Bensalem, PA (Sports Network) – Micromanage, third in the Haskell, heads a field of 10 3-year-olds for Labor Day’s running of the $350,000 Smarty Jones Stakes at Parx Racing. The mile and 70 yard event is a prep for the track’s Pennsylvania Derby on Saturday, Sept. 21.<\/p>\n
Trained by Todd Pletcher, Micromanage is listed at 7-2 in the morning-line and will start from post 5 with Joe Bravo again in the saddle.<\/p>\n

He has won three of seven career starts and $276,200.<\/p>\n
The 5-2 program favorite for Monday is trainer Mark Casse’s Uncaptured. Owned by John Oxley, the colt will be ridden by his regular jockey Miguel Mena from the far outside post.<\/p>\n
Uncaptured, winner of seven of 12 lifetime starts, is coming off a win in the Prince of Wales Stakes at Fort Erie on July 30. The stakes is the second jewel in Canada’s Triple Crown.<\/p>\n
