Twenty fillies and mares To Compete in the 2025 Breeder’s Bowl Distaff

 A maximum field of twenty fillies and mares race for sim glory in the 2025 edition of the Breeders Bowl Distaff.  The crowded field includes last year’s Breeders Bowl Distaff winner She’s Dangerous.  Joining She’s Dangerous is the 2025 Bluegrass Oaks victor Just Seen Trouble.  Those two horses are the headliners but they will need to run their best to defeat the morning line favorite Oh My Soul. 

The race strategy will be key when size of the field is this large.  When there are that many horses in a race it can get crowded as the jockeys jostle for position.  However, three of the horses are sure to go for the lead.  A speed duel may develop between Downtown Indy, morning line favorite Oh My Soul, and Take the Cone Off.  As those three go for the lead there are many horses that will stay behind the leader, but not too far behind.  The late runners, including Iron Carbide, Code Runner, Candy on Ice, Deathly Ways, and Rachel Banks will need to navigate the crowded field to make their stretch run. 

Below is some more information, in post-position order, about the twenty runners in today’s race.

YOU GOT WRECKED

Owner: asrcurlin

Odds: 17-1

Jockey: A Craig

You Got Wrecked enters today’s Distaff after a second place finish in the Grade 1 Great Dame.  That race had fellow competitors in today’s race including the race winner Take the Cone Off.  You Got Wrecked stalked the pace in that race but did not have enough of a closing kick to get the victory.  As with many in today’s field, You Got Wrecked is a veteran of Grade 1 races, this will be her ninth try at getting a win at this level.  You Got Wrecked started 2025 with a win in the Grade 2 The Big Showdown at the Japan track on February 23.  Her next three tries were at the Grade 1 level with her best finish being second in the Steadhemp / Mike Phipps Handicap at 8.5 furlongs at NY on June 7.  She ran a career best speed figure of 112 in that race.  You Got Wrecked finished eleventh in the Grade 1 Go for the Gold Stakes.  In that race she lost to the winner, Downtown Indy, who is also running in today’s race.  Crossing the pond is Newmarket based jockey A Craig to ride You Got Wrecked.  A Craig rode You Got Wrecked to a second place finish, her best finish in the last four races, in the Grade 1 Steadhemp / Mike Phipps Handicap.

You Got Wrecked is from sim mare Tap Coder.  Tap Coder had a successful racing career in which she recorded a Grade 3 win and 1.7 million in earnings.  You Got Wrecked is her first offspring.  Her next daughter is Code Runner, who is also running in today’s race.  As can be guessed by owner asrcurlin’s name, You Got Wrecked’s sire is Curlin.  Curlin was the number one sire in the sim in 2023.

IRON CARBIDE

Owner: xpansion2

Odds: 12-1

Jockey: E Bernstein

Iron Carbide is trying to get her first win in Grade 1 competition for the third time in her career in today’s Distaff.  She won her last race by a convincing five lengths in the Grade 2 Glass Slipper Stakes.  That race saw her fall to the back of the pack before making her run in the stretch to win going away.  Her race prior to that, the Grade 3 Chicago Matron, saw her lose to today’s rival Ryans Ticket.  In that race Iron Carbide fell to last by fifteen lengths before making a big run in the stretch to just miss catching the winner.  She has put owner xpansion2 in the winners circle eight times in her nineteen race career.  Jockey E Bernstein gets the nod to ride Iron Carbide.

Sim mare Deep Carbon is Iron Carbide’s mom.  Deep Carbon was a multiple stakes winner during her racing career.  Iron Carbide is Deep Carbon’s only progeny.  Curlin is Iron Carbide’s sire.

