Dagnabit heads Sanford

Tremont S. winner DAGNABIT (Freud) is the lone stakes winner in Thursday's

$150,000

Sanford S. (G2), which will pit seven juveniles over six furlongs at

Saratoga, and the Richard Dutrow-trained colt will be attempting to extend his

perfect mark to three-for-three. An easy winner over New York-bred rivals in his

career debut, the bay youngster stepped up to open company and recorded a half-length

score in the June 29 Tremont. Cornelio Velasquez will retain the mount.

All six of Dagnabit's rivals are exiting maiden special weight tallies.

DESERT PARTY (Street Cry [Ire]) will likely draw support off his convincing 3

3/4-length debut win at Arlington Park last out. Conditioned by Eoin Harty, the Darley colorbearer cost $2.1 million at the Fasig-Tipton Florida February

two-year-sale and will get a new rider in Edgar Prado. BULLION CACHE (Seeking

the Gold), PHOSPHORESCENT (Rock Slide) and NOTONTHESAMEPAGE (Catienus) are all

exiting maiden victories at Churchill Downs.

OFFICER IPOD (Officer) will make his second lifetime appearance after

crushing maiden special weight foes at Delaware Park for trainer Tony Dutrow,

and VINEYARD HAVEN (Lido Palace [Chi]) will make his first start for Bobby

Frankel after being sold off a smart debut win at Calder.
