10-for-10 this year alone, Rapid Redux has been dominating his opponents liks few horses can. He has won his last four races by an average of nearly 7 1/2 lengths. The comments on the Equibase results charts for those same four races have read "won geared down,easily", "sharp pace,much best", "rail, ridden out", and "pace 2path, handily".
Tonight's race is a one-mile and seventy yards starter allowance race. Eight horses, including Rapid Redux, where entered, but three scratches have left the field with only five runners. Here are the entries:
| Post Position | Horse | Morning Line Odds |
| 1 | Darrell Van Horne | Scratched |
| 2 | Rascal Cat | 20-1 |
| 3 | No Brakes | 6-1 |
| 4 | Jake's Mission | Scratched |
| 5 | Grinnell | 8-1 |
| 6 | Rapid Redux | 4-5 |
| 7 | Gotta Believe Me | Scratched |
| 8 | Miles Heir | 6-1 |
Rapid Redux is not facing much. Rascal Cat and No Brakes ran eighth and ninth, respectively, in their last races. Grinnell is entering off of a win, but it was in a $10,000 claiming race at six furlongs. Miles Heir probably has the best chance at upsetting Rapid Redux, seeing that he won a mile and a sixteenth starter allowance race last time out, but I don't think that he is good enough to defeat Rapid Redux.
Should Rapid Redux win tonight, it will move him one victory closer to breaking the modern-day record for consecutive victories in North America, held by the mares Zenyatta and Pepper's Pride, each of whom won nineteen straight races. As long as Rapid Redux stays in form, I believe that he is capable of doing it.
Go Rapid Redux!
