Easy pickins in North Dakota short field feature
Someone forgot to send out the party invitations, because what should be a competitive 6 furlong stakes for $70,000 over the lawn for 2yo fillies is strangely empty. The four fillies that did show up aren’t complaining, however. Let’s take a look at the field:

PP | Horse ID | Horse | Owner | Jockey | Odds | Comments |
1 | OCTA’ ORO | 2/1 | Two wins from six starts grace this filly’s record, and she most recently was nipped for the victory in a 6.5 furlong stakes over the lawn. Cuts back half a furlong, and will look to make all the pace today. Only knock is a 6% jock. | |||
2 | NO PACE TO CHASE | *Computer | 9/1 | Computer filly looks like she hated the turf last time out, won’t be a factor here. | ||
3 | SKIP THE CAT | 2/5 | Stakes winner will get a pace to run at, but whether she can get up to Octa’ Oro is questionable: she’s far from a sure thing at 2/1, but she is the most likely winner. | |||
4 | SILVER LIGHT | *Computer | 9/2 | Another computer filly who doesn’t look like she’ll fare well over the lawn. |
