Finger Lakes Race 7 - New York Derby Stakes

TRAIN THE TRAINER (1) Took charge of the race when winning by 2 3/4L last start at Saratoga and facing a weaker group of contenders. Unbeaten last 2 runs and has the ideal stall. One of the major players. KING'S LEAP (3) Right in the mix last run around here but racing in stronger company. Has run into the placings at every start this preparation. Luis E Perez has been successful before. Look for a bold run. HIT THE POST (4) Controlled the pace when winning by 2 3/4L last time at Saratoga but up in weight. Christopher Elliott and Melanie Giddings deserve serious consideration as a team. Include in chances. BUTTAH (5) Did well to run into 2nd beaten by 2 1/4L last start at Aqueduct and up against a less challenging field. Producing consistent results since resuming from a spell. Rough chance.
