Leading the challenge against the 158<SUP>th<\/SUP> ranked Prabhu Deva , will be Trainer Tetsch\u2019s # 3 ranked Tom And Pap 7-1, Trainer Jetair\u2019s # 5 ranked Quality Buzz 6-1, Trainer Provolone\u2019s # 9 ranked Dancer Impactus 9-1 and Trainer Correction\u2019s # 25 ranked filly Mercato 9-1. All in all, 10 of the 16 starters are ranked in the top 105 in the 3 year old Filly Turf Route Division, guaranteeing that claiming the victory will certainly not be an easy \u201cwalk in the park\u201d for the favored filly. The Berkshire Turf Course is firm, well trimmed and playing fast, which should ensure a brisk, but honest pace in today\u2019s 9 furlong test.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = \"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office\" \/><o:p><\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P><P style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt\" class=MsoNormal><B style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal\"><SPAN style=\"FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'\"><o:p>\u00a0<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/B><\/P><P style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt\" class=MsoNormal><B style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal\"><SPAN style=\"FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'\"><o:p>\u00a0<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/B><\/P><P style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt\" class=MsoNormal><B style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal\"><SPAN style=\"FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'\"># 1<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>MERCATO<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/SPAN>( 9\/1 )<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Residence: Vermont<o:p><\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/B><\/P><P style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt\" class=MsoNormal><B style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal\"><SPAN style=\"FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'\">3-Year Old Filly<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Sire:<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Dubawi<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Dam (sire line):<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Danzig<o:p><\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/B><\/P><P style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt\" class=MsoNormal><B style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal\"><SPAN style=\"FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'\">Owner:<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>correction<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Jockey:<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>J.

Utilizing different surface, distance and class moves, she\u2019s reached the point now, the 10<SUP>th<\/SUP> race of her career where Drinkin Money definitely deserves some respect here, at the top Grade-1 level of turf routing. Ironically the only \u201cbad\u201d race, Drinkin Money ran was when Dansili got uncharacteristically aggressive and entered her in the Grade-3 Penelope Cruz Stake before tackling the minor Stake level crowd at 10 \u00bd furlongs, a farther distance than she had ever previously competed at. Dansili promptly entered her next in the $70,000 Spacious Melody Turf Route and even though it was another 10 \u00bd furlong event, she responded to the class level drop with a nice 2<SUP>nd<\/SUP> place effort, where she had the lead but hung in mid stretch. I like a trainer that realizes his horses limitations, in her last race Dansili wisely elected to cut Drinkin Money back to the 9 \u00bd furlong distance against the same level of Stake competition and Drinkin Money responded with a huge win, recording a 107 speed rating which certainly indicates she belongs with the best in the division and brings her into this event at the \u201cpeak\u201d of her racing form.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN><o:p><\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P><P style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt\" class=MsoNormal><SPAN style=\"FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'\">COMMENT:<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>A repeat of her latest effort should earn her at least a decent piece of the purse, any move forward and she\u2019s a definite threat to bag the winner\u2019s share.<o:p><\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P><P style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt\" class=MsoNormal><SPAN style=\"FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'\"><o:p>\u00a0<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P><P style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt\" class=MsoNormal><B style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal\"><SPAN style=\"FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'\"># 3<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>PRABHU DEVA<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/SPAN>( 5\/1 )<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Residence: Universal Racing Club<o:p><\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/B><\/P><P style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt\" class=MsoNormal><B style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal\"><SPAN style=\"FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'\">3-Year Old Filly<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Sire:<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Danehill Dancer<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN><SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/SPAN>Dam (sire line):<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Affirmed<o:p><\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/B><\/P><P style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt\" class=MsoNormal><B style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal\"><SPAN style=\"FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'\">Owner:<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>urcres1<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Jockey: P.

