Find Out Why The Lir Jet won Royal Ascot’s Norfolk (G2) as a 2-year-old but is winless since. He makes his debut both in the United States and as a gelding. Sharing high-weight of 124 pounds with The Lir Jet is the Eddie Kenneally-trained Point Me By, winner of Arlington Park’s Bruce D. Stakes (G1) (formerly the Secretariat). The field of 12 3-year-old stakes winners, with 3 others on the also-eligible list, includes the filly Miss Amulet, a Group 2 winner in England and a close second in a Group 1; Woodbine’s Marine (G3) winner Easy Time; the Wesley Ward duo of Churchill Downs’ War Chant winner Next and Ellis Park’s Dade Park Dash victor Into the Sunrise; and American Derby winner Tango Tango Tango. Other stakes winners are Bodenheimer, King of Miami, Omaha City, and County Final. Last year’s Kentucky Downs Juvenile Sprint runner-up Fauci, also trained by Ward, needs a scratch to get in the field.
