LNJ Foxwoods and NK Racing's Paradise (Gun Runner) gets her start for trainer Brad Cox and Irad Ortiz Jr. who combine to win at a 26% clip at Churchill Downs over the past year. The first foal out of MGSW and MGISP Venetian Harbor (Munnings), the filly brought $700,000 at last year's Fasig-Tipton Saratoga Sale.

Tracy Farmer's Tap This Way (Tapit) also makes her career debut, getting the services of Florent Geroux for her unveiling. Trained by Mark Casse, the homebred is out of GSW La Gran Bailadora (Afleet Alex), the dam of GI Belmont Stakes winner Sir Winston (Awesome Again).

Debuting for Phil D'Amato, Dolladoro (Medaglia d'Oro) is out of Runaway Doll (Majestic Warrior). A $550,000 Keeneland September yearling purchase, the dark bay fired a five-furlong bullet work (1:00, 1/24) at Churchill Downs on Nov. 7.

On the also eligibles list, Betty's Pearl (Munnings), a $700,000 OBS April purchase, returns after a runner-up effort in a six-furlong Keeneland test Oct. 5. TJCIS PPs
