The Summit of Speed weekend theme continues with the Bob Umphrey Sprint Stakes for three-year-olds and up dashing 5-1/2 furlongs on Tapeta track.
And it would appear that this would be Mora’s (7-2) best chance to earn stakes brackets.
Troubled in his season’s debut [see Gulfstream Park, JUN 2, Race 3] he returns at his best trip [4-for-8] and a more impressive 4-for-7 slate on the All-Weather.
His last was a good race to build and trainer Renaldo Richards gives the call to Miguel Vasquez, a tack that has worked a worthy 30% of the time.
Equally compelling is Richards’ rate with LAY-2 runners [24%] and recently with beaten favorites–6 for his last 10 starters.
We’re taking Mora to win at 5-2 or greater and key-boxing exactas with surface loving with Camacho handled surface lover Hope in Him (3-1) and fast working Warrior’s Pride (8-1).

Yesterday’s Dwyer, though small payout, allows a free shot at GP R8 today. Riders Up with Broadway once more on his FRA call on the KB at GP, and for the fun of it the three highlighted in theTri Key as well with Wora on top. Thanks John. “Coming up on a Double Nickels Benchmark I am”, said Sam I. Am. I received a “Greetings” letter from Lyndon Johnson 55 years back ordering me to report in for induction back on July 8, 1968. RIP to all Vets no longer with us. Keep them all in your thoughts and prayers. All friends and family passed as well this July 4. RIDERS UP!
Amen on your remembrances, McD, and thank you for your service…
