Small Field to Battle it Out in the Zinc Deputy(gb) Stakes
Only four have shown up to contest the Zinc Deputy(gb) Stakes, but it’s a Stakes race nonetheless. These marathon trips are usually decided by who has the most stamina, and that will surely be the case on Saturday. Only one entry routinely goes the distance, but you just never know what will happen until the race is run. Here are the entries…..

| PP | Horse ID | Horse | Owner | Jockey | Odds | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 7583 | BIG FARCOUGH HORSE | stalpipo | K Proehl | 5/2 | (Krisinsky x Devil’s Bag) This is just past the 16 time winner’s best distance, but as the only one with any proven marathon ability it’s her race to lose. She’s a front-runner, with the best jockey at the track, he should keep enough in reserve to hold off any late challengers. |
| 2 | 84130 | CAERLAWN | forli | G Scott | Even | (Kingmambo x Caerleon) Best speed figures in the field but doesn’t look like he can hang on past 9 furlongs. Only chance is to engage the #1 in a speed duel and wear her out. |
| 3 | 25303 | TEDS INNDAR(IRE) | refinement | V Rodenhauser | 7/5 | (Sinndar x Gone West) Closer has made up ground in her 8-9 furlong races, but 16 furlongs may be a different story. If the front-runners wear themselves out it’s her race for the taking. |
| 4 | 45748 | BAKED HAM | bigtate02 | V Writer | 13/1 | (Lion Cavern x Prized) A couple of levels below the rest of the field, and looks to have serious distance limitations. But hey, the worst she can do is fourth! |
