Race 1 – Blazing Hot

This lightly raced gelding gets a perfect pace setup with several others likely to gas out late. His FIRE and CPR ratings are tops in this field, and trainer De La Cerda hits 27% in dirt sprints. His consistency at this level makes him the one to beat. Full pace breakdown and variant adjustments available in the Complete Digest.

Top Choice: Blazing Hot

Main Threats: Blazing Tyreek, Plex

Race 2 – Richard Ave

Drops from MCL 35 to 17.5 and lands in a field with multiple underachievers. Highest Fast Fig in the group and a 49.9 work says he’s sharp. Should sit just off a pressured pace and get first run. See exact turf pace flow charts and trip notes in the Complete Digest.

Top Choice: Richard Ave

Main Threats: Imperatus, Relentless Raider

Race 3 – Shankar

The Digest’s top CPR, FIRE, and Fast Fig horse of the day. His figures are elite and he’s exiting tougher fields where he didn’t disgrace himself. Tactical type who will sit midpack and get first jump. His race flow and pace position are illustrated clearly in the Complete Digest.

Top Choice: Shankar

Main Threats: Clear Destination, Nate the Great

Race 8 – Sonny’s Goldenlady

Speed is an advantage here and this filly holds the best early pace ratings along with a sharp :45.8 opening quarter last out. Saffie Joseph rarely misses in this spot — and the FIRE/CPR combo shows she can wire them. See why her pace shape dominates the field inside the Complete Digest.