SHE’S DANGEROUS

Owner: given5

Odds: 10-1

Jockey: Q Cassell

Owner given5 has charted the same path to this year’s Breeder’s Bowl Distaff for Hall of Famer She’s Dangerous.  The 2024 winner of the Breeder’s Bowl Distaff used the Grade 1 Bra Snap as her warmup to her victory in the 2024 race.  She finished fifth in the 2024 Bra Snap but finished a fast closing second in the 2025 edition of that race.  She’s Dangerous has a chance for revenge since 2025 Bra Snap winner Generationaldivide is also running in today’s Breeder’s Bowl race.  Jockey Q Cassell comes in from Dubai to ride.  He also rode She’s Dangerous in her last victory, the Steadhemp / Mike Phipps Handicap

Despite the setback in her last race (and a third place finish in the race before the Bra Snap) She’s Dangerous continues to pop with impressive speed figures and wins in 2025.  She has been somewhat lightly raced in 2025, this is just her sixth race this year.  She has won two of those races with a second and third also to her credit.  All tries in 2025 have been at the Grade 1 level. 

The four year old daughter of Curlin (full breeding line: CURLIN x DANZIG x MR. PROSPECTOR) was a scratch breeding.  After going through the maiden and allowance ranks as a two year old She’s Dangerous began her Grade 1 racing career with a win in the Iool Oaks and then she won the Bluegrass Oaks.  Today is her twelfth straight Grade 1 race as she looks for back to back Breeder’s Bowl Distaff victories.

INTO BOOKWORMS

Owner: herren

Odds: 49-1

Jockey: GD Mate

A racer of just nine career races, herren’s Into Bookworms enters the Breeder’s Bowl Distaff as a winner in four of those nine races.  That record includes two Grade 1 victories.  Her last win was in June with a late charging victory in the Grade 1 Sister Hen Stakes.  In that race one of her competitors today, Take the Cone Off, was engaged in a speed duel up front and couldn’t hold off Into Bookworms in the last few strides of the race.  Into Bookworms has had the most success by staying close to the pace and then making her run in the stretch. 

Three year old filly Into Bookworms has run in just four races in 2025.  They have all been Grade 1 races.  She has inconsistent results so far this year.  She has a win and a second place finish.  But she finished fifth and ninth in the other two 2025 races.  The ninth place finish was in her last race, the Birmingham Stakes.  She will be meeting several of her rivals from that race today.  The Birmingham was on August 9 which gives Into Bookworms some rest to prepare for today’s race.

Into Bookworms is a scratch breeding (INTO MISCHIEF x SMART STRIKE x NUREYEV). 

HIGH RAPIDS LADY

Owner: ddkstables12

Odds: 14-1

Jockey: K Ledwith

High Rapids Lady enters the Distaff still looking for her first Grade 1 victory.  Ddkstables12’s four year old grey filly has won her share of races.  She has eight wins in sixteen lifetime starts.  Her record consists of a six race winning streak that included wins at the Grade 3 and Grade 2 level.  The Grade 2 win in the Swift Kick Mile earlier this year included multiple Grade 2 winners.  In her last race, the Grade 1 Are We There Yet Mile, High Rapids Lady finished a fast closing second. 

Since her first race as a three year old High Rapids Lady has raced exclusively at one mile.  She has performed very well with high speed figures at that distance, but she has not run today’s distance of 9 furlongs yet in her career.  Her closing kick in her last race is encouraging but she will need that kick plus more to be victorious in this highly accomplished field.  K Ledwith gets the assignment, riding High Rapids Lady for the first time in her career.

High Rapids Lady is a scratch bred by owner ddkstables12 with the pedigree SPEIGHTSTOWN x UNBRIDLED’S SONG x A.P. INDY.  Speightstown has been a successful sire in the sim with over 100 graded stakes winners including 2020 Breeder’s Bowl sprint winner El Guru.

DOWNTOWN INDY

Owner: killerquad

Odds: 14-1

Jockey: J Wilson

Before her last race, the Grade 1 Great Dame, Downtown Indy was riding high on a three race winning streak.  The latest of those three wins was in the Grade 1 Go for the Gold Stakes.  But her last race resulted in a seventh place finish.  Her speed figure in that race was 106, which was much lower than the SPs she had been recording during her winning streak including an SP of 117.  Downtown Indy will look to go to the front, she was a wire to wire winner during her winning streak.  Owner killerquad will look to jockey J Wilson to get Downtown Indy out of the gate fast.  This is the first time for J Wilson to be riding Downtown Indy.

Downtown Indy is a scratch breeding (INTO MISCHIEF x A.P. INDY x STREET CRY). Into Mischief has the number one ranked 2025 crop and he was ranked number two in 2024.

