2012 Mr. Prospector Stakes Race Favorites
Action Andy - comes into the Mr. Prospector on a nice three race win streak including the Pelican Stakes by 2 1/4 lengths last time out December 8 at Tampa Bay over Indiano who is also in this race. Before the Pelican was a win in the Frank J De Francis at Laurel Park and a win in the Maryland Millions Sprint Handicap before that - it's safe to say that Action Andy is in some pretty good form. He has won seven times in 11 starts this year with a second and a third. He is the horse to beat.
Indiano - comes off a second most recently to Action Andy in the Pelican Stakes but has been in the money eight straight times. - 4 wins, two seconds and two thirds. Indiano has been in with some tough horses - he finished second in the Grade 2 Smile Sprint Handicap three back and was third in the last year's Mr. Prospector. He has only three starts this year with a win and two seconds but has to get over the Action Andy hump in this one.

Bull Dozer - is an interesting name to watch in the Mr. Prospector. He won last time out on this track at this distance December 7 by two lengths. He has won five of his last six races - none of the stakes variety but could surprise Saturday.

Partyallnightlong - has just one start this year - a win at the Dan Horn Stakes at Keeneland May 5. Before that you had to look back to July 31, 2011 to see when she last raced - a fifth in the Teddy Drones Stakes. When she races Partyallnightlong is good - that's when she races!
Off the Jak - has raced 11 times in 2012 with two wins, five seconds and a third place finish. Last time out was an OK second to Bernie the Maestro in the Starter Stakes here December 1. Before that was a disappointing eighth in the Jack Dudley after two Allowance Optional Claiming scores at Calder. He is just another dark horse in this race.
Dreaming of Neno - has only three career starts - two wins against lesser competition and a seventh in a race that Politicallycorrect won. Dreaming of Neno is an interesting long shot in the Mr. Prospector nonetheless.
