Seven NY-breds Line Up for Cab Calloway

The Cab Calloway division of the New York Stallion Series for 3-year-olds at one mile on the turf features a field of seven looking to bolster their resumes with a New York-bred stakes victory at the Spa on Monday.

Possessed, owned by Daniel Hayden in partnership with trainer Charlton Baker, enters off an off-the-turf victory in the NYSS Spectacular Bid on June 21 at Belmont Park. With three wins from nine career starts, the son of Posse will look to make his first start on the turf a successful one drawing outside post 7 with jockey Jose Ortiz aboard. 

Trainer John Toscano Jr. will enter Mark My Style for Bran Jam Stable. Since breaking his maiden on Aqueduct Racetrack's inner track in January, Mark My Style has picked up two victories from four starts on the turf. Last out, he won a New York-bred allowance race at seven furlongs on July 19 at Belmont. 

Drawing post 5, Mark My Style will be ridden by Javier Castellano.

Payment Terms enters the Cab Calloway to face winners for the first time after impressively winning his second start by 3 ¾ lengths. Trained by Gary Gullo for Alfred DiRico, the son of Freud picked up a field-high 76 Beyer Speed Figure on the turf for his maiden victory. 

Memories of Peter, trained by James Ryerson for owner Patricia Generazio, also enters the Cab Calloway off a maiden win. Going 1 1/16 miles at Belmont on a turf course listed as good, Memories of Peter went wire-to-wire, setting moderate fractions to secure a 1 ½-length victory. With one win from five lifetime starts, he retains Hall of Fame jockey John Velazquez, who has ridden him in his last three races.
 

Rounding out the field is Amazing Anne for trainer Tom Morley and Winter Park Partners, Ex Ex Ex for Gary Contessa, and Secured Position for Russell Cash.
