A total of 10 juveniles line up in this 'Win & You're In' event for the GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile to be staged at Del Mar seven weeks hence. Leading the fray is Magdalena Racing and Tommie Lewis' Ten City (Run Away and Hide). Breaking from the inside, the Ken McPeek trainee carries highwieght of 122lbs as the sole graded winner in the field. Victorious at first asking in a Keeneland maiden Apr. 19, he added a win going six furlongs in the GIII Bashford Manor S. at Churchill June 30. In his latest start, he finished third behind the talented Dak Attack (Ghostzapper) in the Ellis Park Juvenile Aug. 20 and looks to regain the winning thread while trying a route here. The well-regarded Hollywood Star ((Malibu Moon) certainly has the pedigree to be a good one. Out of Grade I winner Hollywood Story, the Albaugh Family runner came home a winner in his debut at Churchill Downs June 28 before finishing second in his stakes bow in the GII Saratoga Special Aug. 13. Trainer Mark Casse is represented by a pair of runners; Flameaway (Scat Daddy) and Mo Diddley (Uncle Mo). Likely the more fancied of the two, Flameaway comes into this off two wins, including the latest recorded in a muddy renewal of Saratoga's Skidmore S. Aug. 18. Offering the greater value, however, is Mo Diddley, who dueled early with favored Barry Lee (Violence) last time out in the Saratoga Special, resulting in both horses tiring badly late. Mo Diddley finished seventh, while Barry Lee, who came home a distant eighth that day, bounced back to take the Arlington Washington Futurity in his next outing.
