Turf Sprinters Featured in the $100,000 Quick Call Stakes

The morning line favorite at 5-2 is Favorite Tale, a gelded son of Tale of the Cat out of a half sister to Horse of the Year Favorite Trick. Trained by Guadalupe Preciado, he will be making his turf debut under jockey Rosie Napravnik. He has won four of his seven lifetime starts and was last seen finishing second in the Oh Say Stakes by a neck.  He will break from post position five.

Pure Sensation going for first win of the year

Second choice at 3-1 is Pure Sensation, a homebred son of Zenzational for Patricia Generazio. Trained by Christophe Clement with Jose Lezcano named to ride, the three-year-old colt has never tried the turf and was last seen finishing fifth in the Woody Stephens (G2) at Belmont. He is winless from two starts this year and is still looking for his second career win.

Escapist undefeated on the turf

Escapist is the only horse in the field to have actually won on the grass and he will put his undefeated streak on the line. A perfect two for two for trainer Peter Pugh, the sophomore son of Stroll has been installed at 8-1 on the morning line with Chris DeCarlo in the irons. He won his career debut on the grass at Gulfstream in February and followed that up with an allowance win on the Belmont lawn in June.
