Mr. Z (5-2)
A $135k purchase from the Fasig-Tipton October 2013 sale, Mr. Z has competed in five graded stakes races, just one less than the entire field combined. He has 3 seconds and 2 fifths in those efforts which makes him the clear class of the race. He is also the only runner to exit the Breeders' Cup Juvenile where he ran a decent fifth beaten less than two lengths for second (after Texas Red won by 6+ lengths).
Trained by the Wayne “the Coach” Lukas and campaigned by Zayat Stables, Mr. Z brings first class connections to this Midwest affair.
Looking at his Pace Figures, he ran his lifetime top of 74 the race prior to the Breeders' Cup. And while he did run 72.8/79.9 at Santa Anita, he did regress in his final figure which was disappointing while increasing his 4 furlong number by 10 points.
The Play: Regressor – this will be his sixth different track and seventh race, both a lot to ask of such a young horse, especially off a Breeders' Cup race and as a 5-2 morning line favorite.
