Not all of the attention of owners of three years old fillies and mares will be on the Bluegrass Oaks in Kentucky<\/st1:place><\/st1:State>.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>For a group of nine owners, they will be aim for a chance to stand in the winner\u2019s circle in North Carolina<\/st1:place><\/st1:State> for winning the Barb\u2019s City Handicap.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Being seven and one-half furlongs, these runners are still being evaluated on whether they should be categorized as a sprinter, or can fall into the \u201cmiler\u201d grouping.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>As three years old runners, one or two of them may still develop physically and handle longer distances.<\/P>

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

Barb\u2019s City is a seven years old mare that won 5 over forty-three career sim starts.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>As a broodmare she has produced two runners, but neither has reached any stardom.<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

Won several races ago (gate to wire) at seven furlongs and has been tested at longer distances on grass, or mud since then.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Her return to this distance may be more to her liking. She should be pressing the early pace, and could throw a big performance.<\/P>

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

After a very promising two year old campaign, she has failed to fulfill her ownership\u2019s high expectations.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Of course, one needs to remember that she was placed in some tough graded stakes events and should benefit from escaping that group.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>WAKIWILD will be close to the leaders and will be a serious contender.<\/P>

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

She threw a big race LTO- with a gate to wire (sp 94) win in the Dayton Storm Memorial.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>The question that looms for this front runner is whether she duplicate that performance at the added one and one-half furlongs.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She likes to see daylight in front of her, but should feel plenty of pressure from others.<\/P>

I am sure with this bloodline, ownership was hoping to be running in Kentucky<\/st1:place><\/st1:State> on the first Saturday in May.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She has failed to win a stakes event, and may find this one to be a challenge.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Being a stalker- she should find the quick pace in front of her to be to her benefit.\u00a0 <\/SPAN><\/P>

Another speedster- she is the long shot in this event.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She is unproven at this distance, and may be worn down from the expected crowd near the front.\u00a0 <\/SPAN><\/P>

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

This race has a lot of runners that should be bidding for early positioning on or near the lead.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>I am going with a stalker like bongareee<\/SPAN><\/B> to benefit from the tiring pacers.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>WAKIWILD<\/B> may find that this field is more at her level and be around at the wire.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>SHANTYTOWN<\/B> has hung tough in her races, and should have enough to be there again in this one.<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>
