RACE 4
1 Mile
Md 20,000
Purse $25,000
Three Years Old and Upward
#2 Super Reagan (8-1)
This Peter Miller trained 3 year old gelding was claimed 2 back at this same level but sprinting from the Doug O'Neill barn. I think what Miller discovered is he claimed a very sound animal. In the following 18 days after the claim he worked him 4 furlongs and then put him in a MCL 40,000 race down the hill and in my opinion it was simply because the horse was fit to race and just needed to run. I truly believe this is the ideal spot today. Since that turf effort where he finished 7th, Miller has put 3 works into him (2 of which are solid 6F drills) to have him ready for today. Turf was never going to be this horses best surface but I believe synthetic is. Note his best lifetime beyer was over a synthetic surface at Betfair Hollywood Park and against a much tougher group then he'll face today. Super Reagan is sired by Successful Appeal who is an A+ synthetic sire according to Brisnet sire stats. Jockey Elvis Trujillo stays aboard and he stretches out for the first time. I think it's all systems ago today and why he is the QRacing PLAY OF THE DAY
Good Luck
