'TDN Rising Star' Mindframe (Constitution), who led into the final furlong of last month's GI Belmont Stakes before his inexperience cost him the final leg of the Triple Crown, rates the marquee in Saturday's GI NYRA Bets Haskell Stakes at Monmouth Park, a 'Win and You're In' qualifier for the GI Breeders' Cup Classic at Del Mar in early November.

Late Pick 5 — $0 other handicapping here!. RACE 1: CLAIMING $20,000 (CONDITIONED), 3-YEAR-OLDS AND UP, 1 1/16 MILES (GRASS) Both of my top two picks come out of the same race at this condition on June 28. #3 Maybe It’s Time (8-1) made his first start off a seven-month layoff that day and churned on well from off the pace to secure second. He ran a big race at this level three starts ago, then faded after a wide trip two starts back before going on the sidelines. He has a lot of upside, and is likely to go off at a better price than #6 Brady Bear (3-1). That rival crossed to the rail and the lead from post 12, opened up a long early lead, and held second. He’s the main speed of this field, but his late pace figures aren’t that strong, suggesting that if he gets a lot of pace pressure, he’s vulnerable. Still, you can’t discount the possibility he’ll sneak away. #7 Beyond the Pale (8-1) makes his first start since late November for Danielle Hodson, and gets some class relief after facing better rivals towards the end of last year. His running style is a bit inconsistent, but he’s capable of showing early speed and making things interesting for Brady Bear.

Caitlin Tan wanted to breed her childhood horse, JP, because she’s been “amazing” — the type of animal any equestrian would be lucky to have once in a lifetime. Having access to coveted bloodlines increased the allure. Via the Miller Ranch, she could pair her 18-year-old mare with a stud descendent of Playboy’s Buck Fever.

(MA) Meet Winks, an adorable and incredibly strong puppy with a heartbreaking origin. Winks was found unmoving on the side of a road with severe injuries. He had several very infected wounds and was barely holding on when his rescuers rushed him to the vet. Once there, x-rays revealed the horrifying truth that Winks had been shot numerous times around his face and neck. These injuries resulted in him having his eye removed. Despite that, Winks has made a miraculous and full recovery. He certainly does not let his handicap slow him down at his new foster home. Winks was truly given a second chance at life, and now all he needs is a family to call his own.
