This week in Previous results of The Dallas BB Stakes were:<\/P> 2000 \u2013 Sugar Burden<\/B> \u2013 luffe – 1.22.8 \u2013 SR 101<\/P> 2001 \u2013 Marc Till Que<\/B> \u2013 princessme \u2013 1.22.2 – 109<\/P> 2002 \u2013 Wonder Improve <\/B>\u2013 moonbeam \u2013 1.22.2 – 109 <\/P> 2003 \u2013 Afleeting Glance<\/B> \u2013 kingcobra \u2013 1.21.8 – 112<\/P> 2004 \u2013 Xander<\/B> \u2013 oilspill \u2013 1.21.8 – 112<\/P> 2005 \u2013 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/SPAN><\/P> As can be seen from the history books, it is very likely that this week\u2019s winner will need to cover the distance in around 1.22, and will need to be able to record a very healthy speed figure. We see a well balanced, even field of runners here, with the price range about as tight as last week\u2019s Bluegrass Derby<\/I>. There\u2019s not a runner without a genuine chance, as indicated by the early markets, which have the favorite at 6\/1 and the rank outsider at just 16\/1.<\/P> We\u2019ll work through the field in racebook order:<\/P> From the inside gate will emerge Senior Year<\/B>. theoc2<\/B> bred this one from scratch using Lion Heart \/ Mr. Greeley \/ Chief\u2019s Crown<\/I>. He began repaying his connections right from the start, winning on debut, and going on to provide plenty of thrills as he, like so many others, embarked on the Derby<\/I> trail. He remained in some sort of contention for the classic, but was relying on a win in his most recent start, the Bluegrass Trail Stakes<\/I> \u2013 G3 to move up the entry order. Sadly he could manage only seventh in that, and as a result, the stable have decided to revisit the sprinting ranks, where his first two races resulted in a maiden win and an allowance second. As a proven sprinter, and a dual stakes winner over the mile, the seven furlongs should prove ideal. The inside gate should allow him to settle in a handy position. He\u2019s unlikely to want the lead, but should in a good spot to issue a serious challenge at the business end. Lining up in stall number 2 will be Red Vise<\/B>, quoted at 8\/1 in the early markets. A winner of six from fourteen, his two year old season was most exciting, and 2006 is shaping to look even better. Red Vise<\/B> is the second foal of Black Vise<\/B>, a daughter of High Yield \/ Summer Squall<\/I>, who was victorious on nine of her 29 trips to the races. Sent by owner \/ trainer econ<\/B> to Victory Gallop<\/I> for this mating, Red Vise<\/B> currently sits at # 2 on his sire\u2019s three year old earners list, and will be looking to improve that position this weekend. He was given a solid year at two, racing ten times, and thrived on the work, producing five wins, including one at black type level. This year began with his biggest challenge, a trip to the equinics, where he ran a strong third in a field of twenty in the Ron Turcotte \u2013 G1<\/I>. Dropped back to allowance level for a confidence boosting win, then back to graded and ungraded racing for a pair of seconds leading into this. Capable jockey J. Chapman<\/I> is sure to have him within striking distance, and he\u2019ll be looking to add to his recent record, in which his last five starts have all produced podium finishes.<\/P> Barrier 3 is the starting position for Lemonade Stand. <\/B>An incredibly unlucky colt, he had racked up four seconds, three of them at stakes level, in consecutive races before finding the opposition too hot in the Sand Castle Derby<\/I> \u2013 G2. Scratchbred by tiramasu42<\/B>, using Afleet \/ Nureyev \/ Prove Out<\/I>, he won his maiden impressively on debut, then put in two good runs in stakes races before his run of seconds. He\u2019s facing a quality field here, but definitely has the ability to be in the mix. He\u2019s well overdue for a change in fortune and smart jockey P.Henderson<\/I> will be looking to take a handy sit, without giving the leaders too much of a head start. At 14\/1 Lemonade Stand<\/B> is one of the longer priced starters, but this is such an evenly matched field that those odds could well prove to be quite generous.<\/P> Nighthawk Quest<\/B> will jump from gate 4. A most versatile three year old with wins on both surfaces, and the ability to perform over a range of distances, he returns to sprinting despite winning three stakes races over longer trips from his last four visits to the track. A son of Melek Ha Cavode<\/B> jumps from 5. Bred from scratch and carrying the blood of Touch Gold \/ Royal Danzig \/ Fast Play<\/I>, this lightly raced three year old colt continues to develop strongly under the training of genesis66<\/B>. Like most good horses his age, he has been tested over a bit more ground in the lead-up races to the triple crown. He didn\u2019t quite make the grade there, and returns to the sprinting ranks, where he holds a perfect record of two from two, in his quest to regain winning form. Melek Ha Cavode<\/B> was the impressive winner of his first three races, a maiden sprint, an allowance mile and a sprint stakes, before finishing down the track in Florida\u2019s Fountain of Ute<\/I> \u2013 G2. A strong third in a Stall 6 is the starting position for Versus <\/B>and given the fact that this lightly raced three year old has yet to finish worse than third in nine career starts, it would be most unwise to underestimate his chances here this week. Versus<\/B> was bred as a result of the mating of El Prado<\/I> with One Groove<\/B>, a stakes winning daughter of Gone West \/ Sharpen Up<\/I>. Owner \/ trainer myjuliet<\/B> chose