1 Belle Gallantey (KY) 5/M L J L Ortiz 114 R R Rodriguez
2 Flashy American (KY) 5/M L A Cintron 118 K G McPeek
3 Molly Morgan (KY) 5/M L C J Lanerie 119 D L Romans

5 Bryan's Jewel (KY) 6/M L J Toledo 112 M Robertson
6 Princess of Sylmar (PA) 4/F L J Castellano 123 T A Pletcher
This is a one horse race, and it's Princess of Sylmar. Gamay Noir and Bryan's Jewel have each won the local prep Obeah (Gamay this year, Jewel last year). Flashy American and Molly Morgan ran in the Fleur in their last and that has been an important prep for the Del Cap. Belle Gallantey was 5th in the Phipps. I think the only horse who has any chance to beat the Princess is Molly.
Win: Princess of Sylmar
Place: Molly Morgan
Show: Bryan's Jewel
Good luck to all and safe travels.
