival again in Friday’s PASS at Harrah’s Philadelphia. Son of Somebeachsomewhere, who famously lost The Pace to Art Official in 2008

Last Race – 6/4 – Mea – PASS – 1st (1:50)

D. Miller, T. Alagna

First caught our eye with impressive debut win at the Meadowlands before being shut down for winter. Again caught our eye in Tony Alagna-debut in Meadowlands conditioned race. Inexperienced, but clearly talented
