2016 Black-Eyed Susan Stakes Race Preview at Pimlico

Land Over Sea 2-1 - Doug O'Neill trained filly will hit the track for the tenth time Friday off a good second in the Grade 1 Kentucky Oaks May 5. It followed a career defining 4 1/2 length win in the Grade 2 Fair Grounds Oaks March 26 and consecutive runner-up finishes - behind Songbird in the Grade 2 Santa Ysabel Stakes at Santa Anita March 5 and behind Songbird in the Grade 2 Las Virgenes Stakes February 6. She's also posted a seventh behind Songbird in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile October 31, another respectable second behind Songbird in the Grade 1 Chandelier Stakes at Santa Anita September 26 and a third behind Songbird yet again in the Grade 1 Del Mar Debutante September 5. Land Over Sea hasn't been worse than second in her last four starts against top quality fields. She departs from gate 3 with Mario Gutierrez aboard the morning line favorite.

Go Maggie Go 5-2 - lightly raced Dale Romans trained filly makes just her fourth career having posted two wins so far. Her first race produced and impressive2 1/4 length win at Gulfstream March 13 and her second was a nice upset score in the Grade 2 Gulfstream Park Oaks April 2. Last time out was a slightly disappointing, troubled fourth in the Grade 1 Kentucky Oaks May 6. Go Maggie Go looked had been very good in limited action before a slight stumble last time out and hopes to bounce back from post 5. Luis Saez gets the call.

Last time out was a respectable third in her graded stakes debut - the Grade 3 Beaumont Stakes at Keeneland April 17 which followed an Allowance Optional Claiming score at Tampa Bay March 13 and a maiden score at first asking in January. John Velazquez will try to guide her to his first stakes score in her first race beyond seven furlongs - from gate 10 Friday.

Dothraki Queen 15-1 - Kenneth McPeek trained filly placed in her first five career starts - two wins, a second and two third place finishes. She enters off an ugly eighth however in the Grade 3 Appalachian Stakes at Keeneland April 14. She won the Grade 2 Pocahontas Stakes at Churchill Downs in September and went on to a couple of good results - a second in the Grade 1 Darley Alcibiades Stakes in October and a third in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies. Two starts back was another decent result - a third in the Grade 2 Golden Rod Stakes November 28. Dothraki Queen has been decent so far and will be looking for a strong bounce with Julien Leparoux in the saddle from gate 2.

Midnight On Oconee 15-1 - has seven career starts for trainer Larry Jones with two wins and three second place finishes. She enters off a seventh after setting the p[ace and tiring in the Grade 2 Fair Grounds Oaks March 26 which followed a pair of respectable runner-up finishes - the Grade 2 Rachel Alexandra Stakes February 20 and the minor Silverbulletday Stakes January 16.

She makes her stakes debut Friday off an Allowance Optional Claiming score at Oaklawn Park April 14, a sixth in a similar race on that track March 11 and a maiden score at Fair Grounds in February.

A P Majestic 30-1 - Michael Trombetta trained filly has two wins, two seconds and a third place finish in seven career starts. She makes her graded stakes debut off a good win in her stakes debut - the minor $100,000 Weber City Miss Stakes at Laurel Park April 9 which followed off-the-board finishes in two Allowance races earlier this year. A P Majestic hadn't been all that impressive before last time out but hopes to build on a career-best effort from the rail Friday. Victor Carrasco rides.

She makes her stakes debut Friday having finally broken maiden April 24 after a third in a similar race at Laurel Park March 20 and a pair of off-the-board finishes in her first two career starts.
