Bob Fortus at The Times-Picayune offers some perspective on maturing
3-year-olds and history of the LeComte Stakes. The race has only produced one Kentucky Derby winner, War
Emblem, who finished 5th in the LeComte. This year’s running has 13 entries (2 coupled) and just as many
handicapping angles. From a scan
of equine sites and Twitter feeds there is no consensus choice, with Exfactor,
Hammer’s Terror, Capetown Devil, Dan and Sheila, Z Dager, Shared Property,
Seven Lively Sins, Ted’s Folly, and Mr. Bowling all getting consideration// Nice
feature on Rosie Napravnik who’s hoping for her second Kentucky Derby mount,
this time with Seven Lively Sins// Friscan, last seen finishing third in the Bashford
Manor (G3) in early July, returned to racing today at Laurel. The colt dominated a 5.5 furlong
optional claimer in which he led the whole way// Wynn Las Vegas updated Kentucky
Derby futures for the second time this week. Several LeComte entries, including
favorite Shared Property are 175-1 and up.
