Cherry Wine and Cupid -- those are the names best known among 12 entrants in the Indiana Derby on Saturday night at Indiana Grand, and they will be bet accordingly. Cupid burst onto the national scene by winning the Rebel Stakes in March and still carries expectations, even after two far-lesser performances. Cherry Wine placed in a classic race, finishing second in the Preakness, and would have run in the Kentucky Derby had he the qualifying points to make the field. His name has been bandied about racing circles for months.On their day, and with the right setup, either can win the Grade 2, $500,000 Indiana Derby. But neither has to. There are plenty of other ways to go, with less-exposed, lighter-raced horses like The Player and Takeittotheedge perhaps ready to step into the limelight.Everyone, in fact, will be under lights when the local derby is run at approximately 9:41 p.m. Eastern. The race is the last of six stakes, all worth at least $100,000, on what might be the best card ever assembled at Indiana Grand, and it ends an all-stakes pick four spanning races 6 through 9. The Grade 2, $200,000 Indiana Oaks goes as race 8 on a program that begins at 6:05 on what is forecast to be a beautiful evening.Key ContendersTakeittotheedge, by Broken VowLast 3 Beyers: 79-62-88The upset win choice brims with upside. He turned in one of the more impressive debuts of the Gulfstream winter meeting, winning a seven-furlong maiden race by almost eight lengths March 5 and coming home a strong final furlong.Trainer Dale Romans thought enough of the colt to run him right back in the Florida Derby about a month after his debut, but Takeittotheedge never had a chance, stumbling badly at the start.Surely needed his comeback run June 5, in which he finished third behind the well-regarded Forevamo. Should be sharpened up and positioned just off the speed Saturday.DRF Formulator shows Romans with a $2.18 return on investment from 265 starters over the last four years in two-turn graded-stakes races, and that does not include Court Visions 64-1 victory in the 2011 Breeders Cup Mile.The Player, by Street HeroLast 3 Beyers: 86-83-84Powerful-looking, late-developing colt makes his stakes and two-turn debut after two Churchill one-turn-mile wins.The timing of the race is kind of why we picked this out, trainer Buff Bradley said. He was a little tired after his second win, and this gave him five weeks. Also, we felt that since were going to be stretching him out, we didnt want to do the mile and an eighth yet, and the mile and a sixteenth looked attractive.The Player has shown good speed and looked slightly headstrong early in his last win. If hes too eager early, he risks a pace battle, at least with Cupid if not others.Cherry Wine, by Paddy OPradoLast 3 Beyers: 89-96-88While his one-paced seventh in the Belmont Stakes is forgivable, hell probably be overbet off his Preakness, a race in which he skipped over slop and got a great pace setup while still well beaten by the victorious Exaggerator. Cherry Wine has two wins from 10 starts and has never won a stakes.I really didnt think Id run him back this quick, Romans said. I was going to give him a little bit more time, but were right here at home in our backyard.One-run closer will need a solid pace and luck to get up at a short price.Cupid, by TapitLast 3 Beyers: 85-78-95Had a breathing problem -- for which he subsequently underwent a minor surgical procedure -- that led to his poor performance in the Arkansas Derby. But trainer Bob Baffert said Cupid got his air without issue last out and attributed another sub-par run in the Easy Goer at Belmont to the configuration of that race.He just didnt like the one turn, Baffert said. Things got away from him there.Seems certain to try for the lead from post 11 under Rafael Bejarano but might have to work to get it.Star Hill, by Elusive QualityLast 3 Beyers: 92-87-80All signs point to him being vastly better at one turn than around two, and he is marooned in post 12.

They lived on Gun Hill Road in the Bronx. Where could she find a place that taught such an upper-crust sport? Several years later, she saw a television commercial with a man fencing for the right to enter a taxi. The man with a sabre in his hand was Peter Westbrook.That moment came full circle Wednesday night in the Olympics, when Homer won silver in individual sabre. Its the first mens individual sabre medal for the United States since Westbrook won bronze in 1984.This has been a journey for 15 years, said Homer, who finished sixth in the 2012 Olympics. Im happy to be on the podium, happy to have competed, happy to have left it all out there. And happy that I had faith in my ability.Homers journey began at age 11, at the Peter Westbrook Foundation in New York City, which is dedicated to enriching the lives of youths from underserved communities. More than 4,000 participants have passed through the program since it was founded in 1991, 85 percent of them African-American or Latino.Homer and Westbrook are both African-American, and Westbrooks foundation has become a pipeline for black Olympic fencing talent. Westbrook himself competed in five Olympics. His program sent four black fencers to the 2004 Olympics. This year in Rio, black Westbrook alumni include Homer, Nzingha Prescod and Ibtihaj Muhammad, who competed for the U.S. wearing the hijab of her Muslim faith.Im always really happy to represent my community wherever I go, said Homer, 26. But I always tell people there are more black fencers than you think there are. There are more blacck fencers on the team [five of the 17 U.dddddddddddd.S. fencers are black] than people think there are, currently. So it is great to be able to represent my community, but this is a win for us; its a win for America.Homer is only the fourth American man to win an individual sabre Olympic medal, joining Westbrook, William Grebe (silver, 1904) and Albertson Van Zo Post (bronze, 1904).At a muscular 5-foot-8, Homer is small for a fencer but thrives on big stages. He has won several Pan American Games titles, and in 2015 he became the first American sabre fencer to medal at the world championships with a silver in Moscow.I love the pressure of it, I love being free, and I love putting all the marbles on the table and seeing whos gonna get em, said Homer, who is not lacking in confidence. Im an all-or-nothing dude.His profile has grown leading up to Rio, with appearances ranging from Vogue magazine to A$AP Fergs New Level video. But Homer struggled in competition after trying to tweak his technique after his silver at the 2015 worlds. I had to quiet my mind, stop thinking so much, trust the people around me, he said.One of those people was Westbrook. They spoke a half-dozen times per week as he trained for the Games.Take the pressure off, fence every touch and go for everything, Homer recalls Westbrook saying. Really enjoy yourself and have fun fencing. Sometimes the fun can get sucked out.I wouldnt have found an access point to fencing without Peter, Homer said, medal gleaming on his chest. So [without him], I probably wouldnt be here. ' ' '
