AN URBAN LEGEND

martialis

B Ironside

6/1

Very consistent 5yo out of a ”F” rated mare that is available to all.  The mare has 5 progeny and 3 of them are at least stakes winners, with 2 being graded placed.  “Legend” is sired by Machiavellian and sports a 62% ITM lifetime with seven W’s.  Horse is coming off a very exciting come from behind win in last stakes outing.  Has won twice at the distance and loves the off going.  At a juicy 6/1 how is one to ignore?  Ironside has the mount….contender.

THE GIANT’S GONE(IRE)

I Wimpy

7/2

A beautifully bred scratch bred by Giant’s Causeway.  Trainer must regret not running this colt on grass sooner.. Not a knock, mind you, because the colt fired for a win in his 3^rd start on the brown stuff and at classic distance.  Toward the end of his 3yo season he got a start on grass and knocked off three W’s in a row.  Now a 4yo the colt is competitive in graded company and running 100+ SP’s.  In his last win he blew the field away in a dazzling 113 at 11 panels!!  10-11f seems to be his best distance at the moment and last blowout race may have taken some of the zip out of him.  Stretching out to a distance unfamiliar to him leaves questions.  We would have to guess that he will handle the course as colt does well on the off going.  This event will answer the questions.

14/1

One of a few speed horses in this.  This 4yo is out of a “F” rated mare that split time on dirt and turf.  Former claimer/starter that ran at one time for a $2000 tag.  This former claimer is the kind that could win Tracy’s contest.  Getting back to the present event…colt will have to show a bit more to be competitive here.  At this level there are no prisoners taken.  Colt will have no quarter given for past performances.

13/1

4yo scratch bred by Dynaformer.  Bred to go hurdle distance, this colt could run forever.  Colt could run any of these into the ground at 3 miles, but alas, the sim doesn’t go that long.  If this event was 16 panels, he could pick up a possible win here.  First try at a stakes and deservingly so after 2 mile triumph in last.  Wish it was longer.

W Cisco

11/1

5yo machine going into his 48^th event.  Ran for a $15000 tag way back when, then got hot and racked off a series of wins and places at the end of his 3yo season and stayed steady at 4yo.  Won a G2 while on the hot streak.  At his best at 10-12f and now reaching the end of his career.  We feel sure the trainer would love to see this animal reach the $1 mil mark, but that would be a trying mark at this stage.  W&T has set in and he would have to somehow find a few short field stakes to get there.  One nice thing about this race is he has some speed.

8/1

Out of a “G” rated he/she mare, this 7yo has in our estimation, run way beyond what his breeding suggests.  BBR has given his trainer some very exciting moments as of late.  Although aged, the horse has not been run into the ground and credit to the trainer for picking some nice spots for him lately.  The old guy has some nice speed and rates well.  Won a 14f allowance event three back which got him on a roll.  Looks to still be in fine shape and should pick up a check here.

18/1

Out of a “G” rated mare; this 4yo colt ran for a tag at 3yo and was picked up by present connections.  Colt has given his best in allowance events and proven steady.  As the outsider in this he would really have to step up to be competitive.  Probably will press pace.  Hopefully his jock won’t abuse him if he can’t keep up.

MINE D’INVERNE

C Sanders

7/1

Lightly raced 5yo out of an “H” rated mare.  Horse has a G1 win at the distance in the early part of this year and has run well in others.  Last out was in the BB turf and he finished up the track.  Now back after a six week break, he looks to get back to winning ways.  He is one of the many in this that will be way off the pace.  Does he need this race or will he be ready to perform?  Our guess is, even if he isn’t ready, he will make a showing in this field.  His 6yo season should be a good one.

D Silver

3/1

Easily the class of this field.  Seven graded victories including the Sydney, Adelaide, and Irish Derby’s (all G1’s) as a 3yo.  Won the G2 Dawn to Dusk Cup back in July of this year.  He’s now coming off an easy win in PA at the distance.  Scratch bred sired by High Chaparral, he is rated 38^th at turf long.  Jock will probably position him some lengths back and make a move on the backside.  The pick in this. He’s also 2 for 2 on off tracks.

H Ross

5/1

No slouch here; this 5yo war horse is going into his 50^th race and still firing in graded events!  Out of a “G” rated he/she mare, this horse of steel just won’t quit.  He has three W’s at the distance, and is hot at the moment.  Jock Ross will hustle him out of the gate quickly and settle him very close to the pace.  We see him breaking away at the half way mark and pouring it on to outlast the late rush.  If not too spent, the field may not be up in time. Contender.

Got to love these long turf events.  Anyone viewing this race will know at the 7f mark who’s in and who’s out.  We like the #9 in this with the 1,10 as possibilities.