In her first 2 starts as a 2 year old, She easily broke her Maiden and then breezed to victory against Conditioned Allowance NW-2L runners. In her next start, moving up a condition to invade the Allowance NW-3L ranks, Prabhu Deva abandoned her \u201cstalking\u201d running style and assumed the lead right out of the gate, at the 4 furlong marker she looked like she may pull off the wire to wire victory. Halfway through the stretch Pradhu Deva began to labor and was eventually caught and had to settle for 2<SUP>nd<\/SUP> place. Her next attempt at NW-3L trainer Urcres1 decided to test her in a 6 \u00bd furlong sprint and return her to relaxing mid pack while the early lead was being contested, Prabhu Deva unleashed a furious rally down the stretch but fell just \u00bc length short and again brought home 2<SUP>nd<\/SUP> place money. Her 3<SUP>rd<\/SUP> try at the Allowance NW-3L level proved to be the charm as Prabhu Deva returned to routing and the added 1 \u00bd furlongs proved to be perfect as she unleashed her rally around the final turn and won by a comfortable 2 lengths recording a fabulous speed rating of 106 during the win. Her final tune up for today\u2019s event was her first venture into Stakes company in the 8 \u00bd furlong Grade-3 Hot Springs Stake. Good Choice set very fast early fractions and opened up a 7 length lead thru 6 furlongs, Prabhu Deva valiantly rallied in the final 2 furlongs and cut the margin to 1 \u00be lengths, but again had to settle for 2<SUP>nd<\/SUP> money.

Moving De Babe into Stakes competition, immediately after she broke her Maiden in her 3<SUP>rd<\/SUP> start took some faith. De Babe rewarded Whobegoto\u2019s confidence with a victory in the Corka Can Juvenile fill Stake, followed 4 weeks later with a decent fast closing 4<SUP>th<\/SUP> place finish in the Grade-3 Calvados. A Restricted Stake victory and a bang up 2<SUP>nd<\/SUP> place finish in the Grade-3 Dormello Stake, where De Babe missed victory by the length of her neck. Trainer Whobegoto then decided to shoot the moon and go for the big 2 year old filly prize in the Grade-1 Breeders Bowl Filly Juvenile. De Babe tried hard and finished a respectable, but unthreatening 7<SUP>th<\/SUP> place, beaten 10 \u00bd lengths. Since the Breeders Bowl, De Babe has tried 3 Minor Stakes and 2 Grade-3 Stakes and had similar results in all 5, she tried hard and never quit running earning ( 2 ) 2<SUP>nd<\/SUP>\u2019s, ( 1 ) 3<SUP>rd <\/SUP>and ( 2 ) 4<SUP>th<\/SUP> place finishes. Looking at the bright side, her last race the Grade-3 Chloe Stake, was arguably her best. Despite a 4<SUP>th<\/SUP> place finish, she was only beaten 2 \u00bc lengths and ran a very creditable 106 speed figure, easily her career best, against pretty talented field. <o:p><\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P><P style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt\" class=MsoNormal><SPAN style=\"FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'\">COMMENT:<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Honest runner, always tries, late running style and facing tough competition have blocked her from visiting winner\u2019s circle as a 3 year old.

