EQUINICS – Race 11 – ETHERAL SPRINT
Grade 2 – Purse $30,000
Restricted to 3Year Old Fillies
7 furlongs on Turf

The eleventh race in this year’s EQUINICS takes place at Aquis Park in Bundall Australia. Thirteen impressive three year old fillies have made the journey here for The “ETHERAL SPRINT”, a seven furlong race on the turf featuring the best of the best from the residencies competing for GOLD in this year’s EQUINICS. Jockey tactics and racing luck will probably play an important role in determining the winner and at first glance it looks like this will be a close contest.

Here is a closer look at the field:

b sinstead                                           15/1

Representing the Florida Racing Club is this three year old scratch bred ROADSTER filly out of the Sim Mare NEOSHEO. She is making her eighth start of the year and her second Graded Stakes start with the other resulting in a thirteenth place finish at the ten and a half furlong “G3 Penelope Cruz”. She comes in off a fourth place finish at the seven furlong “Rum Glen Turf Filly Sprint” where she ran 92 speed and was beaten by more than four lengths by ZOE HART.  She should like the distance here and will be well positioned to pounce as they make the turn for home.

#5

n landrum                              7/1

Representing Orphan Racing is this three year old scratch bred WOOTON BASSETT ( x DEEP IMPACT x GALILEO) filly. Her last seven races have all been run at Graded Stakes and she has four wins in those. Last time out she topped one-hundred speed for the first time when she ran 104 at the seven furlong “G1 Crown Stakes” and beat HURRICANE MACHINE by less than a length. She comes in well rested and will look to run in the middle of the pack in the early going before kicking it into high gear as they come down the stretch. She should go off as one of the favorites and will garner lots of attention at the betting windows.

#11

c dolotina                                           6/1

Representing the Northwest Racing Circuit is this three year old scratch bred  GUN RUNNER (x A.P. INDY x KINGMAMBO) filly. She started the year at back to back Grade 3 races that reulted in a runner-up finish at the “G3 Davola Dane South” and  a ninth place finish at the “G3 Lady Bourbon”. She impressed with career best 104 speed last time out at a six and a half furlong Allowance race where she beat YEM by more than three lengths. If she can bring that speed again here she should be well positioned to find a spot on the board.

#13

k damo                                   10/1

Representing the Elite Racing Club is this three year old scratch bred ZOUSTAR filly out of the Sim Mare LETS KNOCK EM DOWN. She has finished in the money in seven of her eight starts including five wins. Two back she blazed 104 speed at the “G1 First Lady Sprint” and went to gate to wire and beat JUSTIFIED MURDER by a length and a quarter. Last time out she went to the front early at the “G1 Cremation Stakes” and held the lead for most of the race before dropping to second behind winner KUROHIGE.  She will look to get a great jump out of the gate and if she can bring the big speed here she might be hard to catch.

#7

r gibson                                  11/1   

Representing Down Under Racing is this three year old BLUE POINT filly out of the Sim Mare ANNA’S GOOD DOGGO. She makes her third straight Graded Stakes start here after running  96 speed two back at the six and a half furlong “G3 Senora Stakes” where she beat SUMMER TO FORGET by less than a length and career best 99 speed last time out at the “G1 Belle of the Turf” where she dropped to fourth against a field of fourteen. She will go seven furlongs for the first time as a three year old but I think the change my favor her running style as she likes to run near the back of the pack before kicking it into high gear as they come down the stretch.

#1
teodora                                    
erendirax barn                      
r gong                                     11/1

Representing the Latinos Del Mundo is this three year old I AM INVICIBLE filly out of the Sim Mare NO NAY HAACK. She is making her first Graded Stakes start here following a blistering 102 speed gate to wire win last time out at this same distance at the “Latinos Del Mundo Equinics Classification” where she beat BAILE EROTICO by just half a head. She will look to go to the front early and with that big speed she might just outrun this competitive field of thirteen.

#10
wodagal                     
drummond barn                               
m mason                                 7/1

Representing the Universal Racing Club is this three year old scratch bred WOOTON BASSETT (x DANSILI x GALILEO) filly. She started her career on a streak of three straight wins but had that come to an end in her second start of this year when she finished sixth at the seven furlong “G3 Darling Fred Stakes”. Since then she has rattled of two wins sandwiched around another sixth place finish at a Grade 3. Three back she ran 102 speed and won the “URC 1000 Guineas Stakes” and last time out she ran 100 speed at this distance at the “Elusive Rebel Turf Filly Dash” where she beat LINDA RONSTADT by less than a length. She tends to get off to slow starts and may need to change that tendency if she hopes to compete here.

#8

stormboot2 barn                              
m rafferty                              8/1

Representing Midas is this three year old DARK ANGEL filly out of the Sim Mare LAUREL HEIGHTS. She has finished in the money in all ten of her career starts including five wins. She comes in off back to back seven and a half furlong wins which came at the “Belongsinthesaddle Turf Filly Dash” and the “G3 We Are the Future Sprint” where she beat SOON BE HOME by a head.  She comes in well rested and should match up well with this group and should have a good chance of finding a spot on the board.

#6

m vinson                                        7/1

Representing the European Union Racing Organization is this three year old WOOTON BASSETT filly out of the Sim Mare VAADHOO. Our most experienced competitor has raced twelve times and has finished in the money in nine of her starts including five wins. She started the year HOT with a streak of three straight wins but had that come to an end last time out when she ran 100 speed and finished third at the “G1 Crown Stakes”. She came from way back in that start and may need to change her strategy here if she hopes to find a spot on the board.  

#2

m cameron                                         10/1

Representing the East-West Connection is this three year old HELLBENT filly out of the Sim Mare RACETRACK. His last three starts have all come at Grade 1 races and resulted in third place finishes at the “G1 Rose Petal Sprint” and “G1 Belle of the Turf” and a ninth place finish at the “G1 Crown Stakes”. He should like the distance here but will probably need a bit more speed if he hopes to take home a medal for his residency.

#12

s lee                                         10/1

Representing Empire State Racing is this three year old SNITZEL filly out of the Sim Mare EXCEEDINGLY WINDY. She will make her first Graded Stakes start here following three straight starts at Stakes Races that resulted in runner-up finishes at the “Blade Turf Filly Memorial” and “Pulpit City Turf Filly Challenge” and a sixth place finish at the “Kryszostoniak Turf Filly Route”. She topped 100 speed for the first time last time out and should benefit from a drop in distance here and should challenge for a spot on the board.

#3
NH Lac Bed

p rosportz                               17/1

Representing the British and European Racing Club is this three year old SIYOUNI filly out of the Sim Mare NH LAKE BED. She has finished in the money in four of her eleven races including two wins. She has failed to find a spot on the board in seven straight races and comes in off a seventh place finish at the “Devil’s Hill Turf Filly Sprint”. She will need a big bump in speed here if she hopes to compete with this group.

#4

r unoz                                     10/1

Representing The Mecca is this three year old MEHMAS filly out of the Sim Mare ONE OF ONE. She started her three year old campaign with a 100 speed win at a six furlong Allowance Race in Surrey and followed that up with a win at the six furlong “Pharhaz Ruckus Turf Filly Dash” where she beat RYZO LAPOR by more than a length. Last time out she made the jump to Grade 1 at the “G1 Belle of the Turf” and she impressed with a runner-up finish where she was beaten by half a length by DIAMOND SHOWERS. She likes to close late and with the extra distance here she may need to make her move earlier than usual if she hopes to find a spot on the board.
