\u00a0 The Berzerk A.P. Stakes will be run at 6.5 furlongs on the fast Kentucky dirt track.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>It carries a purse of $85,000.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>The field is listed below in post position order with the horse name, owner\/trainer, jockey, and odds.<\/P> \u00a0 \u00a0 A confirmed sprinter, Proprietary <\/B>continues to delve into the stakes ranks this week.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>In her last start she finished fourth in the Cindy Lou Who Stakes in Puerto Rico in week 2776.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Though she finished fourth her speed rating was just an 89.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Proprietary may have hit the infamous maturity spike this year.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Her first race this year was a tenth place finish in an allowance race with a speed rating of 88.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Her second race this year was the stakes in Puerto Rico.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She has compiled a fine record of 8 wins in 31 starts.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>However, after consistently running speed ratings over 100 toward the end of last year, the maturity spike seems to be the only explanation for her recent form.<\/P> \u00a0 \u00a0 This daughter of Australian sire Viscount has primarily run in route races in her career.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Though stakes placed, she has yet to win a stakes race in her career.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Also running in a stakes race in Puerto Rico last time out (the T. Champ(ARG) Memorial in week 2755), she finished with a speed rating of 86.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>In her two starts so far this year, Tess(AUS) has finished 5th<\/SUP> by over 13 lengths and 12th<\/SUP> by 13 lengths.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She has thrown some very good races in the last year, such as the second place finish in the 6 furlong Mighty Buster Special in week 2664.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She will need to run a similar race to make some noise this week.<\/P> \u00a0 \u00a0 White Flag <\/B>enters the Berzerk on a roll.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She has won her last three starts, including a win last time out in the Old Sadie(IRE) Special in week 2776.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She has also run over a greater than 100 speed rating her last three races.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>This mare is certainly on a roll!\u00a0 <\/SPAN>More amazing is that she is peaking in performance not long after being claimed by the current owner, ryantoga<\/B>.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>A $20,000 claim in week 2713, ryantoga immediately threw her to the wolves in her next start, the Grade 3 Remember Stakes at 9 furlongs on the turf.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Not deterred by her last place finish, White Flag then began her string of three straight victories.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Expect White Flag to be a main contender in this race.<\/P> \u00a0 \u00a0 The race favorite, Barb\u2019s Super Duper<\/B>, also comes into this race after a win last time out.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>That victory, the 6 furlong Mine Manta Stakes, was her 7th<\/SUP> win in 15 career starts.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>The graded stakes placed daughter of Woodman has run in dirt sprints for each of her 15 starts.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Six furlongs has been the distance of choice lately, but owner\/trainer should see Barb\u2019s Super Duper have no trouble getting the extra one-half furlong, as she has won at that distance previously.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>The resume for Barb\u2019s Super Duper makes her the one to beat in the Berzerk.<\/P> \u00a0 \u00a0 For those wondering, Claire Forlani is a British actress and a sim racehorse.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Though they haven\u2019t been seen in the same room together, it is safe to say that they are entirely different.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>For now, I\u2019ll only focus on the Claire Forlani sim racehorse\u2026Anyway, her previous race was a disappointing sixth place finish in the Hollow Prospector Stakes at Oregon.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>That was her only start this year and first career start against horses older than 3 years old.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>To be a factor in today\u2019s race she will need to improve her speed ratings dramatically.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She has yet to post a speed rating over 100 in her fourteen race career.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Her experience in the last race will help her in this race, but big improvement is still needed for her to be a factor.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Now, back to Claire Forlani the actress\u2026<\/P> \u00a0 \u00a0 If this race has a White Flag, then there is no reason for there not to be a Black Avenue<\/B>.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Black Avenue comes into the Berzerk with a second place and a third place finish in allowance races so far this year.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Similar to rival Claire Forlani, Black Avenue has one race with a speed rating of 100 (it was an allowance win).\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She will also need to step it up to contend in the race today.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>However, her two races this year, both at 6 furlongs, will go a long way in preparing her for this race.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Improvement is certainly a possibility for Black Avenue in this week\u2019s race.<\/P> \u00a0 \u00a0 After running with the graded stakes crowd, Suicide Solution<\/B> returned to allowance company last time out and disappointed owner\/trainer zwango1 <\/B>with a dull 8th<\/SUP> place finish and a 76 speed rating.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Early in 2005 Suicide Solution was wowing the stakes competition with consistent speed ratings over 100 and several wins.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She will need to return to that form in order to be competitive in the Berzerk.<\/P> \u00a0 \u00a0 Hornedfrog\u2019s Cayman Cape<\/B> comes into the Berzerk as another hot horse.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>A winner in 5 of 10 career starts she has posted a speed rating over 100 in four of her last five starts.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>A three race winning streak was broken when she tried stakes company for the first time in the Boneheights Special in week 2755 in Pennsylvania.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She finished second in that race and finished third last time out in the Critical Acclaim Bonanza, also at Pennsylvania.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Cayman Cape\u2019s front running style and excellent current form could mean that this is the weak she breaks through and wins a stakes race.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>And with only 10 career starts, a win this week could be the beginning of bigger and better success to come.<\/P><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" White Flag and Cayman Cape Head The
