Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted May 31, 2018 Journalists Share Posted May 31, 2018 The New York-based Maraud (Blame) and native New Yorker Therapist (Freud) appear to be the ones to beat in Saturday’s GII Penn Mile, a race that has been won by the likes of Canadian Horse of the Year and MGISW filly Catch a Glimpse (City Zip); GI Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint hero Bobby’s Kitten (Kitten’s Joy); and GI Belmont Derby victor Force the Pass (Speightstown). Kicking off this term with an optional claimer victory on the lawn at Gulfstream Jan. 13, Maraud followed suit with a win in the GIII Palm Beach S. Mar. 3, but could only manage sixth behind ‘TDN Rising Star’ Analyze It (Point of Entry) in Keeneland’s GIII Transylvania S. Apr. 6. The bay returned to winning ways beneath the Twin Spires on the First Saturday in May, capturing the GII American Turf S. over a yielding course. Therapist opened his account with a trio of wins, including the Laurel Futurity S. and the Awad S. last fall. Third in the Palm Beach, the chestnut enters off a win in Gulfstream’s Cutlet Bay S. Mar. 31. ‘TDN Rising Star’ Hawkish (Artie Schiller) followed his impressive debut win in Hallandale Jan. 6 with a fourth in the Palm Beach, but scored a decisive 4 3/4-length victory in an Aqueduct optional claimer last time Apr. 15. The bay is cross-entered in Belmont’s GIII Pennine Ridge S. Saturday. Another runner of interest at a price is Live Oak Plantation’s He’s Bankable (Arch). The Mark Casse pupil enters off back-to-back wins in the state-bred Sophomore Turf S. at Tampa Mar. 25 and the English Channel S. at Gulfstream May 5.
