Lady of Rome, Palatine, Exceptional Miss head solid field in Kentucky’s Skogbys Cats this weekend
This week’s Skogbys Cats stakes in Kentucky brings together a good variety of runners, including a couple of interesting longshots. Sounds like betting time to me! Lets give the field the ol’ once over, and see what we can shake out : Race ID:2573.0310 PP Horse ID Horse Owner Jockey Odds Comments 1 TESS(AUS) 10/1 2 PALATINE 7/1 Given a rest and came back with a dominating, front end performance in an allowance last time out. First stakes appearance for this deserving filly. A steal at 7/1 3 BECUNA(FR) 16/1 5 year old Dolphin Street mare can seemingly run any surface or distance well, but well won’t cut it against this tough field. Leave out of your wagering 4 QUEEN LIONHEART 8/1 Nice showings in each of her last four races imply she’s able. Stakes debut last out implies she’s classy enough to hit the board 5 MAJESTIC BARATHEA(IRE) 13/1 Started the year off right by posting her lifetime best speed #; showed poor form after that but her last implies she may be back. Another tri-buster. 6 EXCEPTIONAL MISS 9/2 Only recent clunker was against tougher. Likes to close and Palatine should ensure a pace. Must respect for the win. 7 SEQUINS IMAGE 20/1 Ambitious allowance placement against the boys saw this filly take a smacking last time, but previous race looks legit. More tri-fidder 8 HOPING THIS WORKS 5/1 Speed numbers in the past imply she could win, but recent form has been suspect. Backing up to 7.5 should help, but not enough to tackle the winner. Consider for second 9 O’BABY MINE AGAIN 5/1 Three recent graded runs exposed this filly as just a cut below the best in the game, but those horses aren’t here today. Can win this with some luck 10 LADY OF ROME(IRE) 5/1 Another horse who hooked the tough Delta Tau Chi G2 last out with O’Baby Mine Again. Another that fits like a glove here 11 PROVIDENCIA 9/1 3 year old filly hooking older horses for the first time. Will be a nice horse in time, but not against this field. Besides, I have to throw SOMEBODY else out.

The SKOGBYS CATS Stakes
Stakes
Seven and half furlongs
Fast Dirt
$95,000
Fillies and mares, 3 years old and up Popped huge 2 back but threw in another clunker last out. The fast surface may help, but backing up a half furlong won’t. Maybe in the tri.
