A field of sevenĀ is setĀ to do battle in what looks to be a tightly contested race. The 5-2 morning line favourite, Sumomentsomewhere A (Somebeachsomewhere)Ā is coming off a second-place finish in the MGM Borgata consolation. He hasnāt been to the winnerās circle since Mar. 8 at the Meadowss. The seven-year-old gelding has been orchestrated a few good miles and has finished second place in three of his last five starts. Sumomentsomwhere Aās lastĀ win was in 1:50.4Ā whichĀ was good enough to be his lifetime mark. This week, he will have Yannick Gingras in the bike.
