Carl Moore's Finley'sluckycharm (Twirling Candy), who captured her first Grade I win with a gritty score in the Apr. 7 GI Madison S. at Keeneland, is the 8-5 morning-line favorite in the GII Honorable Miss S., the Wednesday feature race at Saratoga. The 5-year-old mare will be looking to get back on track after tiring to fourth as the favorite in the May 5 GI Humana Distaff S. She was second, beaten just a neck, last year's Honorable Miss and is six-for-seven at the six-furlong distance.
Former claimer Kirby's Penny (Macho Uno), another 5-year-old mare, will be looking for back-to-back graded victories in the Honorable Miss. Trained by Wesley Ward for Kent Spellman, the dark bay is coming off a 1 1/2-length win in the May 12 GIII Vagrancy H. at Belmont Park. She is two-for-two at Saratoga, having won a starter allowance and allowance at the Spa last summer.
Lael Stables' Chalon (Dialed In), second behind Kirby's Penny in the 6 1/2-furlong Vagrancy, is coming off a four-length victory in the June 17 Regret S. at Monmouth Park.
