Turfway Park by Bret Battaglia’s Picks: THURSDAY, MARCH 15 (Preview)

RACE 1
VAIDATED BLARNEY has the speed to make the lead and is capable of the wire-to-wire score tonight. GOLD CHASER is solid at this level and has to be respected. IMPASSABLE CANYON drops from the allowance ranks into this bottom claimer. Anything close to his best would make him a winner but the drop in a huge reason for concern.

RACE 2
MUNTIJ has the tactical speed to be in contention throughout and should get a good trip from the outside post. He rates the edge with Franklin back aboard. ON THE RIVER comes off of a couple of solid efforts and figures to be the one to beat. RABINATO will be running at the end and fits with these.

RACE 3
A CHANGE OF HEART was a beaten favorite last out in Tampa but Colebrook adds blinkers tonight and she will be tough to catch in this one. GO STELLAIRE is still winless after 12 tries but comes off of a good effort over this track and looks like the main competition. LITTTLE HAVANA is a contender.

RACE 4
SCAT LADY ran well last out and hooks a fairly weak field.  She appears to be in a good spot to pick up her maiden win for Keith Kinmon with Franklin back aboard. JASMENE needed her last race after a 5-1/2 month layoff. She should move forward and is the one to beat. DOWNCITY rates a chance.

RACE 5
SMARTY KITTEN was claimed from a winning effort two starts back and hooked much tougher last out. He drops back to the bottom for Jamie Grubbs and looks best with De Leon back aboard. HEAT IT UP RICH hasn’t won over the Turfway surface but has been second in seven of his nine races. He can’t be left out of the gimmicks. RAGING MARKET will be running late and his best makes him...

Legacy Ranch’s Wicked Affair posted the fastest clocking from the 38 2-year-olds that posted gate drills on Tuesday morning. Trained by Terry Knight, Wicked Affair covered the 220 yards in :12.3.

The homebred filly is by One Sweet Jess and out of Burr Cold, a two-time allowance winner at Los Alamitos during her 10-race career. Burr Cold’s dam is Tender Flyer, a stakes winner of over $68,000. It’s in the breeding shed that Tender Flyer has made the most impact. She is the mother of Flying Fig, the champion 2-year-old filly in 2010. Flying Fig earned $806,920 in her racing career while finishing second in the Los Alamitos Two Million Futurity, Ed Burke Million Futurity, and Golden State Million Futurity. Tender Flyer is also the dam of stakes winners Visual Man and California Eagle and of Platki, who posted the fastest qualifying time to the Ed Burke Million Futurity last year. This is also the family of Ed Burke Memorial Futurity winner Heza Secret Diamond.

            There were five 2-year-olds that recorded :12.4 clockings on Tuesday headed by the Monty Arrossa-trained duo of Budbreak and Stevieb Flashofcash, a pair of Los Alamitos Equine Sale graduates. Purchased for $22,000, Budbreak is a gelding by FDD Dynasty and out of Paint Your Beau. A daughter of Pyc Paint Your Wagon, Paint Your Beau broke her maiden at first asking over a field that included Grade 1 winner A Toss Up in 2011. Paint Your Beau would later run sixth to Mighty B Valiant in the Remington Park Oklahoma Bred Futurity and second in the King William Handicap at Retama Park in 2013. She also won an allowance race at Will Rogers Downs. Budbreak is from the family of Ruidoso Futurity winner Okey Dokey Fantasy ($576,521), Fast Debonair ($455,658) and 2004 Los Alamitos Maiden Stakes winner Royal Medallion.

            Budbreak worked alongside the...
