Sky Flight back in Firecracker

Other contestants include Hammers Terror (Artie Schiller) and Knights Nation

(Indygo Shiner), who both raced for tag when recording last-out victories over

allowance/optional claiming foes on the Matt Winn turf course; and Grade 2

victor Skyring (English Channel), who will be seeking a turnaround in form

following a pair of unplaced efforts in the Dixie (G2) and Maker's 46 Mile (G1).

The $100,000

Bashford Manor (G3) and $100,000

Debutante

for fillies represent the biggest races of the spring/summer meet for

two-year-olds and both six-furlong events attracted eight-horse fields.

He's Comin in Hot (Early Flyer) will receive plenty of support in the

Bashford Manor following an impressive 4 1/2-length tally over maiden special

weight rivals at Churchill on June 12. Jamie Theriot will guide the Bret

Calhoun-trained gelding. Show Bound (Warrior's Reward) is still a maiden, but

the bay colt was bet down to 3-2 when making a turf debut at Belmont Park on

June 7 and could be well-supported once again for Steve Asmussen on the surface

switch. He adds leading rider Julien Leparoux. Shoot Craps (Trappe Shot), who

defeated Show Bound last time, is also entered.

Asmussen is well-represented in the Debutante with Adhara (Cowboy Cal), a

sharp 6 3/4-length debut winner under the Twin Spires on May 28; Areolite (Tapit),

who rolled to a one-length score when making her lone appearance at Churchill on

May 21; and Thievery (Valid Expectations), a 2 3/4-length odds-on winner at

Indiana Grand on May 12. The Asmussen runners will be ridden by Lanerie,

Leparoux and Robby Albarado, respectively.

The $70,000

Kelly's

Landing concludes the stakes action, featuring a well-matched group of 11

horses at seven furlongs, and top contenders include Agent Di Nozzo

(Ghostzapper), Ruble (Exchange Rate), Russellin (Old Fashioned) and Schivarelli

(Montbrook).