GUIKAZE

Owner: givenspren

Odds: 45-1

Jockey: Z Edwards

A winner in five of her eleven career races, three year old filly Guikaze is looking to break a four race losing streak.  She last won in February of this year in the Grade 1 Vermont is 4 Lovers.  That win earned her a spot in the Bluegrass Oaks.   She finished fourth while running evenly throughout the race.  More recently she finished a disappointing twelfth in the Grade 1 Birmingham Stakes.  That finish prompted owner givenspren to try Grade 2 company in her latest race.  That race, the Cotton Handicap in Pennsylvania, resulted in a second place finish.  Guikaze figures to be among several other horses in this race that will stay close to the lead.  She will need to have closing kick that she hasn’t shown since her victory in the Vermont Is 4 Lovers.  Jockey Z Edwards is riding Guikaze for the first time and he will need to help her find that closing kick.

Tapikaze is the sim mare for Guikaze.  Graded placed in her racing career, Guikaze is the most successful of Tapikaze’s five progeny, though she does have two stakes winners and graded placed sim horses on her resume.  Popular sim sire Gun Runner is Guikaze’s sire. 

RYANS TICKETS

Owner: ozzy

Odds: 11-1

Jockey: E Sharp

Five year old mare Ryans Tickets is running her first Grade 1 event in the Breeder’s Bowl Distaff.  But she is coming into today with a two race winning streak.  In September she won the Grade 3 Chicago Matron Handicap.  Her most recent race is the Grade 2 King Classic that was run at the Norway track in October.  In the King Classic Ryans Tickets changed her racing style.  In past races she stayed close to the pace before making a move in the stretch.  However her last race saw her go to the front and then run away with a six-plus length victory.  Which racing style owner ozzy tells jockey E Sharp to employ could impact how today’s race is run.  E Sharp (also known as “F”) is riding Ryans Tickets for the first time.

Ryans Tickets’ dam is sim mare Cleopatra’s Gold (MEDAGLIA D’ORO x A.P. INDY x KRIS S).  Ryans Tickets was her first offspring and the most successful.  The other three progeny have recorded wins at the maiden and claiming levels of competition.  Ryans Ticket’s sire is Authentic.  Authentic is the sire to 18 graded winners in his sim sire career.

CODE RUNNER

Owner: asrblack

Odds: 60-1

Jockey: N Labreche

Three year old grey filly Code Runner takes on older horses for the first time in today’s Distaff.  Owner asrblack hopes his filly conquers another first (beating older horses) after capturing her first Grade 1 win last time out in the Birmingham Stakes.  Code Runner ran a career best speed figure of 110 in the Birmingham.  That speed figure easily beat her previous best SP of 101.  Code Runner likes to race from behind before rallying in the stretch.  With only nine career races Code Runner will need to exceed her previous efforts to gain a victory today.  Jockey N Labreche comes in from Italy to ride.  N Lebreche was the jockey in Code Runners victory at 16-1 in the Birmingham.  He hopes to repeat that success as Code Runner is a longshot again in today’s race, actually the longest shot in the race at 60-1.

Code Runner’s sim mare is Tap Coder.  Tap Coder was a Grade 3 winner during her racing career.  Tap Coder is also the dam to You Got Wrecked, who is also running in today’s Distaff.  Code Runner’s sire is Gun Runner.

OH MY SOUL

Owner: anastasia

Odds: 7-1

Jockey: B Ball

One of two six year olds in today’s race is Oh My Soul.  She is coming into the Distaff after running two of the best races of her career.  However, she has only raced twice in 2025 and both times in California.  The first time was in February where she finished second by a half-length in the Grade 1 Original Margarita Invitational.  That race was won by today’s rival Candy On Ice.  In typical style Oh My Soul went to the lead and led until very late in the stretch.  Candy On Ice made a strong run in the stretch to just get up for the victory.  But in her next race Oh My Soul could not be caught.  Run in July the Grade 1 Very Vane included several runners that will compete in the Distaff.  Oh My Soul once again got the lead and then cruised to a victory of over three lengths.  In that race she beat Sia Siberia (2nd) and Deathly Ways (3rd). She also ran a near career best speed figure of 116.  Jockey B Ball, coming in from China, once again rides Oh My Soul.

