The unbeaten stakes winner Book’em Danno will attempt to transfer his sharp form to turf Sunday when he runs in the Grade 3, $150,000 Futurity at Aqueduct. The six-furlong race for 2-year-olds carries a “Win and You’re In” berth for the Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint. The Futurity shares a card with the Grade 3 Matron for 2-year-old fillies at six furlongs on the grass. Book’em Danno is part of an eight-horse field that includes Please Advise, who was third in the Juvenile Sprint at Kentucky Downs, and Apollo Ten, a maiden winner at the meet and a half-brother to Grade 2 winner Bay Storm. :: Get Belmont at the Big A Clocker Reports from Mike Welsch and the Clocker Team. Available every race day. Book’em Danno won his debut against New Jersey-breds Aug. 12 at Monmouth Park. He darted clear by 9 1/2 lengths in the maiden special weight sprint, then came back and captured the $129,000 Smoke Glacken against open company at Monmouth. For his stakes win at six furlongs, he earned a Beyer Speed Figure of 88. Jay Briscione, who owns Book’em Danno, said distance was the draw of the Futurity. “The sheets kind of say that his sire is better shorter and turf,” he said. “Till they get on it, you never know.” Book’em Danno is by Bucchero, a two-time winner of the Grade 2 Woodford sprinting on turf at Keeneland. He is getting 15 percent winners from his first-time turfers and 19 percent winners overall on the grass. Book’em Danno’s other stakes option this weekend at Aqueduct would have been to remain on dirt for the Grade 1 Champagne. “No need to bang the heavyheads just yet,” said Briscione. Derek Ryan trains Book’em Danno, who was a two-length winner of the Smoke Glacken on Sept. 9. Sea Streak, who ran second, came back to win a maiden special weight at Aqueduct by 4 3/4 lengths on Sunday, with a Beyer of 78. As for Ryan and Briscione, they teamed for a Wednesday win at Aqueduct with Two’s a Crowd, who captured a $30,000 maiden claimer. Jose Ortiz will ride Book’em Danno, a horse with tactical speed who breaks from post 8. Please Advise won his debut on turf in June at Belmont Park. He’s run in three turf sprint stakes since, finishing fourth in the Tyro at Monmouth, fifth in the Soaring Free at Woodbine, and third in the Juvenile Sprint. Please Advise’s dam, Amansara, was a stakes winner on turf and she’s produced an overnight stakes winner on the surface in Siem Riep, an earner of nearly $400,000. George Weaver trains Please Advise, who will break from post 2 under Junior Alvarado. Apollo Ten owns the field’s best turf Beyer, a 79 for his maiden special weight win Sept. 23. The effort came in his second start, and first on the grass. Apollo Ten’s dam, Stormy Regatta, was a two-time stakes winner on the grass and has produced a four-time stakes winner on turf in Bay Storm, who to date has earned more than $1.3 million. Christophe Clement trains Apollo Ten, who will break from post 7 under Joel Rosario. Where’s Chris moves to turf following a debut win against maiden special weight rivals Sept. 14 at Aqueduct. His sire, Twirling Candy, is getting 15 percent winners from his first-time turfers. Where’s Chris is out of the mare Sea Queen, a stakes winner on turf who also was second in the Grade 1 Belmont Oaks Invitational. She has already produced a turf winner in Express Pharoah. Lamorna is both the lone filly and maiden in the Futurity. She’s cutting back to one turn after running third in a maiden special weight on turf at Saratoga. Lamorna’s dam, Freudie Anne, was a multiple stakes winner of nearly $400,000 and has produced a turf winner who is a full sibling to Lamorna. Ruddy Buddy was supplemented to the Futurity off a fifth-place finish in the Rosie’s at Colonial. The race has produced three next-out winners, with two taking stakes at Laurel and Charles Town. Star of Mystery tries Matron The stakes winners Amidst Waves and Star of Mystery are the most accomplished members in the 12-horse Matron. Amidst Waves, who is seeking her third consecutive stakes win behind the Colleen at Monmouth and the Bolton Landing at Saratoga, is cross-entered in the Indian Summer at Keeneland and it’s “90 percent” likely she runs Sunday in Kentucky, a co-owner told Daily Racing Form’s Nicole Russo. Star of Mystery is looking to get back in the win column off a close sixth-place finish in the Group 2 Lowther at York. This past summer, she won back-to-back races in England by a combined margin of 15 lengths, among them the Maureen Brittain Memorial Empress Fillies at Newmarket. Jose Ortiz has the mount for Godolphin and trainer Charles Appleby. “She’s a filly that showed a lot of speed back home. She’ll want quick ground,” said Alex Merriam, assistant to Appleby. “Charlie doesn’t send them over here for no reason.” Star of Mystery is a half-sister to Althiqa, who Appleby shipped to New York in 2021. She won consecutive Grade 1 races, taking the Just a Game and Diana. – additional reporting by David Grening :: Want to learn more about handicapping and wagering?
