LEAVE THE LIGHT ON (Horse Greeley) hasn't been seen in the last 50 weeks or so, but was plenty flattered throughout 2015. The chestnut annexed this venue's GII Remsen S. in his third career start at the end of last November, defeating eventual GI Wood Memorial S. and GII Pennsyvania Derby winner and GI Belmont S. runner-up Frosted (Tapit) in the process. Third that day was none other than GI Travers S. upsetter Keen Ice (Curlin). TJCIS PPs

KISMET'S HEELS (Tapit) is one of two well-bred newcomers signed on here for trainer Todd Pletcher. The bay is out of SW and GSP West Coast Swing (West Coast Swing), who is herself a half to this year's brilliant 'TDN Rising Star' Speightster (Speightstown) out of an unraced half sister to Hall of Famer Dance Smartly from an extremely deep female family. The $370,000 KEESEP RNA blossomed into a $900,000 Fasig-Tipton Florida juvenile after a :10 2/5 breeze. Gimlet (Lemon Drop Kid), meanwhile, was a $115,000 KEESEP buy turned $160,000 OBSMAR juvenile after covering a furlong in :10 1/5. The full-brother to MGSW Aurelia's Belle hails from a highly coveted Alexander-Groves-Matz family that traces back to Courtly Dee. John Oxley and Mark Casse team up with fellow firster Conqueror (Malibu Moon), a $350,000 Fasig-Tipton Saratoga yearling out of Grade II winner Street Sounds (Street Cry {Ire}). TJCIS PPs
