Race Record 17 1-8-3 $16,261

In his 17th career start, Mr Uh Oh courageously broke his maiden in style and drew off to win by four widening lengths in his final career start.

Big Code is a Florida-bred three-year-old colt by graded stakes winner Omega Code out of a full-sister a $254,147 black-type mare and half-sister to a $231,400 winner out of a $272,582 stakes-winning mare.

This big, handsome colt has the look of a winner and we're anxious for him to get started. He's in the barn of Dave Vivian.

Race Record 2 0-1-0 $3,514

BC ran a good second in his second career start at Gulfstream, but was sadly claimed away from us.

He sat just off the leader early, headed that one turning for home and just couldn't quite hold off the winner.

 
Stradley

Stradley is a big, long-striding three-year-old Texas-bred colt by Gold Legend out of a Miswaki mare, who is a half-sister to two $100,000-plus winners. The second dam is by Wild Again and a half-sister to three stakes-winners over $100,000.

We claimed Stradley out of a winning effort at Lone Star. He's in the barn of trainer Danny Pish.

Race Record 9 2-2-2 $18,429

Stradley ran a puzzling 10th in his most recent start. He ran wide around the turn, but usually pours it on down the stretch and he was completely flat this time. We'll give him a good look over and be sure there's not something gone. As the 9-5 favorite, we certainly expected more from him in this spot.

Unfortunately, Stradley suffered a career-ending injury in his last race and has been retired.
