Chad Brown Loaded With Five Starters in $200,000 National Racing Museum Hall of Fame Stakes

Chad Brown is scheduled to saddle five horses in the race and his contingent includes Night Prowler, the morning line favorite at 3-1 odds. A gelded son of Giant’s Causeway, he has been on the board in six of his seven starts and is a three-time winner. A two-time graded stakes winner, he was last seen finishing second in the Penn Mile (G3) in May and has been training steadily since then. Javier Castellano will be aboard and they will break from post four.

World Approval going for second graded stakes win

Second choice at 4-1 on the morning line is World Approval for trainer Mark Casse. A gelded son of Northern Afleet, he is a homebred for Live Oak Plantation and has won three of his seven starts. He earned the first graded stakes victory of his career last time out in the American Derby (G3) at Arlington Park. Jose Lezcano will be aboard and they will break from the rail.

Well-bred Courtier returning off of the bench

Also in the field at morning line odds of 15-1 is Courtier for trainer Bill Mott. A homebred son of Pioneerof the Nile owned by Juddmonte Farms, he has two wins from five starts and will be making his graded stakes debut. Last time out, he stepped up to stakes competition after an allowance win and finished second in the Kitten’s Joy Stakes. Joel Rosario will be aboard from post eleven.
