Small field for the Grade II Dazzling Daisies Stakes
The Grade II Dazzling Daisies Stakes will be run Saturday afternoon with only six fillies going to post. The race will be run at six and a half furlongs over a fast dirt track with the winner getting her share of the $225,000 purse. With no horse really standing out from the rest, it will be interesting to see who will win.
In post one will be The Morning Sun(3/1) saddled by chill. She is a daughter of Seeking The Gold x True Faith by Danzig. This is the first foal to race out of the dam, who was 2 for 30 in her career. The morning Sun is already a stakes winner, winng The Camden’s Honour two races back. LTO she tried the G2 Stoker Handicap, finishing fifth. Speed figures continue to improve and R Simcox(15%) rides.
Breaking from post two, Cought You(3/1) entered in here by bautista. Sired by Malibu Moon x Peak Of Desire by Mr. Greeley. Cought You is the second foal to run from dam who was 5 for 44, three of those wins came in stakes run early in her career. LTO she won the Tralee Challenge, beating a field of ten by 1 1/4 lengths. Shares top speed fig of 80 LTO. Gets F Gossett(23%) up for this race.
In post three, Sisson’s Thief(5/2), wearing the colors of deathstar stables. Sired by Empire Maker x Car Thief by Cat Thief. She is the first foal to race out of a 12 for 58 dam. LTO she won the Billy Bowden Stakes by two lengths. Speed figures in the mid to high 70’s fit with this field. M Staples(20%) rides.
jdawg05 enters the maiden What What OK breaking from post four. Sired by Lion Heart x Well I’ll Be Damn by Not For Love. First foal out of 5 for 43 dam. Only two starts this year have been in stakes. Very speedy filly still in search for her maiden win. Cold jockey K Murano(2%) jumps up.
Post five, Endless Talk entered by rocking. Sired by Victory Speech x read The Captions by Capote. Dam was 1 for 21 at the track and this is also her first foal. Last two tries against stake caliber horses found her finishing second both times. In both of those races she was coming on at the end.Speed figs continue to improve. O Brim(8%) gets the call.
Breaking from the oputside is The Track Bias(GER), trained by jarrod. Sired by Lando(GER) x Greintin(GB). She broke her maiden on the turf after two tries on the dirt. LTO was beaten by 3/4 length in an allowance race. Two back she tried the G1 Fauster’s Juvenile Cup, finishing eleventh by ten lengths. B Jungnitsch(9%) up.
How I see the race being run
As the gates open Cought You, What What OK, and The Track Bias(GER) gun for the lead. Another length back to The Morning Sun and Sisson’s Thief, both content to sit off the pace. Endless Talk spots the field three lengths.
As the field goes into the far turn, the three front runners are still fighting it out for the lead. The Morning Sun and Sisson’s Thief are now two lengths back and further back the trailer Endless Talk.
Nearing the top of the stretch, Cought You and What What OK are still neck and neck with The Morning Sun and Sisson’s Theif closing into thier lead. The Track Bias(GER) is backpeddling being passed by Endless Talk on her outside.
In deep stretch, both of the pace setters are tiring badly as Sisson’s Thief charges past them with The Morning Sun close to her flank and out of the clouds is Endless Talk flying past them all!
