Will watch the North America Cup from the sidelines as he continues his Pace prep. Pelling: “I actually trained him [Wednesday] and he is really nice. He has gaps [between races] in his season, so I can keep on making him stronger. He’ll go next in the [June 24] Messenger Eliminations.”

Beach Glass($66,395 – 1:51) |
Y. Gingras, B. MacGrathSchooner II Stable |
Makes a bold debut in the Top 10 at No. 2 off a win in the second North America Cup Elimination. In the final, he’s drawn post 4 but he’s made just seven starts in his career. His trainer? unconcerned. MacGrath: “This horse wasn’t ready until June 15 of last year, so we had to wait on him. I’m going to go when the horse is ready. You have to let them come at their own speed. My horse could not be better than he is right now. He did everything we asked him to do.”

Sat a pocket to Beach Glass to finish a good – while unthreatening – second in his elim. He has post 2 in The Cup with a new pilot. Alagna: “Tetrick went with Mad Max [Hanover], so I put Andy [McCarthy] up because he raced him in the Breeders Crown. My horse was really good last week. We made a couple of adjustments, so, hopefully, he’ll be that much better.”

Night Hawk($125,056 – 1:48.4) |
D. Miller, B. BrownAcadia Farms Inc., Joe Sbrocco,In The Gym Partners,Leeman Lombardo Stable |
Finished second in his elim to Pace ineligible Pebble Beach in a solid try behind a horse who was awesome. He has post 7 in the Cup final. Brown: “He raced well but I would not call it great. I’m going to add a shadow roll because he was literally jumping shadows warming up, so I think he’s losing focus. I’m also going to add aluminum shoes so he gets a hold of the track better.”

T. Tetrick, J. LeamonMarvin J. Rounick |
Has drawn the dreaded 10-hole in the Cup after a third in his elim. Leamon: “I think we are going to have a good pace up front. Hopefully, we work out some kind of cover trip.”

D. Miller, J. HollowayVal D’Or Farms, Ted Gewertz |
Things did not go as hoped in his seasonal debut, finishing sixth in his Cup elim, failing to make the final. Holloway: “He was scrambling and did not seem to handle the track too well.” Entered to race Sunday at Vernon in NYSS action.

Nabbed the fifth and final spot in Elim 2 and will leave from the rail in the final. Twaddle: “The elim didn’t go the way we envisioned. He did not get a trip, so I was happy to make the final. He’s not what they are, so he’s going to need a trip and some luck.”

Greatest Ending($60,445 – 1:51.2) |
J. MacDonald, Dr. I. MooreReginald G. Petitpas |
Had to miss The Cup due to a problem the trainer preferred not to disclose. But The Pace is still on his dance card. Moore: “We are probably going to train him Friday or Saturday and qualify him Tuesday. That’s what we are hoping for.”

D. Dunn, N. TakterChuck Pompey, Edwin J. Gold,H And M Taylor Stable |
Turned for home in third, but wasn’t at his best through the stretch, finishing sixth, failing to make the Cup Final. Takter: “Unfortunately, some bad timing, as Market Based came up a little sick last week at Mohawk and was in the tougher of the two Cup Elims. He’ll go next Friday in the Messenger [Eliminations].”

Paced his final quarter in :26.1, but had too much to do, finishing 7th and did not make the final. Alagna: “He was too far back, so we decided to come home [and race Sunday at Vernon in sire stakes]. Hopefully, that’ll give him a nice start.”
