Remsen Stakes Entries: Ten entered in nine-furlong Derby test

A field on ten two-year-old colts will get valuable experience around two turns when they head to post for the $250,000 Remsen Stakes (gr. II) on Saturday at Aqueduct, an early prep for the 2013 Kentucky Derby (gr. I) at Churchill Downs.

The morning line favorite at 2-1 is Delhomme, who broke his maiden last month at Belmont Park traversing a mile in 1:35.52. Trained by Todd Pletcher, the promising son of Dixie Union looks like a deserving favorite given the wide-open nature of this race.

Other contenders include Normandy Invasion, who broke his maiden here at Aqueduct by 9 1/4 lengths; Micromanage and Overanalyze, a promising pair owned by Mike Repole; and Vegas No Show, runner-up in the Nashua Stakes (gr. II) last time out.

Post Positions:
1 Vegas No Show
2 Irsaal
3 Micromanage *
4 Delhomme
5 Keep the Canoli
6 Indy's Illusion
7 Overanalyze *
8 Stormy Len
9 Quinzieme Monarque
10 Normandy Invasion
