Orbolution makes stakes debut in P.G. Johnson
"We expect her to move forward off her last race, she was compromised last time ironically by her own horse [stablemate Bridaled Temper]," said Norm Casse, assistant and son of trainer Mark Casse. "If you watch the head-on, she pushed her out to the middle going into the turn. But she's come back and training really well. She's breezed awesome and she should be ready.
"We want to get a two-turn race, we feel she'd be much better going two turns," he added.
Life Time Citizen is the field's most experienced runner and the only one with stakes experience, coming off a fourth-place effort in the Bolton Landing on August 16. The Phil Serpe trainee, who started her career on dirt before breaking her maiden on turf, will break from post 4 with Irad Ortiz, Jr.
Mentality won her debut June 16 at Belmont and will look to go 2-for-2 for trainer Wesley Ward. A daughter of Freud, she will break from the rail with Ricardo Santana, Jr. in the irons.
