Large, tough field of fillies to battle it out

Contested at a distance of 6 furlongs on the turf, this race is restricted to 3-year-old fillies and carries a purse of $1,000,000.


ATTENTIVE ATTACK(KY)
Residency: YOSS
Trainer: armadale
Odds: 17/1
Breeding: GHOSTZAPPER x MONTJEU (IRE) x A.P. INDY
This filly sports an excellent record of two wins and a second in three starts. Her speed figures have improved with each outing, peaking with a 98 in her last start. She cuts back in distance slightly and flashes speed from the gate, which can help her make it all the way to the wire in front.


WINEMA(KY)
Residency: Empire State Racing (ESR)
Trainer: italst3
Odds: 23/1
Breeding: INDIAN CHARLIE x GONE WEST x STORM CAT
Already a stakes winner, this versatile filly has scored six wins from her dozen starts. She can handle either dirt or turf at both sprint and route distances. She is another one who looks likely to break quickly and try to carry her speed to the finish. She has not sprinted since last year, but she has improved significantly with age.


HARRIMAN HIGHWAY(KY)
Residency: East-West Connection (EWC)
Trainer: chorwon
Odds: 19/1
Breeding: TIZNOW x ELUSIVE QUALITY x DIXIELAND BAND
This consistent filly is another speedster. She just missed taking a stakes sprint in her last start and has competed strongly in a number of recent allowance events. If she can make it to the front and control the pace, she has a legitimate shot at picking up a check.


SUMMER SIESTA(IRE)
Residency: Vermont
Trainer: brightvalr
Odds: 7/1
Breeding: RIP VAN WINKLE x UNBRIDLED’S SONG x STORM CAT
Tough and talented, this filly prefers to stalk the pace before taking over from her competition. She is a winner of her last two stakes sprinting events on the grass and has also compiled an admirable dirt record.


SOMMERGARTEN(KY)
Residency: City-Race Rhein-Main Turf Club
Trainer: jayjay08
Odds: 34/1
Breeding: ARCH x SEEKING THE GOLD x SEATTLE SLEW
This daughter of Arch is a winner of her last start, which was at 7 furlongs on the dirt. In her only two previous turf sprint stakes efforts, she finished a competitive second both times. She looks to light up the board here at a generous price.


MAKE IT RIGHT(KY)
Residency: BLAZING SADDLES
Trainer: mkbargain
Odds: 10/1
Breeding: MIDSHIPMAN x ELUSIVE QUALITY x SUMMER SQUALL
This highly regarded filly is familiar with the track, having raced here in her last start. That attempt was a strong second in the Sky Beauty Turf Filly Sprint. After setting the pace, MAKE IT RIGHT grudgingly gave way to lose by only 3/4 lengths. Earlier this season, she scored twice in turf sprint stakes and ran a 100 speed figure. She wants the lead quickly and usually gets it.


NEW YORK STRIP(KY)
Residency: Universal Racing Club
Trainer: siama
Odds: 17/1
Breeding: MEDAGLIA D’ORO x VINDICATION x NUREYEV
This filly loves turf sprints, where she is a perfect 4 for 4. Her only career losses came on the dirt and in a turf route. Although she has never run at this distance before, her midpack running style might benefit her in a race that is full of speed.


RELEASE THE PEACE(KY)
Residency: Kentucky Horsemen
Trainer: cyberex
Odds: 10/1
Breeding: BIG BROWN x STORM CAT x RAHY
With seventeen starts to her credit, this daughter of Big Brown is the most experienced member of the field. She has competed exclusively in stakes company this year, which should benefit her. Already this year, she has won three turf sprint stakes and finished second in an additional four.


NAGGING CHOICE(AUS)
Residency: NWRC
Trainer: punter75
Odds: 10/1
Breeding: REDOUTE’S CHOICE (AUS) x SPEIGHTSTOWN x DANZIG
This very consistent filly enters the race off of a long winning streak that dates back to her first start of the year. After four straight allowance scores, she took three consecutive stakes events. Her speed figures are consistently good, and she owns an impressive win at today’s distance.


BROKEN HAND(KY)
Residency: MIDAS
Trainer: eminc2
Odds: 13/1
Breeding: ELUSIVE QUALITY x SEEKING THE GOLD x WILD AGAIN
This girl comes in with her own winning streak on the line, since she has not tasted defeat in her last three starts. She also boasts one of the highest speed figures in the field: a 101 in her last effort, which was a nice win.


SIX DEAD(IRE)
Residency: GR Simsters
Trainer: persuader
Odds: 5/1
Breeding: SEA THE STARS (IRE) x A.P. INDY x SHARPEN UP(GB)
Unlike most of the other entries in this race, this filly has specialized in routing. She owns the highest speed figure of the field: a 106 over a mile on turf. In fact, her only sprint effort came in her first start (a maiden win). If SIX DEAD can transfer her routing form to this sprint, she poses a major threat.


RUNNIN WILDE(KY)
Residency: TESTBARN
Trainer: newracing
Odds: 24/1
Breeding: STREET SENSE x AWESOME AGAIN x BUCKSPLASHER
Handy over both surfaces, this brown daughter of Street Sense is making her debut in a turf sprint. Her previous stakes win came in a dirt route in February. If the surface/distance combination clicks for her, she can contend.


FELINE FANATIC(KY)
Residency: Saltire
Trainer: juniorcoke
Odds: 55/1
Breeding: KITTEN’S JOY x STORM CAT x MR. PROSPECTOR
This roan filly is one of the few entries to own a win over the track, which can only help her chances. She also possesses a versatile running style that should enable her rider to place her exactly where he wants early in the running.


ROZELLE FULCRUM(AUS)
Residency: QUEENSLAND
Trainer: bjbandit
Odds: 12/1
Breeding: REDOUTE’S CHOICE (AUS) x DAYJUR x STORM CAT
With the third-ranked jockey at the track on board, this powerful filly looks to take her fourth career stakes win. She leads the field in earnings and looks ready to rebound off of her last race, where she put in an even effort against graded company.


CK NASCALL BAY(IRE)
Residency: Minnesota Downs
Trainer: docoz4
Odds: 9/1
Breeding: (ROCK OF GIBRALTAR (IRE) x RUBIANO x MR. PROSPECTOR
This filly has a lot of things in her favor: the services of the track’s top jockey, a win over the track at today’s distance, more career victories than any other horses in the field, and a 2 for 2 record at 6 furlongs. In fact, she has won seven of her last eight races.


LAUGH LAUGH(AUS)
Residency: DelPenn
Trainer: nathndtroi
Odds: 9/1
Breeding: NORTHERN METEOR (AUS) x DISTORTED HUMOR x DEPUTY MINISTER
The distance of 6 furlongs seems ideal for this filly; she has never lost in six attempts over that amount of ground. The second-ranked jockey at the track is aboard for the trip, which is very likely to come near the front of the field.


CHISTOSA(KY)
Residency: Hispano Parlante
Trainer: argentino8
Odds: 15/1
Breeding: CORINTHIAN x AWESOME AGAIN x EVENT OF THE YEAR
Clearly a horse who wants to sprint on the turf, this filly was available for a $75,000 claiming tag in January and a $100,000 tag in February. She won both races, was not claimed, and came back to win the Crystal Cave Turf Filly Memorial in her most recent start.
