Laurel Park Race 11 - Maryland Million Classic S. Stakes
POST TIME (5) went forward last start over 1811m in the G2 Woodward Stakes at Aqueduct (Dirt) and held on well for third, beaten 4 lengths. This doesn't look as hard so he is a major player. BARBADIAN RUNNER (2) reunites with Forest Boyce after scoring with ease over 1408m in stakes class at Charles Town (Dirt) last time. Record here is impressive with three wins from nine starts. Right in this. SACRED THUNDER (7) was well in commission last start over 1609m at Delaware Park (Dirt) when second, beaten 7 lengths. Is a winner at this circuit. Winning claims on best figures. BLUE KINGDOM (6) scored last start at Delaware Park (Dirt) to make it three wins from three starts this campaign. Has good early speed so should take up a forward position. Deserves respect on best figures.
