2014 Spinaway Stakes Race Favorite Entries

Angela Renee - Todd Pletcher trained filly raced in graded stakes company for the first time August 10 and finished a good second after a great duel with Cavorting in the Grade 2 Adirondack on this track. Prior to that she had one start - a maiden score at Belmont Park in June. She has been competitive in both career starts - more is expected Sunday with John Velazquez aboard from gate 2 as Angela Renee adds blinkers for the first time.

Condo Commando - will race for just the second time for trainer Rudy Rodriguez - the first being a Maiden Claiming score by an incredible 12 lengths at 12-1 odds on this track August 3 - earning a very good Beyer Speed Figure of 85. She starts from the rail with Joe Bravo guiding her.
