Chagall for Pride Group Independence Million

Though short of a run this season, Chagall has had a decent mock race a week ago, and is expected to win the feature event from Booster Shot, Alexandros and Kimiko, the last-named being the joker in the pack thanks to her eye-catching move on the opening day of the season

Though short of a run this season, Chagall has had a decent mock race a week ago, and is expected to win the feature event from Booster Shot, Alexandros and Kimiko, the last-named being the joker in the pack thanks to her eye-catching move on the opening day of the season.
