Finnegans Wake Going for Fourth Straight in $200,000 San Luis Rey

Finnegans Wake has been tabbed as the morning line favorite at morning line odds of 6-5 for trainer Peter Miller. A six-year-old son of Powerscourt (GB), he comes into this race off of three consecutive victories against graded stakes competition. He has been training sharply since his last race, a one-length victory in the San Marcos (G2) over a field of seven rivals. Victor Espinoza will remain aboard and they will break from post position eight.

Power Foot shooting for first stakes 

Second choice at 4-1 on the morning line is Power Foot, another son of Powerscourt (GB), who will be saddled by trainer Neil Drysdale. The six-year-old gelding has won four of his twenty starts and will be trying to earn the first stakes win of his career. He was moved up to third last time out in the San Marcos (G2) after a troubled trip. Flavien Prat will be aboard for the first time from post position four.

Joes Blazing Aaron making first start off the claim

Also in the field at morning line odds of 6-1 is Joes Blazing Aaron who will be making his first start since being claimed by trainer Ron Hess, Jr. A seven-year-old gelded son of Graeme Hall, the seven-time career winner was third last time out in his first start of the year. Joe Talamo will be aboard for the first time and they are scheduled to break from post position six.
