Hello everyone and welcome to another week of racing in the sim.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>With the Triple Crown races well behind us, and the Equanics coming up on the sim world fast, there has been very few Graded stakes races over the past weeks.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Although there is very few of these, there is still a couple and I welcome everyone to New York<\/st1:State><\/st1:place> for the running of this years Grade II The Epicenter.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>This race will be running a mile and a quarter on the firm turf.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>This years field of six fillies and mares that are three years old or older will all be fighting for their piece of that 250,000 purse.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/SPAN><\/P>

1<\/B>.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Thebigm sends this California<\/st1:State> bred out with N. Lawton<\/st1:place> on her back.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>SJ\u2019s Carsonado <\/B>is a 2\/1 shot in today\u2019s race, and will be looking to get back to the winners circle in Graded company after faltering last time out in the Grade I Ugly Breeders Bowl Distaff.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>This girl has 25 races under her belt and has won over half of them with 13 wins.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>In those 25 races she has failed to hit the board just five times.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She has been on fire lately winning three out of her five races while placing second and fourth in the other two.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Her career best speed figure of 112 came in her first race of the year where she ran a 112 speed figure while winning a listed stakes.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She will be looking for her fifth graded win of her career today.<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

2<\/B>. Japanese bred Sin N\u2019 Grin, <\/B>a 5\/2 shot, will look to earn his owner testbarn5 some money in today\u2019s race.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>B. Child \u00a0<\/SPAN>will get the ride today on this girl.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Testbarn5 purchased this girl from fatattack2 back in 2011 and has had success with her ever since.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Since entering the testbarn stables this girl has four wins in fourteen races and has hit the board eight out of fourteen times.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Her last two races she has really come around winning both listed stakes races with speed figures of 111 and 107.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Her career best speed figure came with that 111 speed figure win two races back.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She is 15 of 23 for hitting the board in her career and looks to pickup win number nine today.\u00a0 <\/SPAN><\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

3<\/B>.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>The 4\/1 shot in today\u2019s race will Baby Beluga.\u00a0 <\/SPAN><\/B>Owner mickyb3 hopes that jockey P. Davis will ride this horse to the winners circle.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>This girl has had so much success with little wins to show for it.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>In her 22 career races, she has won just four times.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She has eight second place finishes though and two thirds and has hit the board in 14 of the 22 races.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She has really shown some life over the last three races where she even posted her career best speed figure of 108 two races back.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Her last win came three races back where she won an NW4L allowance with a speed figure of 101.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She then placed second in a listed stakes two races back with that 108 speed figure.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Her last race was a third place finish in a Grade III.<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

4<\/B>.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>The 7\/2 shot in today\u2019s race is a nice Kentucky<\/st1:place><\/st1:State> bred that looks to find a way back to the winners circle.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Owner bighoss will send out Pleanty O Heat<\/B>, to run in today\u2019s race.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>The jockey will be S. Steff.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>This five year old mare has had no trouble finding the winners circle in her 31 race career as she has won ten races.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She has also placed 2nd<\/SUP> ten times and third four times bringing her hit the board total to 24 out of 31 races.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She has not been up to form her last couple of races as she has faltered in two grade III attempts.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Her last win was in December of last year, and she has not hit the board since March of this year.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She has raced six times since February and owner bighoss hopes that she has not run out of gas and can pull a win out of this small Grade III field. <\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

5<\/B>.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>L. Israel will ride this 6\/1 shot into what he hopes will be her first ever graded win.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Owner willyam13 was impressed with The Bar Is Closed<\/B> last race, which bode her her highest career speed figure of a 106, where she finished 2nd<\/SUP> in a Grade III while running an speed figure of 106.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>This girl is very young for this field at four years old, but is also very inexperienced as she has just fourteen career races.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She has won five of those races and is 9 of 14 in hitting the board.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Her last win came back in November of last year where she won a listed stakes race.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She then took a two month break and came back to the track where she has posted speed figures of 92, 99, and 106.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She looks to continue to improve on those today\u00a0 <\/SPAN><\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

6<\/B>.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Winding down here we have Something Glorious <\/B>who is a 9\/1 shot.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Chloedawg4 looks for his horse to hopefully pick up a win as she will get jockey N. Painter for the ride.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>This five year old girl too has fourteen career races.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She has won four of those and placed second in four as well.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She is 9 of 14 in hitting the board.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She is fairly untested as she has just three stakes tries, all graded attempts, in her career.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>In those three tries she has placed 9th<\/SUP>, 4th<\/SUP>, and 6th<\/SUP> while running speed figures of 68, 103, and 97.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She began racing again in March after taking three months off from the 68 speed figure race where she finished 35 lengths behind.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She has also never tried the dirt in her career.<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>This looks to be a very good field of six runners.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>You have everything in this race from older experienced horses, to young guns who are just taking their first steps into the graded ranks.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>I think that this will be an entertaining race in which just about any of these horses can win.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>If it were up to me, I would probably have to go with the veteran Sin N\u2019 Grin.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>I want to thank you for reading this prerace article.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>This has been Dylan with your prerace write up.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Remember for all of your Sim race write ups head on over to the Black Type Bugler forum.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Now let the races begin, and good luck to all!!<\/SPAN><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
