Ohio\u2019s Glitter Bluff Stakes<\/I><\/B> is named for jlor3851<\/I>\u2019s homebred Glitter Bluff<\/B> (Glitterman x Pine Bluff x Danzig), who finished his racing career running for trainer yella<\/I>, who retired him as a shemale to breed to bargain sire Bonus Time Cat, producing Glitter Cat XP, who is still racing (without a great deal of success) as a 5-year-old.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Glitter Bluff<\/B> was a two-time stakes winner as a 2-year-old among his 5 lifetime wins.<\/P>

In one of many 3-year-old races this week, 6 colts will take to the firm turf to see who\u2019s best in this \u201cextra long\u201d sprint.\u00a0 <\/SPAN><\/P>

  1. Breaking from the inside will be 13candles<\/I>\u2019 Gun Carrier (NZ)<\/B>, one of the co-favorites at 2\/1<\/B>.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>The son of Zabeel (NZ) x Blakeney (GB) x Raja Baba is dropping back in distance from his most recent starts.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He ran a respectable fourth in his stakes debut, his only off-the-board finish ((7) 2-3-1 $49,482), all on turf.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>In his second attempt at stakes company in his most recent start, he finished second with a very nice 92<\/I> spf, getting caught in the stretch after leading in the 1 1\/16 mile Barely For Bold Stakes.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>U. Douglass will steer, a 6-year veteran who\u2019s off to a good start this year, and shortening up a little may be to this colt\u2019s benefit.<\/LI><\/OL>

    1. Q. Miller, a consistent and talented rider will be on Master of the Yard<\/B>, at 7\/2<\/B>.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>A homebred for fairfax<\/I><\/st1:place><\/st1:City> with a record of (8) 3-0-2 $88,882.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>In his only other stakes attempt, early in his 2-year-old career, he finished third in the Tolerant Peak Stakes on the Delaware<\/st1:place><\/st1:State> main track.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He\u2019s coming in off two straight allowance wins on turf, which provided his lifetime best speed figure of 87<\/I>.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Master of the Yard<\/B> is by Gone West x Kris S. x Sadler\u2019s Wells, and on breeding it would be interesting to see him try a mile or over, and he\u2019s working up to it.<\/LI><\/OL>

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

      1. Wilderness Rules<\/B>, owned and trained by rlogans<\/I> is by Canadian Frontier x Ali\u2019s Door (Lit de Justice x Singing Telegram).\u00a0 <\/SPAN>This experienced colt certainly hasn\u2019t ducked the competition, with 8 of 11 of his starts in stakes company.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He\u2019ll be ridden by highly competent and consistent journeyman N. Bedford<\/st1:place>.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Wilderness Rules is the first foal from his dam, whose only win was a route on dirt.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He has three stakes placements on turf, all at 1 mile or over, but hasn\u2019t won a race in six months.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>His lifetime best speed figure of 82<\/I> occurred in week 2650.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He\u2019ll start at 8\/1<\/B>.<\/LI><\/OL>

        1. dcsharks <\/I>presents us with his colt Sharks Oleander<\/B> (Olmodavor \u2013 a son of A.P. Indy \u2013 out of Seekastar, by Brahms x Seeking The Gold), winner in his last start, a stakes at 7f (T) in Utah<\/st1:State><\/st1:place>.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>In fact, he\u2019s coming in off three straight wins, and has hit the board in 4 of his 5 turf starts, with a lifetime record of (9) 4-1-2 $78,935.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>His lifetime high speed figure of 89<\/I> occurred two back during an allowance win.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>At 5\/2<\/B>, he\u2019s a definite threat.<\/LI><\/OL>

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

          1. Co-favorite Winning Spree<\/B> has been \u201cknocking at the door,\u201d having made 5 stakes starts and finished second in 4 of them.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Stevesutto<\/I>\u2019s son of Speightstown x Miss Warlock, a well-bred maiden by Seattle Slew x Dixieland Band (and dam of 2 other winners) is the top money earner in the field, at (11) 3-4-1 $113,804.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He posted an outstanding speed figure of 96<\/I> at this distance and surface to win an allowance race.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>These two factors have contributed to 2\/1<\/B> odds.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>His rider, A. Hartel, has had only 19 rides this year, winning 2 for a respectable win percentage, but a dismal in-the-money record; Winning Spree<\/B> gives a chance to improve those stats.<\/LI><\/OL>

            1. At 55\/1<\/B>, Bantu (AUS)<\/B>, owned and trained by encores2<\/I> appears badly overmatched today.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He was stakes-placed in his first start, with nothing since – (4) 0-1-0 $24,250.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He\u2019s an all-Australia-bred, sired by Commands (AUS), a Danehill son, out of the amusingly named Fangs (AUS) by Dracula (AUS) x Western Symphony (AUS).\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He\u2019ll benefit from the assistance of L.Bailey, a solid rider, but with a lifetime best speed figure of 65<\/I> and his maiden status, he seems unlikely to have much chance.\u00a0 <\/SPAN><\/LI><\/OL>
