SA 6 (OC-80k/1x, 8T) – Post Time 6:39 PM ET
Primary – #4 CHARLIE’S CURLIN, #3 Third Beer
Secondary – #5 Army Man
Horse Comments:
#4 Charlie’s Curlin (2-1) removed blinkers, cut back a furlong, and stalked and graduated by a length and a quarter at 8T Feb. 22, and show finisher Sharons Pharoah returned to graduate at 9T March 29. He projects a stalking trip under his winning rider Juan Hernandez.
#3 Third Beer (9-5) added lasix and rallied to beat local CA-bred OC-50k/1x foes at 8T Feb. 21. Florent Geroux is his new pilot and this is his third start off a layoff.
#5 Army Man (2-1) was unplaced in the Pasadena last time. He stalked and graduated under Thursday’s rider Emisael Jaramillo at 9T Jan. 23, and he goes back on lasix in his third start off a layoff.
