2014 Longacres Mile Race Favorite Entries

Stryker Phd - defending runner up in this race had spent his whole racing career at Emerald Downs before a sixth in an Allowance Optional Claiming at Golden Gate in November and a fifth in the Grade 3 Berkeley Handicap on that same track November 29. Besides those results he has finished off the board just once in 13 other career starts. Last year he had a win September 8 in the minor Muckleshoot Tribal Classic after a second in the 2013 Longacres during a string of four straight second place finishes - the others being minor stakes action. Stryker Phd has two starts this year and two minor stakes scores - the Mr. Rainier Handicap July 20 and the Budweiser Handicap June 15 by 3 1/2 lengths. He has been on fire this year and has been competitive every time out on this track. He should be a factor Sunday with Leslie Mawing aboard as the 121 pound highweight and 5-2 morning line favorite.

Prohibition - New York shipper has won three of six starts this year and has six wins, two seconds and a third place finish in 17 career starts. Last time out was a fourth behind the impressive Zivo in the minor Commentator Handicap at Belmont Park May 31 after an Allowance score at Parx May 2 and an Allowance score at Aqueduct in March. He makes his first start on the west coast and his second stakes start overall with Isaias Enriquez aboard from gate 3 at 3-1 odds.

He enters having placed in just one of his last three starts - that being a second last time out in the minor Mt. Rainier Handicap on this track July 20.

Boyett - ships north from California off a fourth in the competitive minor Wickerr Stakes at Emerald Downs July 23 and two Allowance Optional Claiming scores at Santa Anita. He has placed in eight of his last nine starts with that fourth last time out breaking the streak and has to be in the conversation based on the level of competition he's faced. Boyett has four wins, three second and four third place finishes in 14 career starts and lines up in gate 6 with Agapito Delgadillo aboard.

Mr. Bowling - is coming off a disappointing sixth in the minor Mt.

Twistgrips leaves from gate 4 with Amadeo Perez in the irons.

Scat Daddybaby - has 12 career starts, all on this track with five wins and three second place finishes. He enters this weekend in terrific form - four straight wins over the last year before a second last time out in an Allowance August 3.