Oh My Soul also ran in the 2024 version of the Breeder’s Bowl Distaff.  In that race she jockey B Ball sent her to the front but could not hold off the late runners and finished ninth, though less than five lengths behind.  Before that race she was on a four race winning streak, including two Grade 1 wins.  One of those wins, in the Jockey Filly Cup, she was ridden by today’s rider B Ball.  Owner anastasia has morning line favorite Oh My Soul very well rested for her to try going for the lead and keeping it in the Distaff.

Oh My Soul is a scratch bred with the sim pedigree line of DISTORTED HUMOR x SAINT BALLADO x BROAD BRUSH.  Distorted Humor has not been a sim sire since 2021. 

JUST SEEN TROUBLE

Owner: thebigo3

Odds: 38-1

Jockey: W Kewmwa

A winner in six of nine career races, owner and breeder thebigo3 aspires the 2025 Bluegrass Oaks winner Just Seen Trouble to a win in another premier race in 2025.  She was won three of her last four races including last time out in the 11 furlong Grade 2 Soothing Mindset Stakes.  In that victory, Just Seen Trouble ran an impressive 109 speed figure.  In that race and as usual she ran close to the lead and took over in the stretch.  She has run in just two Grade 1 races in her career, the least of any of the other runners in today’s race.  Jockey W Kewmwa gets the mount.  Interestingly, W Kewmwa is the tenth different jockey to ride Just Seen Trouble in her ten career starts.

Just Seen Trouble is the daughter of sim mare Jersey to Tokyo.  Jersey to Tokyo is the dam to two sim horses, the first being Just Seen Trouble.  Her sire is Constitution.  Just Seen Trouble is one of Constitution’s top progeny.

CRYPTOXANTHIN

Owner: fastncanuck

Odds: 16-1

Jockey: Z Ayya

Cryptoxanthin began her Grade 1 journey in the March 2025.  At that time she ran in the Orange Blossom.  Using a come from behind strategy she finished fifth by almost five lengths.  But her next Grade 1 adventure was a win in the Taffy Mile.  In that race she stayed closer to the lead and pulled away in the stretch for three length victory.  The next four tries at Grade 1 competition did not go as well with her best finish being third in the Superfilly Handicap.  That race was won by today’s competitor Deathly Ways.  In addition the jockey for Cryptoxanthin in that race, Z Ayya, gets the mount again today.

Fastncanuck is both the owner and breeder of Cryptoxanthin.  She is from sim mare Goldenen Zitronen (MEDAGLIA D’ORO x LEMON DROP KID x BERNARDINI).  Graded placed in her racing career, she is the dam of two Grade 1 winners.  Cryptoxanthin’s sire is Constitution. 

SIA SIBERIA

Owner: beerkeg30

Odds: 13-1

Jockey: J Hornibrook

Sia Siberia comes into the Breeder’s Bowl Distaff as a winner in two of five races so far in 2025.  That record includes a win in her last race, the Grade 1 Three Smokestacks Stakes.  In that race Sia Siberia began her run at the race’s halfway point and then exploded entering the stretch to come away with a comfortable  one and three quarter length victory.  She has used that racing style throughout her career and is expected to stalk the pace in today’s race.  Jockey in her last three races, R Hansen, does not get the call again.  Instead, J Hornibrook will ride Sia Siberia.

Sia Siberia, a scratch bred (TAPIT x DEPUTY MINISTER x DANZIG) grey four year old filly, began her career running at the Ontario track for her first eight races.  She stayed in maiden and allowance company during her stint at Ontario and began her stakes career in the CPU carded Call Bloomin Stakes.  Though she didn’t win that race owner beerkeg 30 entered her in the Grade 1 No Rain. She won that race and then gave it a go in the Bluegrass Oaks.  Despite a ninth place finish Sia Siberia continued to compete in Grade 1 company (with one race at the Grade 2 level).  She didn’t win again until The Nutty Squirrel Stakes in April 2025.  She has been very consistent in her speed figures the last four races, with the SP being in the 111 to 113 range.

