Three Work for American 'Cap

Oil Man worked on Cushion Track and Riviera Cocktail and Victory Pete drilled on turf Sunday for a probable meeting in the $150,000 Grade II American Handicap at 1 1/8 miles on grass on the Fourth of July.

Oil Man worked one mile in 1:38.80 for trainer John Sadler. The Irish-bred 4-year-old colt will be making his second start back following a six-month layoff. He won the Cinema Handicap on turf here last June.

Riviera Cocktail, unbeaten in three tries on this course, worked a bullet six furlongs for trainer Neil Drysdale in 1:14.40, the same time recorded by Victory Pete for conditioner Alexis Barba. Victory Pete, sidelined for more than a year, won on the turf here in 2009.

Joel Rosario has the call on Oil Man, while Tyler Baze will be up on Riviera Cocktail, and Alonso Quinonez will be on Victory Pete.

Other probable starters include Meteore (Rafael Bejarano) and Global Hunter. Hyades is possible.
