A full field of 12 plus two also eligibles filled the entry box for this juvenile dash, highlighted by the debut of $800,000 Keeneland September yearling purchase ARRIVAL (Tapit&log=">Tapit), a half-brother to 2014 GI Breeders' Cup Classic and GI Haskell Invitational S. winner Bayern (Offlee Wild) from the coveted female family of influential broodmare Courtly Dee. Carrying the colors of John Oxley for trainer Mark Casse, the gray has worked on a weekly interval dating back to late April and obtains the services of Julien Leparoux, who piloted Classic Empire (Pioneerof the Nile) to a championship 2-year-old campaign for this owner/trainer combination in 2016. Dale Romans will send out a pricey KEESEP acquisition of his own in Albaugh Family Stable's Hollywood Star (Malibu Moon), who hammered for $550,000. A son of MGISW Hollywood Story (Wild Rush), the 2-year-old posted a trio of five-furlong drills over the local strip earlier this month and finalized his preparations with a four-panel gate breeze in :48.80 June 24.
