Welcome to New York<\/st1:place><\/st1:State> and the next to last race on today\u2019s full card of races.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Our next is the GIII Last Jump Handicap, a race of a mile and an eighth for Fillies and Mares, 3 years old and up, on a Fast Dirt main course.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>A field of 12 fillies and mares has shown up today so let\u2019s see who\u2019s here\u2026<\/P>

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

First up, in P1, is #44 Bubblegum Rock (IRE)<\/B>, a 4 year old light grey filly owned by highpoint<\/I> by El Prado (IRE) based on Heavy Metal (Seeking The Gold x Northern Dancer) and is 20\/4-3-2 lifetime.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>It seems this gal seems to appreciate 8-8.5 fl races more than 9fl, because of 5 races 9fl and up, she has only finished in the bps once.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Seeing that, it doesn\u2019t inspire much confidence that she can nail this field, along with the fact that she seems to be in a bit of a slump right now.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She will have to climb out of that and overcome her distance issues if she wants to be in on the action here today.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She is off at odds of 10\/1 and has jock B. Child in the saddle.<\/P>

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

Next, in PP2, we have #45491 Edge Hopper<\/B>.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She is a jake<\/I> trained 5 year old brown mare by Danzig out of Lazy Buda (Event Of The Year x Alydar) and is 33\/18-6-3 lifetime.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>This big mare is a very solid competitor, including some stakes wins at this distance.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She also has the speed enough to handle some of the others in this race and is coming off a hot streak including a third in a G3 a few races back.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She is a real solid shot at being up there with them today.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She is starting at 5\/1 and is ridden by N. Gibson.<\/P>

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

Next up, in PP3, is #94334 Northerly Nicole<\/B>, a 4 year old skirom<\/I> trained brown filly by Dynaformer out of North Stock (Sunday Silence x Far North) and is 19\/7-5-3 lifetime.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>This filly is coming off of several consecutive stakes races, with the last two being graded events, where she finished 2nd<\/SUP> and 3rd<\/SUP>.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She has shown that she\u2019s got the speed and the ability to go this distance, so she is another solid choice here today.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She is at odds of 7\/1 and has jockey P. Davis<\/st1:place><\/st1:City> in the irons.<\/P>

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

In PP4, is #61000 Cryptoblonde<\/B>, a snowchief<\/I> owned 4 year old brown filly by Cryptoclearance based on Broad A La Blonde (Touch Gold x At Talaq) and is 20\/6-2-3 lifetime.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>This horse has been a very solid allowance runner for her owner, and finally made a foray into stakes races 3 races back, and has been improving ever since, winning one last time out.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>This will be her first graded run and she has drawn into some good company.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She is off at 10\/1 and is ridden by Ax Williams.<\/P>

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

Next, in PP5, is #80725 Arrivals<\/B>.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She is a 3 year old chestnut graz628<\/I> owned filly by A.P. Indy out of Arrival Again (Arazi x Alysheba) and is 5\/1-2-0 lifetime.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Here is the tenderfoot of the bunch, being only 3 and having only 5 races under her belt.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She only made her first stakes run last time out, finishing 5th<\/SUP>, but her speeds have not been as good as some of the more seasoned runners here today.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>That, along with the fact that this will be her first try at this distance, will make this a tough race for her and she still has a lot of proving to do.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She is off at 78\/1 and has jockey R. Foster in the saddle.<\/P>

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

Next up, in PP6, we have #63426 Matroni Et Moi<\/B>, a frosty<\/I> trained 5 year old chestnut mare by Cat Thief out of a mare by Raja Baba and is 18\/6-3-2 lifetime.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Another solid allowance runner, she is also developing into a decent nongraded stakes runner, but her two graded stakes tries were not very confidence inspiring, but both were in G1 company.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>I caught up with her trainer who says \u201cshe got off her schedule a while back right before that open stakes in Sweden<\/st1:place><\/st1:country-region>, and it screwed up her form big time\u201d, and it appears she might have a point there.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She can handle some of the other runners here today, but might find it difficult to out run the rest. \u00a0<\/SPAN>She is starting with odds of 9\/1 and is ridden by R. Haffner.<\/P>

