Delaunay in search of redemption in Iowa Sprint

Bringing a six-race win streak into this Iowa Sprint is Work All

Week, an Illinois-bred last seen taking the $100,000 Hot Springs at Oaklawn Park

on March 8. The speedy Midwest Thoroughbreds-owned gelding, also a two-time

stakes winner in Illinois-bred company last season, figures to take some

catching under Chris Emigh.

Mico Margarita, a Grade 3 winner at Calder as a three-year-old last year, has

won only once in his past seven starts, that being the $60,000 Oak Hall at

Evangeline Downs in April. Last time, the Steve Asmussen trainee could only be

fourth after a slow start in the Aristides.

Alsvid, runner-up three times in stakes at Oaklawn before capturing the

$75,000 Prairie Express on May 24, is joined by that race's runner-up,

Apprehender, who has twice won the King Cotton at Oaklawn. The field is rounded

out by the allowance-class Frederico.

Tom Amoss also has a serious contender for the $100,000

Iowa

Distaff in Quiet Success, an allowance scorer at Fair Grounds and Delta

Downs who finished a close second in the $200,000 Sugar Maple at Charles Town in

April. Also lining up in the 1 1/16-mile test for fillies and mares are the top

three finishers from the May 26 Wild Rose at Prairie Meadows -- Hung the Moon,

Hitechnoweenie, and Glorys Last Chance -- and Diva's Diamond, a two-time winner

of the Peach of It Handicap for Illinois-breds at Hawthorne.

Livi Makenzie was cross-entered in the Iowa Distaff and the $100,000

Saylorville, a six-furlong dash the Ron Moquett pupil won last season as a

3-2 favorite. Among the favorites on the morning line are Dancin' Lil, Flashy

Campaign, and American Sugar.
