Re*****on Park has an opportunity for a full-field of 12 in the $300,000 Springboard Mile for the second consecutive year. The top stakes race of the season for 2-year-olds drew a full gate this morning, featuring four stakes winners including morning-line favorite Spice Runner.

The winner of the Grade 3, $300,000 Iroquois Stakes at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Ky. in September, will leave from post-position seven in the field of 12. Owned by Winchell Thoroughbreds of Las Vegas, Nev. and trained by the all-time leading trainer by wins in North America, Steve Asmussen, Spice Runner is 3-1 in the morning-line odds. Stewart Elliott has been named to ride for the first time.

Spice Runner was seventh, beaten 15 lengths, in his last out, the Grade 2, $400,000 Kentucky Jockey Club Stakes at Churchill on Nov. 29. He will seek a cleaner trip in the Springboard where he is the top earner in the field with a bankroll of $316,426.

Trainer Mike Maker will send Arctic Beast to the Springboard from his Oaklawn Park-base in Arkansas. A New York-bred, Arctic Beast has won all three of his career attempts, including the $156,000 New York Breeders’ Futurity in his last start on Oct. 13 at Finger Lakes. The second-choice in the morning-line odds at 4-1, Arctic Beast will be ridden by Ricardo Santana, Jr. who has been up for his last two triumphs.

Artic Beast has the most wins in this Springboard Mile with three. He is second in earnings with $205,503.

Essential Time, winner of the $150,000 Clever Trevor Stakes on Sept. 28 at Re*****on Park will return to the main track after trying turf at 7-1/2 furlongs here on Nov. 6, finishing third. Trained by Danny Pish, Iram Diego will have the return mount at 6-1 odds.

Owner/trainer C.R. Trout has entered Oklahoma-bred Royalamerican for the Springboard. The gelding by Upstart is on a two-stakes winning streak after scoring the Oklahoma Classics Juvenile on Oct. 17 and the Don McNeill Stakes on Nov. 7, both events for Oklahoma-breds.

Royalamerican is one of just four in the Springboard who have won a race at one mile or more. Jockey David Cabrera will seek his third straight stakes on Royalamerican, who is 12-1 in the morning-line odds.
