Race Nine:
My choice in the non-graded Coronation Cup Stakes, a race to be run at a distance of 5 and ½ furlongs on the turf for a purse of 100k is:
My Galina. This Medaglia d’Oro-bred 3-year old filly faded in the stretch in a Grade III Stakes event at 7 panels at Belmont a couple months ago. This filly now cuts back over one panel. That cutback could be a prescription for victory. Jorge Abreu trains this El Prado-bred. Look for this filly to be out and winging when the gates open; she’ll have her speedy foes to her inside (that’s a plus). Javier Castellano is in the irons. Others:
