WELCOME TO FINLAND FOR THE 2005 RUNNING OF THE GRADE III

“FINNISH LINE STAKES”. THE DISTANCE WILL BE SIX FURLONGS

ON THE FIRM TURF COURSE FOR A PURSE OF $125,000.

We have a field of eight 2yo colts primed and ready to thrill the large

crowd expected for Saturdays festivities. Below are our entries in post order.

FLEET OVERTURE – (swale007) (AFLEET x DANEHILL x NIGHT SHIFT)

We could be looking at one of gatecrashers in the race right here. Colt

won the “MAT JOKER” against a small field, but showed continuous

each start. This Afleet colt loves to be up close if not cutting the pace.

Trainer SWALE007 found the key since changing surfaces. 3 starts on the

grass with 2 wins and a place accumulating 55 grand in purse $$. Ranked

43rd overall and looks to continue up the 2yo-ranking ladder.

MY OWN TURBO(IRE) – (gael1)

(BEST OF THE BESTS (IRE) x GIANT’S CAUSEWAY (IRE) x LAST TYCOON(IRE))

Colt is coming of a impressive 2nd in the “DALESBACK CUP”-G3 against a

solid field of 10 other combatants. Trainer has this one close early all starts.

Jockey Tinsley will be sitting chilly in the irons looking over his shoulder ready

to unleash the “TURBO” and get the jump on his challengers. You have

to respect the brush move and the fact that owner GAEL1 has this horse

ready to go all starts will have accurate instructions for his steed.

KEPLER STORM – (marre) (STORM CAT x MR. PROSPECTOR x SEATTLE SLEW)

Here is the current season leader!! The “STORM” fired a solid effort in the

G2- “LITTLE ONES JUVENILE” beating a full field deep in the lane. 7 weeks

later Trainer MARRE stretches out to 7 furlongs finishing a tough 3rd against

a resistant “PUB CRAWL”, which looked he backed them down at the quarter

to weather the storm. Pace will be a factor this race, if it is false, the

StormCat colt will be coming quick and with authority! Add the “EX” factor

and is a recipe for success.

FANTASTIC MUSE – (borden) (FANTASTIC LIGHT x DANZIG x RAINBOW QUEST)

Breaks maiden in his debut. Winning impressively beating 9 other rivals going

the distance of 5.5 furlongs in a cool 1:04 4/5. What comes to light is the

speed rating of 78 for a first effort. Colt repelled his first challenger then

corralled the pace setters in the lane. Fantastic Light colt my get the

jump on competitors, as he may be the first to attack the pace.

CAUSE OF FACTS(IRE) – (wilco) 

(GIANT’S CAUSEWAY (IRE) x FUSAICHI PEGASUS x KNOWN FACT)

Began his career starting in the “PROSPECT FIRE Challenge” on the dirt.

Trainer WILCO changes up and attempts the turf for the second attempt

and scores a nice win cruising 6.5 furlongs in a respectable 1:18 3/5ths.

After watching his last race, You have to believe the FACTS, he has

wonderful upside potential.

WONDERBOY EDGE – (wonder5)

(SADLER’S WELLS x RAINBOW QUEST x NUREYEV)

2 for 2 lifetime. Graduates maiden, Steps through 1X, now goes for a Grade III

event trying the distance of 6 furlongs. Sadler’s Wells colt stalks the field

until an 1/8 of a mile to go and then unleashes a spirited stretch run. The

“WONDERBOY”  will be looking to crack into the rankings and make his

presence known.

FUZZY RAINBOW – (dundey7) (RAINBOW QUEST x STORM CAT x DARSHAAN(ENG))
What comes after storms? “RAINBOWS”!!!  Another well bred colt in the

race. Undefeated on the moss! Has the patented “wheels deals and goes

on bye” tactic. Every Jock has asked this horse to go, he gets down to

business. Patrons may see this one circle them all late for the top honors.

Trainer (dundey7) has a nice one here. We will be interested to see where

Jockey SU settles this one while waiting to explode.

VOSS HOLLANDIA – (hollandia4) (COZZENE x AKAABER x LION CAVERN)

I’ve you have been a Sims Owner for period of time, you will know that any

HOLLANDIA horse that goes to post can be tough as nails!  COZZENE colt may

break the hearts of some of the warriors who may take him on to early, thus

fading into the sunset. We have seen it time and time again, there is always

a potential board hitter that tears up your trifecta’s to confetti!

Press the “ALL” button!

What a tremendous tight field. Good Luck to all owners!

See you at the races.
