Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted March 8, 2019 Journalists Share Posted March 8, 2019 The top three finishers from the Feb. 15 John Battaglia Memorial S., led by winner Somelikeithotbrown (Big Brown), face off once again Saturday in the GIII Jeff Ruby Steak S. going a sixteenth further at Turfway Park. Runner-up in both the Aug. 29 GIII With Anticipation S. and the Sept. 29 GIII Pilgrim S., Somelikeithotbrown was third beaten just over a half-length in the GI Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf at Churchill Downs Nov. 2. The bay was making his seasonal bow in the Battaglia, which was delayed a week due to bad weather, and scored a facile 3 1/2-length victory. His trainer Mike Maker has done well here in the past, winning four prior renewals of this test. Battaglia runner-up Dynamic Racer (Run Away and Hide) owns a win over this strip as well in a one-mile optional claimer Jan. 3, while third-place finisher Dabo (Temple City) has just one win in four starts, a debut score at Arlington in August. Somelikeithotbrown’s biggest threat is likely to come from the undefeated Skywire (Afleet Alex). The bay opened his account with a victory sprinting over the Woodbine synthetic Dec. 9 and romped by six lengths next out when stretched to two turns on the dirt at Gulfstream Feb. 13.
