WENDY J.C. BONANZA
HERE WE ARE ON A COOL SUNNY DAY IN THE BLUEGRASS STATE FOR THE RUNNING OF THE WENDY J.C. BONANZA. TWELVE WILL GO POSTWARD FOR THIS 7.5 FURLONG EVENT ON THE FIRM BLUEGRASS TURF. A POT OF $90,000 IS UP FOR GRABS FOR THESE 3YO’S AND UP FILLIES AND MARES. SIMOND’S 4YO FILLY ARKANSAW DIAMOND IS THE SLIGHT MORNING LINE FAVORITE AND HAS THE SERVICES OF ONE OF THE TOP JOCKS IN THE SIM IN GIVINS. |
1. GRAUSTURM a 6yo mare by STORM CAT and trained by chooke has a record of 17-5-5 from 47 lifetime starts and earnings of 1,852,190. A multiple Graded Stakes winning mare. Recently she has been having hard times against Conditioned Allowance runners. She did win two back against Conditioned Allowance Company going this distance. If this old gal decides to fire look out because she has the capability to blow this field away. |
2. TOMS KOOL KAMIKAZI a 4yo filly by MARKED TREE and trained by ts1442 has a record of 4-7-1 from 32 starts and earnings of 179,150. Six straight losses against Allowance Company doesn’t bold well for this one. She does possess some early speed but doesn’t look be around at the end. |
3. JUST ONE MORE TIME a 5yo mare by TIZNOW and trained by nwoprizes has a record of 6-3-6 from 40 starts and earnings of 117,415. Here is another that is over matched today. Her last win was against Starter Allowance Company. Her recent adventures against Stakes Competition is nothing to write home about. |
4. HOUSE IN THE SKY a 4yo filly by SKY MESA and trained by ekspect has a record of 4-7-2 from 24 starts and earnings of 134,900. Stakes placed this filly has a third and second place finish going a half furlong shorter than today. She will lay just off the leaders and could be tough down the lane. |
5. BUX NOELLE G a 4yo filly by CAT THIEF and trained by buxpasser has a record of 6-1-7 from 32 starts and earnings of 184,762. This little gal has only managed to win one race this year and that was back in week 2818 in the 7.5f HOPEFULLY BLOCK STAKES. Her last three races are rather unimpressive and she will need to find the fire she had back in week 2818. |
6. DIXIELAND LASS a 4yo filly by DIXIELAND BAND and trained by mistymorn has a record of 8-8-2 from 35 starts and earnings of 189,205. Here is yet another filly that has been struggling of late. You have to go back seven races to see where she won a STAKES. Her last four races have been really depressing for her trainer. |
7. POINT OUT(IRE) a 4yo filly by SINGSPIEL(IRE) and trained by tcrowell has a record of 5-2-3 from 24 starts and earnings of 133,760. This filly has one win this year out of seven races. Her last race was impressive when she finished 3rd with a 100 SP. If she can duplicate that race she should have something to say with the finish. |
8. ARKANSAW DIAMOND a 4yo filly by SEEKING THE GOLD and trained by simond has a record of 11-5-5 from 39 starts and earnings of 780,747. A G1 winner going 5.5f three back in the MAS TEQUILA. Her last two races however against non-graded company have been anything but impressive. Hopefully her trainer has found the key to this one and can make claim to why she is the #1 ranked filly in her division. |
9. BANDICOOT a 5yo mare by DIXIELAND BAND and trained by tejanorun2 has a record of 11-5-3 from 39 starts and earnings of 288,686. This gal is coming off a wire to wire victory in the HIS SWAMP(IRE) STAKES last out in which she beat ARKANSAW DIAMOND. Winner of three straight races going to the front and not looking back. Look for her to deploy her attack early and hard on the front end here today. |
10. WAKING UP TODAY a 4yo filly by WAKE AT NOON and trained by g1robbo has a record of 5-4-4 from 27 starts and earnings of 173,714. Winless this year you have to go back all the way to week 2678 to see where she found the winners circle against Allowance Company. Hopefully she will wake up today but I don’t see that happening. |
11. NIGHTHAWK LUST a 4yo filly by CRYPTOCLEARANCE and trained by 4nighthawk has a record of 16-7-3 from 38 starts and earnings of 655,239. Winner two back in the OMAHA PROSPECTOR STAKES going today’s distance. Only 5 of her 16 victories have come on the grass. Her tendencies are to run a couple good ones and throw some clunkers in between. Hopefully she’s not in the between stage. |
12. CHEROKEE KID a 5yo mare by LEMON DROP KID and trained by kevsfarms has a record of 10-10-10 from 50 starts and earnings of 558,256. Here is yet another that you have to go back along ways to see where she found the winners circle and that was a Conditioned Allowance race. |
This race is hard to get excited about. For a STAKES race here at KENTUCKY to come up this weak. MY PICKS THIS WEEK : 9-8-7 and GOOD LUCK TO ALL!!! |