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

Coming up next, in PP7, is #32639 Swift Kick<\/B>, a 4 year old sdmf2<\/I> trained chestnut filly by Summer Squall out of a Crafty Prospector mare and is 19\/8-5-1 lifetime.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>This obviously talented filly is a multiple stakes and graded stakes winner, including 3 G1 in a row late last year, including the Breeders Bowl Distaff.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She is definitely a tough competitor, despite the bad race she threw last time out.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She is going to be a tough one ot get around here today.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She is the favorite here today at 7\/2 and is being ridden by N. Painter.<\/P>

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

In PP8, we have #92071 Aka Gray T<\/B>.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She is a 4 year old chestnut filly owned by shanx<\/I> and sired by Akaaber out of Elrod\u2019s Coyote (Regal Search x Alleged) and is 18\/2-5-2 lifetime.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>This filly seems to prefer allowance races to stakes, as her past performances can attest.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She can handle today\u2019s distance, but her speeds will not be enough to take on a lot of the other girls in this race.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She is off at odds of 27\/1 and has jock A. Tuten in the irons.<\/P>

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

Next, in PP9, we have #54874 English Bark<\/B>.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She is an 8 year old tazenshag<\/I> owned brown mare by Gone West out of an Affirmed bred mare and is 43\/14-5-8 lifetime.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>The oldest mare in today\u2019s race, she\u2019s still spry and going strong at 8 years old.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She placed in a stakes race last time out and has won graded events, but most of her latest successes came last year.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She should have enough speed to at least finish in the bps here today.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She is starting with odds of 6\/1 and is ridden by N. Lawton.<\/P>

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

Up next, in PP10, is #23286 Giant Hopes (IRE)<\/B>, a gipper4<\/I> owned 5 year old brown mare by Giant\u2019s Causeway (IRE) based on Pete Niner (Forty Niner x Jungle Savage) and is 30\/7-3-3 lifetime.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>This is another one today that seems to be more comfortable in the allowance ranks, even though she has had some stakes success earlier in her career.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Her last graded start was back during her 3 year old season, and her form has slacked off a bit of late.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>To get in the money here, I\u2019m thinking she needs to revert back to old form.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She is off at 9\/1 and has jockey S. Israel in the saddle.<\/P>

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

In PP11, is #88326 Answer Back T<\/B>, a 4 year old graceful<\/I> owned brown filly by Almostashar out of a Time To Explode mare and is 6\/3-0-2 lifetime.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>This lightly raced 4 year old is developing well, but has only two stakes starts under her belt, with only a 3rd<\/SUP> to her credit.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She also appears to prefer miles to anything over that at this point.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Her speeds have been ok, but needs to improve a lot to have a shot here today.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She is at odds of 18\/1 and is being ridden by P. Hilton.<\/P>

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

And, last but not least, in PP12, we have #64313 Forty Winx<\/B>.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She is a 4 year old brown filly owned by foxon3<\/I>, by Forty Niner out of a mare by Nijinsky II and is 26\/9-4-3 lifetime.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Here is another stakes winning filly, but most of those wins came during her 2 and early 3 year old seasons, although she won a stakes last time out at today\u2019s distance.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>However, her graded races haven\u2019t shown too much, so she will have to work to get home in front today.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She is off at odds of 6\/1 and has jockey A. Roberts taking up the reins.\u00a0 <\/SPAN><\/o:p><\/P>

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

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/SPAN>We have here a collection of established and up-and-coming talents, but only one of these can win here today.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>I like the 2, the 3, the 6, the 7, and the 9 to round out my top 5, but not necessarily in that particular order.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>This will be a tough race for everyone so, Good Luck and Good Racing!<\/o:p><\/P><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
