Super Seven In Supertoy7

Super Seven In Supertoy7

Minnesota – I arrived in cold and rainy Minnesota to cover the Get Well Soon Supertoy7 Stakes and found that Supertoy7 is no longer sick and this isn’t even a graded race but just one with a large purse of $125,000.  I must have looked at the purse and automatically listed it under the 100 credit races.  Anyway, it’s not, but as long as I am here we’ll take a look at the field of seven three year-olds that will try the nine furlong race over a turf course declared to be yielding.

On the inside will be Justa Pretty Face (3/1) a 3 YO son of Came Home.  Conditioned by Bad, this dark bay colt is 7/8 in the money on the turf with two wins.  His last win came over a turf course declared as ‘good’ and while he has not won as a 3 YO, he has been knocking on the door.  He likes the soft going, can handle the distance and maybe Saturday will be ‘his’ day.

Milwauke Brewector (5/1) sounds like he got his name from a name generator.  The bright bay colt is by Milwaukee Brew and is owned and trained by Phillipp.  All three of his wins have come on the grass and within his last four races.  His trainer seems very adept at finding soft spots for his horses and this colt is no exception.  He beat four others in a track restricted allowance his last out, but is another that likes the softer going and may do well on Saturday.

Post three will hold Wings Four Wheels (7/2) and he is a 3 YO chestnut son of Domedriver.  Trained by Dundey7 he has only won one of 10 starts.  He looks like he would prefer shorter as while he has been in contention the early part of his recent races he tends to weaken.  His only win was on an off track.

Comet (7/2) drew post four and is trained by former (and I wish he would return) BTB writer Kevoman.  He has three wins from seven turf starts and was a winner at the distance in the Our Wheels Challenge over a soft track.  He was also a closing third last time out in the Zero Louis and the bright bay colt looks like the one to beat.

Breaking from post five will be Skyline High (8/1), the only filly in the race.  She is by King’s Best and is trained by Goody2 but that may not be enough to bring her home on top.  She comes in off a win at 8 1/2 furlongs and should be able to manage the extra half furlong easily.  She won that race over a soft track in an allowance 1X.

 A dark bay by Spinning World, Sim Spinning (6/1) will be in post six and is trained by Wistful.  Sim Spinning has won two of his last three and has three wins from his seven turf starts.  He has never run on an off track but won the Bert Plus Flag at the distance.

On the outside is Best Of Me (9/2) a 3 YO son of Best Of The Bests.  Lightly raced, he has only a maiden win from three turf starts.  He did that win easily, with an 84 speed figure which should put him right in the hunt.  Although trained by top trainer Roberto, he did not run very well in his only off track start and that might get him beat on Saturday.

The turf condition might be the deciding factor for this field with four of the horses undefeated over the softer going.  One has won 50% of his races over a less than firm track, one has earned some money and one has never started over an off track.  It should prove interesting.
