Multiple Grade 2 winner BANK AUDIT (Wild Rush) will square off over six
furlongs against seven female rivals in Friday’s $150,000 Honorable Miss H. (G2)
at Saratoga. Trained by Frank LaBoccetta Jr., the 120-pound highweight captured
the Genuine Risk H. (G2) two starts back and exits a runner-up finish in the
Vagrancy H. (G2). Ramon Dominguez rides.

Grade 3 heroine MOLTO VITA (Carson City) is a top contender for the 14th
running of the Honorable Miss. The Dallas Stewart-trained mare finished a close
second in May’s Humana Distaff H. (G1) and will break from the rail with Javier
Castellano. Three-time Grade 3 winner EBONY BREEZE (Belong to Me) is in the
field, and UMPATEEDLE (Suave Prospect) will enter off a stakes win at Delaware
Park.

The complete field, from inside out with jockeys and weights, is Molto Vita,
118; Bank Audit; Umpateedle, Calvin Potts, 115; Ebony Breeze, Jerry Bailey, 116;
FORTRESS HILL (Forest Wildcat), Gary Stevens, 113; STORM MINSTREL (Storm Cat),
Edgar Prado, 114; HIGH PEAKS (Peaks and Valleys), Norberto Arroyo Jr., 114; and
FOREST MUSIC (Unbridled’s Song), John Velazquez, 114.
