MILE TOPS STAKES-FILLED PENN CARD WIND FITTING by Ben Massam FAVE FOR MILE Penn National offers the premier card of its year-long meet Saturday evening with seven stakes events each worth $100,000 or more, anchored by the newly minted $500,000 GII Penn Mile for sophomore turfers. The 10-horse field is headlined by George Krikorian=s homebred Big Score (Mr. Big), who has logged significant frequent flyer miles this spring, traveling to and from Tim Yakteen=s home base at Santa Anita to compete at tracks east of the Mississippi. The impressive dark bay notched his first graded stakes win in =s Apr. 7 GIII Transylvania S. and recently followed with a one-paced third-place effort in the GIII American Turf S. at Churchill May 6. Equipped with the services of Hall of Fame electee Javier Castellano in the irons, Big Score should find himself in his customary position rallying from off the pace. Cont. p5

She turned the tables on Beholder in the GI Clement L. Hirsch S. at Del Mar in late July, and bested the Spendthrift superstar again when earning a career-top 110 Beyer Speed Figure for a neck decision in the GI Zenyatta S. Oct. 1. Beholder went out a winner with a nose tally from two-time champion (Medaglia d=Oro)--who will skip this race in favor of next Saturday=s GI Ogden Phipps S. at Belmont--in the GI Breeders= Cup Distaff here Nov. 4, while Stellar Wind was a dull and puzzling fourth. Stellar Wind bounced back with a victory in the GI Apple Blossom H. at Oaklawn Apr. 14, and was flattered when runner-up Terra Promessa (Curlin) crushed an overmatched group in the GIII Allaire DuPont Distaff S. at Pimlico Preakness weekend.

A flat mile is probably the ideal distance for Finest City, but one turn would likely be better for her than two. AA mile is in her comfort zone, but she's going to have to run her best race,@ trainer Ian Kruljac told the Santa Anita press office. AWe're looking for another marquee effort. They're all fast fillies, so she'll run according to whatever [rider] Mike [Smith] feels he has underneath him early on in the race.@ Vale Dori was a distant third in the Zenyatta last year, but has reeled off six straight victories since then. She was last seen annexing the GIII Adoration S. here May 7, but Stellar Wind is a much more formidable foe than what she=s been up against during her win streak.

GI Shoemaker Mile S.

BC BERTH ON LINE IN SHOEMAKER MILE

Heart to Heart | Keeneland/Coady by Brian DiDonato A hard-to-separate field of seven compete for an automatic berth into the GI Breeders= Cup Mile in Saturday=s GI Shoemaker Mile in Arcadia. East Coast invader Heart to Heart (English Channel) nearly got his elusive SHOEMAKER MILE S.-GI, 3yo/up, 1m Grade I when PP. Horse Sire second by a neck in 1.

Gangster Street Boss another runner 7. Bolo Temple City back from that (see Graded Stakes Entries) heat who his connections probably wish had skipped this spot. Heart to Heart does his best work when loose on the lead, but had to concede the early advantage in the Maker=s 46 to What a View (Vronsky), who faded to sixth after setting a fairly honest pace. What a View, winner of last year=s GI Frank E. Kilroe Mile, bounced back in the restricted Cal-bred S. over course and distance May 20. Bolo (Temple City) was somewhat surprisingly the 38-10 favorite in the Maker=s 46, but checked in ninth with no obvious excuse. A winner of the GII Arcadia S. here in back-to-back years, he was third behind Bal a Bali (Brz) (Put It Back) and What a View in the Mar. 11 Kilroe. The 5-year-old was most recently upset by Farhaan (Jazil) in the GIII Thunder Road S. Apr. 29. TDN HEADLINE NEWS • PAGE 5 OF 10 • THETDN.COM SATURDAY • JUNE 3, 2017

Bal a Bali is another one with in-and-out form. An impressive winner of the 2015 GIII American S. here in his U.S. debut, he earned just one optional claiming win and was beaten eight times at the graded level through his abbreviated 2016 campaign. The Southern Hemisphere 7-year-old belied 9-1 odds when seemingly back on track in the Kilroe, but settled for fifth against what was probably tougher in Churchill=s GI Woodford Reserve Turf Classic S.

Frostmourne possesses ample tactical speed and will likely need to use it from the far outside post traveling a flat mile. Trainer George Weaver has two colts with early speed in Mo Maverick () and Holiday Stone (Harlan=s Holiday). The latter endured a series of troubled trips during the winter months before nearly stealing the Transylvania, finishing a narrowly beaten second behind Big Score at odds of 34-1.

The bay annexed the GIII Pilgrim S. over the Belmont turf last October, setting him up for his triumph at the World Championships Nov. 4. With the aforementioned pair expected to engage on the front end, graded stakes winners Good Samaritan (Harlan=s Holiday) and Ticonderoga (Tapit), third and fourth, respectively, in the Breeders= Cup Juvenile Turf, should have pace to set up their late rallies. Ticonderoga, who hails from the ever-dangerous Chad Brown barn, followed a win in the GIII Palm Beach S. with an even fourth-place effort in the Transylvania. GII Summer S. hero Good Samaritan was far back early and rallied to check in second, beaten just a length, in the American Turf--his sophomore debut.

Calumet=s other possible Belmont contender True Timber was ruled out of the race by trainer Kiaran McLaughlin Friday morning after coming down with a fever. "He spiked a temperature [Thursday]," McLaughlin said. "He didn't eat, so we're off the Belmont trail. Hopefully he just misses a few days of training, but he certainly can't run." On the board in both the GIII Jerome S. and GIII Withers S., True Timber was last seen finishing third in Pimlico=s Sir Barton S. on the GI Preakness S. undercard May 20.

CLIFFS LEADS BALLYDOYLE DERBY CHARGE ENABLE STORMS TO Finding the favourite for Saturday=s G1 Investec Derby has OAKS SUCCESS been difficult so far, but it may be that >TDN Rising Star= Cliffs of Moher (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) proves an irresistible draw as he spearheads the ludicrously successful and omnipresent Ballydoyle challenge. While his prep in the Listed Dee S. at Chester is far from the most remarkable piece of form on show here, connections were clear beforehand that he would benefit greatly from the experience around the mentally testing Roodeye. On the face of it, a 1 1/2-length beating of Bay of Poets (Ire) (Lope de Vega {Ire}) in that May 12 10-furlong contest may not be good enough, but the indications from Rosegreen suggest he has taken strides towards his main goal, aka Tesio=s notorious piece of wood.

AWhen I saw Ryan not moving I thought I was in trouble, but then he sent out distress signals and I knew my filly would stay and she pulled right away in the last furlong-and-a-half,@ jockey Frankie Dettori commented of the 6-1 joint-second favourite, who was a total of 11 lengths ahead of the third Alluringly (Fastnet Rock {Aus}) at the line. AShe has only run three times before this and is still a frame, so she will get better and better. She is very genuine and honest and very easy to be around, so I=ve got to put her up there with some of the best.
