Welcome to Colonial Downs and the sixth running of the Grade III All Along BC Stakes. Last years winner came from the barn of Bush Wackers Of Ohio, as the owner sent out Copperhead Rescue to a three quarter of a length victory. On Saturday there will be a field of six going to the post in hopes of adding a Graded Stakes Victory to their resume. Lets now take a look at the starters.

# 1 Toxicity ~ Comes into Saturday off of being crushed in her last start. Beaten by 21 lengths in the Grade III Violet Stakes at Monmouth will try her luck again here on Saturday in the All Along BC Stakes. A winner in 10 starts out of 23 tries will have to better in her second time out for new owner Chill King Stables if she wants to knock of these. She will go to the gate with jockey G. Delgado aboard.

# 2 Fusionz ~ A pair of second place heart breaks in her last two trips out will hope for a turn around on Saturday. Second by a head and neck coming in against oclm company will now look to bring her A game for this one. The last time she ran against Stakes Company was at Saratoga last summer when she finished fifth in the Grade II Lake Placid. She also has been the beaten favorite in her three previous starts out. Maybe if the sod comes up a little soft it might be to her liking. She goes out for owner and breeder Eastern Equine and jockey C. Fraser gets the call.

# 3 Gester G ~ An impressive victory in her last start when cruising to victory against Allowance Company by 5 lengths will try making it two in a row on Saturday. In her last Graded Stakes start which came in the Grade III Orchid at Gulfstream Park she finished last of five at a mile and a half on the sod. A mile and an eighth might suite her well and having three wins on the sod out of seven tries will look to close in on them on Saturday. She goes out for owner and breeder Hunterman Stables and H. Karamanos gets the leg up.

# 4 Grand Flyer ~ A pair of second place finishes in her last two against Stakes Company will look to get there in this start. A headbob behind in the Grade III Gallorette Handicap at Pimlico will get another crack at Stakes Company here on Saturday. She has finished all eight of her start in the money and looks to do so once again. She goes out for owner and breeder Downwind Stables and goes out to the track with jockey J. Stein in the irons.

# 5 Le Freak ~ Moves back to the sod on Saturday after her third place finish in the Grade III AP Matron. In her other recent start against Stakes Company she finished fourth in the Grade III Bewitch at Keenland. She now gets a third crack in a row at Grade III Company and has won 5 times in 12 starts on the sod. She goes out for owner and breeder Alydar Stables and jockey Ramon Dominguez gives up a days work at Belmont Park for this ride.

# 6 Tropical Thunder ~ This 5yo mare comes into Saturday looking to grab a Grade III victory on the sod. She has raced only once in 18 career starts on the sod and that came in the Grade I Yellow Ribbon at Hollywood Park last year. She has faced some tough customers in the past all coming on the dirt and has only collected one victory in eight starts of late. She may have the class to get bye these on Saturday. She goes out for owner and breeder Raginbull and Hall of Fame jockey Mike Smith gives up his day out west to come here to ride the 5yo mare.

Good Luck to All!

This is Choppy I am OUT!
