Dehere of the Cat.
Rutherford B.
SECOND RACE
Comandante...Worked in 10.2 before sale. Has some interesting breeding with a sib Max Again that hasn't won yet - but is a solid 7-0-5-1. 7/22 work was best of 68 and could signal readiness.

THIRD RACE

Cat Ferrad...Toss the latest turf experiment. Has speed and has run well moving from the grass previously.
Sansannah.
