Fillies and mares, 3 years old
Stakes History: First year
The Steely for Raw Special offers the opportunity for three years old fillies to meet for a stakes event, without having to match up against older mares.
During her career, Steely for Raw won two stakes events, and was in the money in sixteen (10 stakes) of thirty-two starts.
As for the 2005 Field for The STEELY FOR RAW SPECIAL.:
PP1 | ROSE PARADE | Owner-jsg | Jockey-B Tate | Odds-9/2 |
Parade Ground x Red Ransom
A winner of two of 21starts, she will be stepping back to a mile distance, after tiring in a mile and one-quarter event the LTO. Owner-jsg is hoping to get back on a winning way, after going winless since late in 2004- when she won the Sound Sheryl Stakes at this distance.
PP2 | KELTIC KROSS | Owner-celticcros | Jockey-T Waddle | Odds14/1 |
Sadler’s Wells x Kris S.
Ownership is out to prove that her last outing (8 furlong win in
PP3 | KEPLER | Owner-marianus | Jockey-P Kerr | Odds-5/2 |
After blitzing the field at seven furlongs, this filly will try stretching it out a bit longer in this event. She has won at a mile, but never on dirt. Her switch to dirt has resulted in 2 wins and a second in three starts, so I see no reason for her hot streak to continue.
PP4 | FLEETING | Owner-dixiepride | Jockey-R Dunaway | Odds-5/2 |
Afleet x General Meeting
She faded badly in her last race against graded competition. Previous performances indicate that she has the talent to bounce back. She shares the morning line favorite role with KEPLER CARSON. Expect her to be pressing the leader(s) down the backstretch.
PP5 | WAR RITUAL | Owner-kyclocker2 | Jockey-D Rusch | Odds-7/2 |
War Chant x Sadler’s Wells
Brings a two race win streak into this event, and was impressive in her “pulling away” allowance win in her last try. Third choice in the morning line, but could be “there” at the wire.
PP6 | QUIRT’S HOPE | Owne-rquirt | Jockey-Ar Schultz | Odds-5/1 |
Pulpit x
If you discard a run at a mile and a half, this filly has shown steady progression. Won her last outing at one mile, and could be in-the money in this event.
PP7 | SHINKICKER(SAF) | Owner-galaxystar | Jockey-F Stroud | Odds-8/1 |
Horse Chestnut(SAF) x Cahill Road
The strength of this race can be best measured, when a nice filly like this one is at 8 to 1 in the morning line. She won at 7.5 furlongs in her last outing, and finished strong in that race. With no legitimate pace setter in the event, she may inherit the early lead, but will have plenty of company on the front end.
This race should be a highly competitive event, with several potential winners among the runners. Several of the runners have shown the desire to press the leaders, but with no obviously wanting the lead, anyone of the group of stalkers (QUIRT’S HOPE, SHINKICKER(SAF), FLEETING DIXIE, or ROSE PARADE) may become the pace setter. If a battle occurs on the front end, KEPLER CARSON, and KELTIC CROSS should benefit. Overall, the field of seven may stay closely packed, and this 8 furlong event, may turn into a sprint event to the wire.
Selection: KEPLER CARSON QUIRT’S HOPE FLEETING DIXIE
