Owner <B>repository\u2019s<\/B> <B>Listen to Gove<\/B> decided to take a couple of years. After losing 9 maiden specials during her 2003 and 2004 campaigns, the light grey filly finally broke her maiden in her 10<SUP>th<\/SUP> try. Her first race back as as a winner aside (where she finished 8<SUP>th<\/SUP>), this Mutakddim x Relaunch filly has been lights-out, winning 4 in a row and rewarding her backers kindly at odds of 5\/1, 7\/1, 19\/1, and, in her most recent start after a 5 month layoff, 10\/1. Had someone taken $2 and bet on her when she won at 5\/1 and rolled the winnings over each time, they would already be sitting at a cool $15,000 with a few bucks to spare. Oddsmakers have paid no attention to history, however, and made her the co-longshot in this field at 13\/1 (meaning another rollover victory this weekend would increase that $2 investment to over $198,000)!<\/FONT><\/P><P><FONT face=Tahoma>This race is an intriguing one for her to attempt stakes-company for the first time. For starters, she is rolling back to 6 furlongs, a distance she has never tried.
