LOST IRON
Trainer: Bill Mott
Last race: April 1, 4th
Finish: 1st by 2
Beyer: 79
Grandson of A.P. Indy added blinkers for his third start, and showed improved positional speed en route to a good-looking maiden win at 1 1/8 miles. Has the look of a typically slow-but-sure developer for Hall of Fame trainer.
ISABELLE
Trainer: Bill Mott
Last race: March 31, 7th
Finish: 2nd by 3 3/4
Beyer: 75
Making her first start back from a 111-day layoff, this New York-bred mare stretched out to one mile for the first time, and pressed an exceptionally strong pace while able to save the place against allowance runners.
OUR KARMA
Trainer: Joe Imperio
Last race: March 31, 6th
Finish: 2nd by 2 1/4
Beyer: 66
This first-time starter was next-to-last early after being bumped at the break, and rallied determinedly behind a favored dropdown winner while lightly regarded at 18-1. Fits with $25,000 maidens.
