Why Horse Should Win:
This two year old colt had been put out to pasture over the summer as he had not been doing too well on the track. Ripley Marsh brought up the idea of giving the colt over to Kimberly of KC Racing in hopes that she could do something with the colt.

Houdini is a wonder to work with and although he had been out of the game for a couple of months, this did not stop him from heavily dominating a field of higher ranked fillies in the End of Year Juvenile Turf Sprint. This colt is the Underdog of the year, the one who is unpredictable in his races and doesn't let an off season set him back.

This colt should win Best Grade Five because everyone needs an underdog to watch, a horse that they want to see move up in the ranks when all odds are against him.

Why Horse Should Win: Despite being a create amongst a huge class of well-bred horses, Arch didn't finish out of the money once in any of his thirteen starts. Though he only won two races, he finished second a whopping eight times - to be that close that many times shows that he is going to step up in a big way next year, and that this year will be a great stepping stone for that season. Though he only reached grade five, Arch was in no way an embarrassment for the stable - instead, he shows great promise for the future.
