Kisber and Bethlehem Stables’ multiple Grade 1-placed Rockemperor will exit post 2 under Manny Franco in search of his first graded score.The 5-year-old Holy Roman Emperor horse has hit the board in a trio of Grade 1 events, including a third in the 2019 Belmont Derby, a second in the Manhattan in July at Belmont and a third two starts back in the Turf Classic in September at Churchill Downs.Rockemperor wintered at Payson Park in Florida before shipping to New York, where he breezed a 1/2-mile in 50.03 seconds on the Belmont dirt training track on April 24.“He breezed here once and looked great,” said Brown’s New York-based assistant Dan Stupp. “Just by watching him gallop around, it appears that he’s awfully full of himself. He’s been galloping very forwardly and it looks like he’s doing very well.”Sanford J. Goldfarb and Samuel Abraham’s Devamani, a 7-year-old French-bred son of Dubawi, captured the Knickerbocker (G2) in October over yielding Belmont turf to close out his 2020 campaign, earning a 100 Beyer Speed Figure.With a record of 25-5-8-5 and purse earnings of $401,239, the experienced Devamani posted a career-best 102 Beyer when second to Instilled Regard in last year’s Fort Marcy.Tribhuvan, a 5-year-old French-bred son of Toronado owned by Dubb, Madaket Stables and Wonder Stables, captured the Prix du Bras d’Or at Compiegne and the Prix de la Chambre de Monsieur at Chantilly in 2019 for his former conditioner Henri-Alex Pantall.The bay made a trio of starts last year for Brown, including a nose score in a 1 1/16-mile optional-claiming event on the Belmont turf in July.Devamani will exit post 1 under Jose Lezcano, while Tribhuvan, a first-time gelding, will emerge from post 3 with Eric Cancel up.