GENERATIONALDIVIDE

Owner: flightlineasr0

Odds: 15-1

Jockey: D Givins

In her four Grade 1 races, flightlinesasr0’s Generationaldivide has just one victory.  But that victory was in her last race, The Bra Snap on September 21 at this same California track.  That win came after a disappointing try on the turf in the Grade 1 Startup.  Generationaldivide finished thirteenth in that race showing that turf is not a preferred surface at the Grade 1 competition level.  Generationaldivide’s other win in 2025 was the Grade 2 The Golfer’s Wager.  In that race, as in her other races, the four year old filly raced just off the pace and finished strongly for the win.  She ran a career best speed figure of 115 in that race.  D Givins will ride Generationaldivide for the first time.

A daughter of Grade 1 winning sim mare Nitro Queen (DISTORTED HUMOR x SEATTLE SLEW x NIJINSKY 2ND), Generationaldivide is the only  Grade 1 winner of Nitro Queen’s three offspring.  But that is not a knock on Nitro Queen since her other daughter is Grade 2 winner Nitro War.  Generationaldivide’s sire is Flightline.  A sim sire since 2023 Generationaldivide is part of his first crop of sim racers. Flightline had a stunning 19 graded winners in that first group of offspring.

CANDY ON ICE

Owner: magical

Odds: 10-1

Jockey: F Gossett

Late running Candy on Ice enters this year’s Breeder’s Bowl Distaff as the winner of just one Grade 1 race in ten tries at this level.  Though her career record is eleven wins in 24 career races, that success hasn’t necessarily translated to the Grade 1 level.  Her lone Grade 1 win was in the Original Margarita Invitational in February 2025.  In that race Candy on Ice fell back over ten lengths before making a furious run in the stretch to make up eight lengths to win in the last few strides of the race.  That come from behind strategy is expected again.  Owner magical will trust California’s top jockey F Gossett to execute that plan. 

Sim mare Iced Doubleshot (GIANT’S CAUSEWAY x FORTY NINER x GRAUSTARK) is the dam of Candy on Ice.  She is the mom to six sim horses with Candy on Ice being the only stakes winner of the group.  Her sire is Candy Ride.  Candy Ride is the sire of many Grade 1 winners in the sim.

TAKE THE CONE OFF

Owner: givenhot2

Odds: 24-1

Jockey: O A Haack

Frontrunner Take the Cone Off comes into the Breeder’s Bowl Distaff fresh off her win in the Grade 1 Great Dame in New York on September 27.  In that race she stayed just off the pace, took the lead after about a half mile, and then coasted to victory.  That impressive win featured a career best speed figure of 115. 

This three year old grey filly has been in the money in all 13 of her 13 career starts, including seven wins.    Two of those wins were at the Grade 1 level.  Take the Cone Off started to take on Grade 1 company in 2025.  Her first try was in the Full Body Suit on March 7.  She won that race and it earned her a try in the Bluegrass Oaks.  She finished third by three and a quarter lengths in that race.  As  is her usual racing style she went right for the lead but could not stay in front as she began to tire entering the stretch.  Jockey O A Haack will be tasked with taking her to the front and keeping her there in today’s race.

Take the Cone Off was a scratch breeding (TAPIT x DEPUTY MINISTER x MR. PROSPECTOR).  Tapit has been a top ten sire since 2021 and continues to be one of the sim’s top sires in 2025.

DEATHLY WAYS

Owner: asrstar24

Odds: 18-1

Jockey: T Small

Owner asrstar24 has his four year old filly Deathly Ways joining the Distaff field on the high of winning her last race, the Grade 1 Superfilly Handicap.  That race marked Deathly Ways’ first Grade 1 victory.  In the race she stayed off the pace and caught one of today’s rivals and leader in the stretch Cryptoxanthin to get the victory by more than two lengths. 

Today’s race is the third career try in Grade 1 company for Deathly Ways.  Before the aforementioned victory in her last race Deathly Ways finished second in the Very Vane, a race that included Sia Siberia.  Before that she won the Grade 2 MD Distaff. Before those graded stakes tries Deathly Ways traveled in the allowance ranks company.  Eleven of her first career starts were against allowance company, a streak interrupted by a stakes try in which she finished sixth. 

