Hello everyone and welcome to Florida<\/st1:place><\/st1:State>, where the sun is shining and there isn\u2019t a cloud in the sky.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>It isn\u2019t the Daytona 500 everyone is waiting to watch though, in fact, it isn\u2019t the Orange Bowl, or anything to do with football, baseball, or soccer.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>It has to do with racing, and not auto racing, but horse racing. We have the Grade I The Princess Looney running today.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>These fillies and mares all three years old or older will be going six furlongs on the fast dirt, all fighting for the purse of a monster 500,000.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>So without futher ado, let\u2019s meet our seven ladies\u00a0 <\/SPAN>\u00a0\u00a0<\/SPAN><\/P>

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

1<\/B>.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Bogoesmrp, (Cat Thief X Mr. Prospector X Danzig)<\/B> will be out of gate 1 today coming in at odds of 5\/1.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Owner boble14 hopes that this six year old lady can earn her first ever career graded win in her first ever career graded attempt.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>There is nothing like shooting for the stars, taking a chance and being aggressive and that is exactly what boble14 has done here.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He may just be rewarded for that move though as this girl has been running her best races as of late.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>In three races this year, she has raced in two listed stakes and an allowance where she has posted two wins and a second two races back.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Here speed figures have been some of the best of her career and she will be looking to top her career best speed figure of 107 tied last time out.\u00a0\u00a0 <\/SPAN><\/P>

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

2<\/B>.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>I\u2019m A Zensation, (Zensational X Cat Thief X Seeking The Gold) <\/B>will come out of gate two at odds of 7\/1.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Owner trotter2 will throw this young girl, at age of 4, into the mix though she has proven she can beat the best.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She has failed to hit the board just four times in fifteen career races, and she will be looking for not only her second win in a row today, but also her second graded win as well.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She has turned it on the last four races where she has run speeds well over 100.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Three races back she ran fifth in her first ever career graded try.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>It was back to the allowance ranks two races back and she jumped at the opportunity and seized a win running a 102 speed figure and taking the field by 1 \u00bd lengths.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Her last race featured her best performance as she won a Grade II in star fashion coming back from 7th<\/SUP> place to take the field with a speed figure of 106.<\/P>

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

3<\/B>.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Up The Pop Charts, (Mineshaft X Fappiano X Deputy Minister) <\/B>is a 7\/1 shot in today\u2019s race.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Owner raynham sends this girl out to her first Grade I attempt after running two carrer best races back to back.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>After finally breaking out of her shell in her 5th<\/SUP> career start, it has been nothing but terrific runs for this girl.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Her last three races have all be in the stakes ranks where she finished third three races back in a listed stakes race and ran a speed figure of 101.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Her following race was a breakout race where she ran a career best speed figure of 110 to take a listed stakes field of eight by 1 \u00bc lengths for her first career stakes win.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Last time out this girl proved she belonged in the graded ranks as she ran second in a Grade II, running a speed figure of 104.<\/P>

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

4<\/B>.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>No Ordinary Tap (Tapit X Elusive Quality X Storm Cat)<\/B> is the second favorite in today\u2019s race coming into the race with odds of 4\/1.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>This four year old mare will attempt the graded ranks again after failing three races back in her first graded attempt.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Her career best speed figure came four races back as she finished second in a listed stakes field of 11 running a 110.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She then failed in her first graded attempt placing 9th<\/SUP> out of 13 horses and running a speed figure of 101.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Two races back saw the same No Ordinary Tap we have seen before as she ran another speed figure of 110 and placed second in a NW4Y allowance.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Her race last time out showed a pretty consistent speed figure of 107 as she placed 4th<\/SUP> in a near full field of 13 in a listed stakes event.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>\u00a0\u00a0<\/SPAN><\/P>

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

5<\/B>.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Flower Haack, (Fasliyve X Seattle<\/st1:place><\/st1:City> Slew X Blushing Groom)<\/B> is the co-second favorite in today\u2019s race also with odds of 4\/1.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>This six year old mare out of the xhaack stable is no stranger to the graded ranks as she has attempted the coveted graded races ten times.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>In those races she has one each of a first, second, and third.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Her lone graded win came way back in October of 2010 when she took the Grade III Dolly Prummond Stakes by 1 \u00be lengths and ran a career high speed figure of 112.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She has turned the heat back up in her last couple of races winning two allowance races in a row before running 5th<\/SUP> in a Grade II.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Her two wins posed speed figures of 103 and 107 before she fell to 102 last time out.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She will be looking to get back on the winning track today.<\/P>

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

6.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Despicable (Elusive Quality X A.P. Indy X Storm Cat) <\/B>is a four year old mare out of the cylla1111 stables.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She will be the co-favorite at 3\/1 and is currently recovering from the off race she had last time out.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>In 15 career lifetime races, this girl has failed to hit the board just two times, while winning 8 of 15 races.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She has four graded victories in her career, but has not tried the Grade I ranks yet.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Three races back she ran a 107 speed figure while finishing second in a grade three.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She then popped the cork off the bottle and busted out a career high 115 speed figure two races back winning a Grade II by 1 \u00be lengths.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Her last race is one where she just did not live up to the hype of the previous race and she faltered in a Grade II race finishing 7th<\/SUP> and running a 99 speed figure.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Her lowest since March of 2011.<\/P>

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

7.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Song of Speight (Speightstown X Unbridled\u2019s Song X Affirmed) <\/B>is the other co-favorite sitting at odds of 3\/1 as well.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>This five year old mare out of the mtkgrs stable will be looking to pick up her second graded win of the year and of her life after running a lifetime best speed figure last time out.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She made the jump back into the graded ranks four races back where she finished first in a Grade III while running a 109 speed figure.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>It was then two races, a Grade II and a Grade I, where she finished 3rd<\/SUP> and 5th<\/SUP> respectively and ran lower speed figures of 104 and 106.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She then dropped back into the listed stakes ranks last time out and tied a career high speed figure of 110 while taking the field by 1 1\/4th<\/SUP> lengths.\u00a0 <\/SPAN><\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>I think that this will be a great Grade I race on the Florida<\/st1:place><\/st1:State> card today.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Every horse has an opportunity and I think that just about every horse could take away the top prize of the 500,000 purse.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>It will be a toss up on who gets the win, but I think that when push comes to shove Despicable will pass Bogoesmrp in the stretch to win by less than a length.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>I want to thank you for reading this pre-race article and encourage you to head on over the the BTB forum, found on the forums page, for all of your sim racing news.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>I\u2019m Dylan and I want to thank you once again and say, good luck to all trainers!<\/SPAN><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