However if you look her performances over carefully, you can make the case that her efforts weren\u2019t as bad as they appear. Ratem started Takeittothestreet\u2019s career on the dirt and she looked to be pretty comfortable on that surface, quickly breaking her Maiden in her 3<SUP>rd<\/SUP> effort. For her next start, Ratem was very ambitious with her, immediately entering her in a Grade-3 event where she ran a creditable 6<SUP>th<\/SUP>, only beaten 4 \u00bd lengths. She followed that race with her best dirt effort a nice 2<SUP>nd<\/SUP> place finish in the Rusty Deputy Stake, just missing the win by less than a length. Her last effort of her 2 year old season was a try against Grade-1 company where she just didn\u2019t fire finishing 13<SUP>th<\/SUP> of 14 entries. This prompted Raem to try Takeittothestreet on the turf for her 3 year old debut and she really took to the grass, scoring a win against Open Allowance runners and posting a career best 90 speed fig. in the process. After 2 disastrous failed dirt Stake efforts, Takeittothe street returned to the turf and impressively rattled off a win in the Laura\u2019s Parade Filly Stake and an really impressive 2<SUP>nd<\/SUP> place finish in the Grade-3 Cleopatra Stake earning a 102 speed figure. Rakem again got real ambitious and tried her in the Grade-1 Diana Grand Prix, where she tracked the speed in 5<SUP>th<\/SUP> but came up empty in the turn home. Her last start produced a 6<SUP>th<\/SUP> place finish against Open Allowance runners. This race would hardly suggest Takeittothestreet belongs here today, but it was only a 6 \u00bd furlong event and she was just starting to rally near the finish, so my guess is another furlong or 2 and she would have done much better.<o:p><\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P><P style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt\" class=MsoNormal><SPAN style=\"FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'\">COMMENT:<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Although it\u2019s very debatable whether Takeittothestreet has the ability to actually defeat a field of this caliber, I look for her to run an improved effort and a minor show or purse money finish wouldn\u2019t surprise me much, the 15-1 odds make her somewhat of a value play.<o:p><\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P><P style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt\" class=MsoNormal><SPAN style=\"FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'\"><o:p>\u00a0<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P><P style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt\" class=MsoNormal><SPAN style=\"FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'\"><o:p>\u00a0<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P><P style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt\" class=MsoNormal><B style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal\"><SPAN style=\"FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'\"># 12<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>MAGIC MOON<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/SPAN>( 16\/1 )<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Residence: Midas<o:p><\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/B><\/P><P style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt\" class=MsoNormal><B style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal\"><SPAN style=\"FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'\">3-Year Old Filly<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Sire:<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Malibu Moon<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN><SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/SPAN>Dam (sire line):<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Sadler\u2019s Wells<o:p><\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/B><\/P><P style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt\" class=MsoNormal><B style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal\"><SPAN style=\"FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'\">Owner:<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>sheen<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Jockey:<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>T.

Magic Moon\u2019s 1<SUP>st<\/SUP> race, on the surface, doesn\u2019t look real impressive, however entering a first time starter at the grueling 7 \u00bd furlong distance on the turf is a real test of stamina. She finished a rallying 4<SUP>th<\/SUP> in a field of 9, posting a respectable 74 speed rating. For her 2<SUP>nd<\/SUP> Maiden effort, Sheen stretched Magic Moon to 8 furlongs and she responded with a hard charging 2<SUP>nd<\/SUP> place effort only missing the winners circle by 1 \u00be lengths with an improved speed fig. of 79. Sheen brought her back the last day of 2011 under the same conditions and Magic Moon responded with a winning effort to shed her Maiden tag. Trainer Sheen then decided to give Magic Moon a crack at the dirt for her first go against Conditioned Allowance NW-2L runners. When she came home 4<SUP>th<\/SUP> beaten 8 \u00bd he felt pretty sure that turf racing was in her future. Sheen returned her to the grass and added a furlong, today\u2019s race distance, and Magic Moon responded in a big way, cruising to a 2 \u00bd length victory. In her next start against Conditioned Allowance NW-3L, Magic Moon had an extra furlong to tackle and duplicated her last race performance again breezing home 2 \u00bd lengths ahead of the rest, posting a lifetime best 100 speed rating. In preparation for this race, Sheen decided to test Magic Moon against Stake competition, the Grade-1 French Diana, and when Magic Moon came home 2<SUP>nd<\/SUP> in the field of 9, Sheen knows that his filly has taken that 1<SUP>st<\/SUP> big step towards stardom.<o:p><\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P><P style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt\" class=MsoNormal><SPAN style=\"FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'\">COMMENT:<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>It doesn\u2019t get much better than this as far as 16-1 long shots go.

Jagged Lil Pill then managed to rattle off 3 wins in her next 4 starts, she climbed the Conditioned Allowance step ladder, winning first a NW-2L, then a NW-3L and lastly the NW-4L. With nothing left to prove in the Allowance ranks, Aussloth aggressively targeted the Stakes for his filly, to date Jagged Lil Pill has managed 3 consecutive 2<SUP>nd<\/SUP> place finishes in 3 Stake efforts, including the 12 furlong Grade-1 Adelaide Stake and her latest, the 12 furlong Grade-2 Rippleschips Stake.

