Welcome to Mexico for the running of The Bargain Bowl Bargain Bred Series Bargain Classic Stakes A mile and three sixteenths Fast Dirt $500,000 All horses, 3 years old and up.

A field of 11 go to the wire here.

1 145287 SPARE KEY(FL) bursar V Dennis 7/2

Elenalag Stables trained 5yrold by FRENCH ENVOY x ROBIN DES PINS x KEY TO THE KINGDOM he has raced 31 times for 7 wins and $492,222

In earnings. He won this race last year with a 107sp so a chance of the repeat is on the cards. Last time out he won a Alw-35200NW1t over 9.5f in a 102sp. His other bargain results include a win in The DEATH VALLEY CLASSIC 8.5F he also ran 2^nd in the SUMMER CLASSIC 9f 104sp. In the right form to figure in this. Will get back in the field and storm home in the stretch.

2 154817 ITS OUT(PA) mjk07 R Albert 22/1

Shamrock Stables trained 4yrold by SORT IT OUT x NUCLEAR FREEZE x MEADOW MONSTER he has raced 20 times winning 5 of them and $158,022

In stakes had a great bargain season at 3yrs with a 2^nd in THE OZARK 8.5F and wins in The Bargain Derby 9.5f 85sp and The Bronx 11f 78sp neither in a real fast sp but if he can recapture that form might go close.

3 85315 QUART LOW(TX) sanatarium M Olsen 3/1

The favourite for this he is trained by Knightmare Stables and is a 5yrold by DESERT DARBY x SPEND A BUCK x KINGS LAKE he has raced 30 times winning 7 of them and $231,974 he has finished ^3rd in this race twice in the past and also has a 3^rd in The DEATH VALLEY CLASSIC and won the SUMMER CLASSIC in style 3 starts ago in a 107sp in his best form lately and will make this a very interesting finish. Should race with the leaders from this handy draw and will make his presence felt in the stretch.

4 45020 AMBER NET lgbost9y K Turley 12/1

Lgbost Stables trained 6yrold by EQUINOX x DEMALOOT DEMASHOOT x LUCKY RING(IRE) he has raced 37 times for 8 wins and $381,589 in stakes he won this race 3 years ago but all recent racing in claiming races so hard to get a line on how he will go here. And on recent racing may find this a little to short. If he ran up to that bargain win might surprise. He will get back in the running and look to finish the race off.

5 184706 BRILLIANT NOTATION(ARG) mtkelite P Elliott 26/1

Shamrock Stables trained 3yrold maiden by EDITOR’S NOTE x ACCELERATOR x DESERT WINE he has raced over long distances in all his racing runs on so that will help ran 3^rd in The Bronx but will need to improve to figure in this. Another backfield runner.

6 90594 HUSTLIN HOOSIER kk1039 J Lynch 17/1

Hoosier Empire trained 7yrold by FINDER’S GOLD x SLEW THE SURGEON x PROSPECTOR’S GOLD he has raced 69 times for 8 wins and has amassed $997,836 in earning he has been a top horse in his day but is starting to slow down a bit as he gets older won this race 4 and 5 years ago and has also won and been placed in open stakes racing even considering that it is a long time since he won anything of note and should be safely held here.

7 168022 PSYTEXX(KY) planobrgn D Zandofsky 13/1

Planoaxia Stables trained 3yrold colt by VALUE PLUS x TRACKER x CORMORANT he has raced 13 times for 2 wins and $93,035 lightly raced colt who has some good results in a short career earlier this year he won THE OZARK 8.5F 89sp and ran on for 4^th in The Bargain Derby 9.5f won a Alw-26000NW2L last time out over a mile 92sp always there or there abouts and should figure in it again.

8 164551 HUMILITY(AUS) foxon6 M Buck 9/2

Foxon Stables trained colt by HOST (CHI) x MANSHOOD(GB) x FUMO DI LONDRA(IRE) he has had 10 dirt starts for 5 wins and 5 2nds so on that score alone has to be hard to beat. He has only won $79,235 ran 110sp when winning Alw-26000NW1x over 8.5f two starts ago then ran 2^nd last time out in The WOODY FEATURE Stakes 9f 93sp a proven frontrunner who will be the hardest to beat here for one of the more astute trainers in the sim.

9 19742 VAINEST hawkz1 B York 5/1

Hawkz Racing Stables trained 6yrold by WEST CORK x HELLO GORGEOUS x VAIN (AUS) he has raced 45 times winning 13 of them and $116,897 in earnings unfortunately for his trainer he has shown little in bargain races and most of his wins are over more distance than this hope he can not sure he will.

10 173588 WOFTAM STAR(AUS) woftam4 Co Smith 28/1

Hawkz Woftam Racing trained 3yrold colt by KENDEL STAR (AUS) x LOMITAS(GB) x BUCKFINDER the lightest raced horse in the field who may be a bargain monster as he gets older he has had 7 starts for 2 wins and $64,064 his claim to fame is the great win in this years The Bronx Stakes over 11f 92sp an unknown quantity in this race will he upset again at odds.

11 144420 RUGS TO ROACHES(NY) jdtrot37 C Purvis 6/1

Jdtrot38 Stables trained 4yrold colt by A. P JET x RIZZI x HONOUR AND GLORY last but certainly not least he has raced 28 times for 8 wins and $277,660

In earnings he has run in many bargain races with great success at 3yrs he won THE OZARK 8.5f 86sp ran 2^nd The Bargain Derby 9.5f and 3^rd The Bronx Stakes over 11f this year he was a winner in the DEATH VALLEY CLASSIC 8.5f 100sp struggled when only 4^th in the SUMMER CLASSIC when 12L from the winner his trainer will be hoping for a return to form here at his favourite distance.
