12 Girls Enter 1 Leaves Victorious
First of all I would like to apologise to the female members of this fine sim many who are friends of mine. Well they were before I wrote this article . Don’t know about you but there’s something fascinating about watching women fight be it on WWE or in a swimming pool full of jelly. In this race we have the royal rumble of female versus female competition as the girl representing DELPENN take on the KEENELAND girls where 12 girls enter only 1 girl leaves victorious. We are here for the DELPENN V KEENELAND Grade II A mile and one sixteenth Fast Dirt $250,000 Fillies and mares, 4 years old and up . Lets take a look at the combatants for this one. Let’s get ready to rumble.
1 81052 ARAWAZA lopickles J Caves 7/1
Representing Given Stables: Fire and Blood comes this A.P. INDY 5yrold mare she has been a model of consistency having won 7 and been placed on 10 occasions from 24 starts . She is one of those horses that seems to grow another leg at a certain distance and this is her pet distance 8.5f. She is from the stakes placed mare KAMIKAZE the dam also of stakes placed runner YAMAZAKURA(KY) . This mare has won in grade one company at this distance in the The JUJITSU Attack-G1 and was a fine close up 6th in the Orange Blossom-G1 last time out . A genuine graded performer she should be right in this. She should drop back to nidfield early and look to power home in the stretch.
2 31089 BUDA AT THE RODEO fiat R Zamora 9/1
Representing Topicount Stables and Delpenn this POSSE 5yrold mare is a top stakes performer who has won 9 races and her only 3 graded effort to date were a nice 4 ½ L 6th over this distance in the Sabian Handicap-G3 with a 105sp . And a 2nd and 4th in G11 company over 8f She should therefore have little trouble measuring up here. She has many 100+ sps to her credit and a strong maternal line to back her up stamina wise. She should race handy to leaders and try to slip clear early in the run home.
3 62249 GOLD LOOKING sdmf4 R Moffett 13/1
Representing Black Label Stables and Delpenn is this SEEKING THE GOLD 5yrold mare who to date has raced and performed admirably on turf is switching back to dirt here. She has won on the dirt in a limited amount of starts on that surface winning the DELPENN BREEDERS CUP DISTAFF st. over 9f . Still she may find this a little tough and a place chance may her best result here.
4 121761 BALANCE(KY) chloedawg M Hibby 12/1
Representing Right At Home Stables comes this stunner by THUNDER GULCH she is well named with a balanced pedigree and a balanced record. She has won 4 races to date. She was a great 3rd last time out in the Orange Blossom-G1 finishing ahead of a few of these and a repeat performance should see her go close again here at juicy odds She should race handy from this draw and take some catching if she gets the front early in the stretch.
5 111302 APACHE PRINCESS fatattack L Dorchak 7/1
Representing Lone Star Racing and Delpenn an A.P. INDY 5yrold mare trained by the master Texas ace she should be a big player in this race . 9 wins from 28 races and over $600,00 in stakes say she will. She has performed well at distances from 8- 16f making one of the more versatile mares in the Sim she seems to prefer distances more around this 8.5f and as a late closer will get well out of her ground early and look to dive bomb the leader deep into the stretch if she gets a clear run at them should go close to winning .
6 129624 BRADY WINS AGAIN(KY) spqr3rd J Joseph 11/1
Representing SPQR Stables is this 5 times winning mare a birthday present I believe from several GR Simsters. She is from the mare SAPPHIRE SEA dam also of stakes winner ZYMURGY . Its hard to get atrue line on her just yet in such a short career but she looks a mare on the improve and any thing she does here will only lead to better performances in the next year . She is a very speedy mare and pace of this race should not worry her.
7 116420 COLDSTONE(KY) lenny26 R Salo 13/1
Representing THE EVIL EMPIRE comes this mare by DIXIELAND BAND . Very consistent she has been in the money 15 times in 19 starts pointing to the possibility of another finish in the money. Has performed well in allowance and stakes company of late and if she handles the jump to graded company can be in this finish. In this field I think she will race in midfield and look to run home well.
8 5173 BLACK GOLD COAL jrogue3 D Balderas 5/1
Representing Jrogue Stables this fine SUMMER SQUALL 6yrold has been very lightly raced having only had 16 starts for 7 wins all at sprint distances she has been placed at classic distances but only in allowance company as the favourite she creates a quandary her class is beyond doubt but her record beyond 7.5f is unproven I would think some of the other trainers would fancy their chances of getting by her here. It will be worth watching this race to see if this bonny mare can carry the day. Her pattern of racing suggest the distance should be no problems we wait with baited breath to see how she goes.
9 110270 BUCKNAKEDFOUR buck17 J Gomez 9/1
Representing Buck17 Stables this classic bred mare GULCH x KINGMAMBO x SEATTLE SLEW she is sure to go on to be a broodmare of not she has a nice race record but in company far lesser than this so far she has raced on both surfaces at varying distances and its hard to say how she will fair here. Personally I think she will find these a bit to hard and stakes racing may be her better bet at the moment. She has a great name for a jello wrestler though.
10 125688 RED HOT AND ROCKIN(KY) hilary7170 P McGaunn 12/1
Representing Big Daddy Racing Stables this 4yrold mare has been racing lately in stakes races and has performed well her last start 3rd in the The MOTHER BOW Memorial-Stk over this journey with a 103sp honest mare who will be in the finish . Will sit behind pace and run on late.
11 125568 SAND IN DUBAI(KY) mp H Head 6/1
Representing Cleverdoc Stables a member of the famed Kentucky Horsemen this 4yrold SAARLAND mare has a fine record of 19 starts for 6 wins a brilliant win in the Dirtydirtydishragyou Stakes-G3 last time out with a 112sp points to this mare being the horse to beat here. This was not a one off and this mare is at a point where she looks to be improving rapidly. May well be the front runner and with her strength she should hold them all off . Strong 100+ sp performer on many occasions. The one to beat here.
12 75384 YOU THOUGHT WRONG super19 W Desantis 7/1
Representing More Evil Than The Evil Empire! and Delpenn this POINT GIVEN 5yrold gives the evil empire a strong hand in this feature 10 wins makes her a strong contender and a win over this journey in the Beer Pitcher Handicap-G2 in a 111sp show this race is well within her capabilities. A win last time out over 7f in a DELPENN V KEENLAND stakes race where she flashed home shows she is ready to fire here she is a strong quinella hope. L ook for her late in the stretch when some others are tiring.
