She draws much better today. -Scott Ehlers | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets 8:45 WO 9th SUN FORESTER (#13, 12-1) had a wide trip over an inside-biased surface before landing on the edges when dropping to this $10K class from $25K while going long two weeks ago.

She draws fine and should like two turns. Two of three sibs beat winners and two of three sibs won routing. That Nov 27th work was 2nd best of 82. This barn shows a flat bet profit with horses making their second start. -Scott Ehlers | Get PPs for this race | Bet this race with DRF Bets 11:51 RP 11th VICENZA GOLD (#9, 12-1) is by a 12% debut sire (all sire stats are for 2YO's only).