Deathly Ways is a scratch bred with the sim sparkling pedigree of MEDAGLIA D’ORO x KINGMAMBO x SEATTLE SLEW.

RACHEL BANKS

Owner: lasthope

Odds: 15-1

Jockey: C Mecklenburg

Lasthope’s Rachel Banks won her first Grade 1 in her last race, the Jockey Filly Cup.  In that race she came from far off the pace, she was almost fifteen lengths back at one point, before making a furious run in the stretch to win by an expanding two lengths.  That race was Rachel Banks’ first Grade 1 win while doing it at 10-1 odds with a career best speed figure of 113.  She may need the race script to go her way due to her late running style but she is entering today in very good form.  Owner lasthope enters Rachel Banks in her third straight Grade 1 race and is ‘hoping’ that she is able to make it two in a row. 

Four year old Rachel Banks did not break her maiden until her three year old season.  Several races after the maiden win she tried graded company in the Grade 3 Oaks de Swedish.  That race was at 12 furlongs and resulted in a fourth place finish.  She didn’t try graded company again until the Grade 3 Bringing Up the Rear Classic in April of this year.  She won that race and sent her on a trajectory to try additional graded stakes.  Those tries culminated in the win in the Jockey Filly Cup and earned her a chance in the Breeder’s Bowl.  C Mecklenburg will ride Rachel Banks for the first time.

Rachel Banks is a scratch bred –  MEDAGLIA D’ORO x STREET CRY x DEPUTY MINISTER

WAHEENA

Owner: alibilane30

Odds: 13-1

Jockey: T Ace

Running as the pride of owner alibilane30’s single stable is five year old mare Waheena.  Waheena is trying Grade 1 competition for the fourth time in her career in the Breeder’s Bowl Distaff.  Her best result so far in a Grade 1 was a third place finish in her last race, the Three Smokestacks Stakes.  That race’s winner, Sia Serbia, is also racing in today’s BB Distaff.  In that race Waheena stayed close to the pace in second place but did not have a closing kick in the stretch.

Waheena’s last win was in the Grade 3 Cubic Zirconia Path Stakes at the Iowa track in April 2025.  Waheena also has a Grade 2 win to her credit, the Silent Treatment Stakes at Kentucky in October 2024.  Jockey T Ace will get the assignment on Waheena.  He rode Waheena one other time to an eighth place finish when she was a two year old.  That was Waheena’s second career race in the URC Breeders Championships – Juvenile Fillies stakes race.

Sim mare Waheeda is the dam to Waheena.  Waheeda was graded placed during her racing career.  Waheena is Waheeda’s only graded stakes winner.  Waheena’s sire is Creator.  Creator has two Grade 1 winners on his sim sire resume.

HOPKINSONS SISTER

Owner: hofcadet

Odds: 9-1

Jockey: A Jolly

Six year old Hopkinsoons Sister enters just her fourth race in 2025.  The veteran of 21 career races began her career as a three year old and registered a maiden win in her first race.  She began running in Grade 1 company in the Santa Marina Handicap in February 2023.  She won that race and has added three more Grade 1 wins (and a Grade 2 win) since the Santa Marina.  In 2025 she won the Grade 1 Swapsco Kitty Stakes, her only victory so far this year.  Hopkinsons Sister won at this distance and on this track in the Grade 1 Very Vane, run in July 2024.

Hopkinsons Sister’s running style is to go towards the front, and that will be the expected style for today’s race.  In last year’s Breeder’s Bowl Distaff she stayed in close second but faded in the stretch to finish seventh.  Jockey A Jolly will need to keep Hopkinsons Sister near the pace as usual while also reserving enough in the tank for a stretch run.  A Jolly was Hopkinsons Sister’s jockey in last years Breeders Bowl Distaff.

Hopkinsons Sister is from the Hall of Famer Union Jack Flyer (A.P. INDY x AWESOME AGAIN x STORM CAT).  Union Jack Flyer was the winner of the 2011 edition of the Breeder’s Bowl Distaff.  She is also mom to several graded stakes winners.  Hopkinsons Sister is the daughter of sire Medaglio D’oro.

Good racing to all the fillies and mares in today’s race.
