OCEANPORT, N.J. – An inside post in a smaller field should enhance Howe Great’s chances on Sunday in the Grade 3, $100,000 Cliff Hanger Stakes on turf at Monmouth Park. The final major grass race of the meet drew seven runners for the 1 1/16-mile contest.
Howe Great figures to vie for the role of favorite with Summer Front, winner of the Grade 3 Miami Mile Handicap at Calder in his latest effort.
Hudson Steele, from the Todd Pletcher barn, also will garner support following his third-place finish in the Grade 3 Oceanport Stakes here last month.
