TUP 3 (Alw-18k/1x, 4&up, 8T) – Post Time 5:12 PM ET
Primary – #6 VEKOMA KID, #3 Seas of Normandy
Secondary – #5 Athens Moon
Horse Comments:
#6 Vekoma Kid (3-1) set the pace and held the place in a Mcl-16k turf route at DEL June 2025 and winner Lucky Prince clicked right back. This one made the running and graduated as the favorite in a turf route at DEL August 2025, and he chased from second and prevailed by a neck at 8.5T when last seen at PEN September 2025 (show finisher next-out winner). Justin Evans is 23% with new additions to his barn and he sports a pair of local 5f bullets for this engagement.
#3 Seas of Normandy (8-5) chased the pace and hit the board in his last two local flat mile turf races. He is 0-for-3 on turf overall and his barn is 1-for-27 at Turf Paradise.
#5 Athens Moon (4-1) was part of the trifecta in half of his last ten local turf starts. He owns competitive numbers and might be in the mix for a minor award.
