Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted August 24, 2018 Journalists Share Posted August 24, 2018 It’s been a long time between drinks for Flameaway (Scat Daddy), who hasn’t won since the GIII Sam F. Davis S Feb. 18, but he has faced tougher than he’ll find here in Saturday’s GIII Smarty Jones S. at Parx. Second in the GII Jim Dandy S. July 28 to the GI Runhappy Travers S.-bound Tenfold (Curlin), Flameaway has been knocking heads with some of the best of the sophomore division and should appreciate the break from the division’s stars. Axelrod (Warrior’s Reward) may be his biggest challenge, as he holds the highest Beyer Speed Figure (94) in the field and earned it at the same distance with a win July 14 in the GIII Indiana Derby. Title Ready (More Than Ready) is often in the mix, but was beat last out by Axelrod when third in Indiana and hasn’t won since an Oaklawn allowance Feb. 1. Undefeated First Mondays (Curlin) merits a look as he hasn’t set a foot wrong since his June 28 debut and will face stakes company for the first time.
