‘Limousine’ Ready to Roll into Parx

Limousine Liberal (Successful Appeal), second behind the sensational Runhappy (Super Saver) after chasing throughout in the GI NYRA.com King’s Bishop S. at Saratoga Aug. 29, is the one to beat in Saturday’s GIII Gallant Bob S. at Parx. The dark bay, favored at 5-2 on the morning-line, won his first two career starts in Kentucky, including a first-level allowance at Ellis Park July 18. The Katherine G. Ball colorbearer earned a gaudy 104 Beyer Speed Figure for his aforementioned effort at the Spa. Limousine Liberal tuned up for this with a best-of-16 four-furlong bullet in :47 at Keeneland Sept. 11.

Hebbronville (Majesticperfection), a perfect three-for-three over this course, enters in career form. He got up by a neck to secure Monmouth’s GIII Jersey Shore S. July 25, then added a local allowance by a nose over Bayerd (Speightstown) most recently Aug. 30. The $250,000 EASMAY graduate puts a three-race winning streak on the line here.

Catalina Red (Munnings), winner of Tampa’s Inaugural S. and Pasco S. last December, returned from the bench with a sharp tally versus Florida-breds in Gulfstream’s Jackson Bend S. most recently Aug. 8.

Grand Bili (City Zip) followed a sharp win in Gulfstream’s GIII Carry Back S. July 5 with a fifth-place finish in the King’s Bishop.