However, her 4<SUP>th<\/SUP> 3 year old race in the 12 furlong Grade-1 Japanese Oaks was nothing short of disastrous, finishing a well beaten 10<SUP>th<\/SUP> 22 lengths behind the winner.

It behooves a trainer to always prepare for the worst and have a Plan B in mind. Trainer handshob34\u2019s filly Instant Offense is a classic example of a horse sending mixed signals. Tracing her last 5 Stake turf races this season, that up and down unpredictability reared it\u2019s ugly head. In the minor 8 \u00bd furlong $25,000 Lawn Mower Again Stake, she ran a respectable 2<SUP>nd<\/SUP> in a field of 6 at odds of 5-1 earning a decent 95 speed figure. Her next start was at 12 furlongs in the $300,000 New Zealand Oaks, where Instant Offense grabbed the lead at 4 furlongs and held on tenaciously to finish 3<SUP>rd<\/SUP> only beaten 1 \u00bc lengths vs. a full field of 14 at the generous odds of 14 \u2013 1. Next handshob34 got really ambitious and moved her up to Grade-1 $500,000 Sydney Oaks, a race where Instant Offense never really got going and finished a distant 13<SUP>th<\/SUP> of 14 entries. Ignoring that disaster, handshob34 decided a cutback to 10 furlongs and a drop back to Grade-3 was where she belonged. Instant Offense rewarded him with the best race of her career, winning the $50,000 Wooly Mammoth and recording a career best 101 speed rating.<o:p><\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P><P style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt\" class=MsoNormal><SPAN style=\"FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'\">COMMENT:<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Can\u2019t dismiss her totally out of hand, she\u2019s 13 of 14 in the money lifetime, has some good Stake efforts on her resume\u2019, but seeing Instant Offense coming home 1<SUP>st<\/SUP> or 2<SUP>nd<\/SUP> would be a bit of a shock and certainly a minor upset.<o:p><\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P><P style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt\" class=MsoNormal><SPAN style=\"FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'\"><o:p>\u00a0<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P><P style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt\" class=MsoNormal><SPAN style=\"FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'\"><o:p>\u00a0<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P><P style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt\" class=MsoNormal><B style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal\"><SPAN style=\"FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'\"># 16<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>QUALITY BUZZ<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/SPAN>( 6\/1 )<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Residence: Empire State Racing<o:p><\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/B><\/P><P style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt\" class=MsoNormal><B style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal\"><SPAN style=\"FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'\">3-Year Old Filly<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Sire:<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Elusive Quality<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Dam (sire line):<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>El Prado<o:p><\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/B><\/P><P style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt\" class=MsoNormal><B style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal\"><SPAN style=\"FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'\">Owner:<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>jetair<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Jockey:<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>J.

With a 6 furlong Maiden victory and 2 mediocre Conditioned Allowance efforts (all on the dirt), trainer Jetair rolled the dice with his filly Quality Buzz and entered her in a 7 furlong Open Allowance Turf event. To jetair\u2019s delight Quality Buzz responded in a \u201cbig\u201d way, to the class hike, mowing down the competition with a thrilling stretch run and recording an 83 speed figure in the process. Jetair then let Quality Buzz tackle Stakes company and she again came up \u201cbig\u201d with a nice 2<SUP>nd<\/SUP> place effort, missing her 1<SUP>st<\/SUP> Stake victory by less than a length. Quality Buzz capped her 2 year old season with a rousing victory in the Nexus Ribbon Turf Filly Juvenile. As a 3 year old, Quality Buzz has done nothing to damper Jetair\u2019s enthusiasm, notching another minor Stake win. Her last 2 races have been nothing short of \u201csensational\u201d winning the Grade-1 St. Larry followed by her latest triumph in the Grade-3 Chloe Stakes where she recorded a \u201chuge\u201d 109 speed rating certainly stamp her as the one to beat today. <o:p><\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P><P style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 10pt\" class=MsoNormal><SPAN style=\"FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'\">COMMENT:<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Accomplished Graded winner has been dynamic on the turf, and has earned her ranking in the top 5 of the 3 year old filly turf route list.