to begin his racing on the grass, where he ran two creditable thirds at his first two starts. Switched to dirt, his career went ahead in leaps and bounds. A strong second of fourteen preceded his maiden victory at his fourth run. A couple more allowance runs to round out 2005 resulted in a third and a second. Following his birthday he improved another step, winning consecutive allowances before a closing third three weeks ago in the Bay Horse Stakes<\/I> \u2013 G3 in Indian Cat T<\/B> will emerge from barrier 7. Capable but inconsistent is the description which immediately springs to mind, and as a result we\u2019ll see him carrying the longest odds of any runner. He can run very impressive races against graded company, but his rare visits to the winners circle (2 from 14) have come only at allowance level. Raced by his breeder, pup<\/B>, Indian Cat T<\/B> is a son of bargain sire Indian Territory<\/I> from the three times winning mare She\u2019 Like a Cat <\/B>(Tabasco Cat \/ Sovereign Dancer<\/I>). He won his debut at allowance level before being twice stakes placed at two years of age. His form for 2006 reads 6-5-4-7-1-11, with losing margins varying from four to twenty lengths. It would not be surprising to see him run a very forward race, but to see him cross the line first could come be unexpected by many. Just an aside, but it seems strange that he\u2019s never been tried on the grass, given that his dam\u2019s three victories were all on that surface. <\/P> From stall 8 comes Big Poppa Pump<\/B>, a smart young sprinter with four wins from twelve and more than $216,000 in the bank. A stakes winner at both two and three, he comes into this with the best sort of last start form, a black type win over this distance and a triple digit speed rating to go along with it. Always a threat in this type of event, he has returned a check at all bar two of his previous starts. The two where he finished down the track were firstly against Grade 1 company, and the other occasion was his only attempt at the route distance. stonecold<\/B> has had remarkable success with the progeny of Stormy Night<\/B> (Storm Cat \/ Mr. Prospector)<\/I>, herself a winner of six from 39 and a producer of four winners. Big Poppa Pump<\/B> is a result of that mare\u2019s visit to Point Given<\/I> and he still has a lot to live up to as he sets out to chase the nearly 800k earned by his still stakes performing half-sister Alcatraz<\/B> (Arazi<\/I>). He\u2019s blessed with both plenty of ability, and a patient, loyal trainer, so he\u2019ll be given every opportunity to contribute to the family history. This week I\u2019d expect jockey R.White<\/I> to slide in behind the likely leader Nighthawk Quest<\/B>, before issuing a serious challenge in the run home.<\/P> Astronomical Unit<\/B> occupies stall 9. This most consistent young sprinter is as honest as the day is long. After an inauspicious debut on the grass, breeder \/ trainer rockrace<\/B> shifted to the dirt and has been rewarded with a pay check on each of eleven subsequent visits to the races. Three stakes wins as a two year old were followed up by Graded second and third placings to start his three year old campaign, then coming a stakes second and, at his most recent outing, fifth in a full field in New York\u2019s South Bronx Stakes<\/I> \u2013 G3, five weeks ago. Astronomical Unit<\/B> was the result of a mating of quality sire High Yield<\/I>, with the cheaply bred (Chromite \/ Baby Slewy<\/I>), moderately performed mare, Speed O\u2019Lite<\/B>, a winner of 6 from 56 in allowance and claiming classes. rockrace<\/B> certainly chose well in High Yeild<\/I>, as the resultant progeny continues to provide a healthy return in very classy events. Astronomical Unit<\/B> is likely to take a sit mid-field, before motoring home.<\/P> Although Moneygrowsontrees<\/B> has a very impressive strike rate of four wins from ten starts, the form looks even better when only the sprinting results are taken into account. No doubt, like all talented three year olds, he was sent over a bit more ground early in his career to test the triple crown waters. It was not to be with this fellow, despite a promising second in the Grade 3 Upper State Juvenile Stakes<\/I> late in his two year old season. Two route attempts at three years of age resulted in sixth and ninth place finishes, while two graded sprints sandwiched between them both produced convincing victories. Moneygrowsontrees<\/B> came into being when Miss Carby<\/B>, a poorly performed daughter of Mr. Prospector \/ I am the Game<\/I>, was retired to stud and sent to Forestry<\/I>. Racing from the outset in the cheadle<\/B> colors, the resultant two year old lost no time striking top form, winning his maiden at his second start, before taking on, and defeating a stakes field at his third start. He\u2019s raced in graded company ever since and looks set to develop into one of the top three year old sprinters this year. His sprinting record reads four wins and a second from six, with the only failure being against Grade 1 company on Del Penn Day. The odds makers have obviously taken this on board as they\u2019ve installed him as the top pick at 6\/1, while premier jockey C. Shoemaker<\/I> has chosen to ride this talented colt.<\/P> <\/SPAN>\u00a0<\/P> Gate 11 will be occupied by Beau\u2019s Pegasus<\/B>. Carrying on the family tradition for mortician<\/B>, he\u2019s the third member of the Beau\u2019s Countries<\/B> family tree, and the third with black type form. Beau\u2019s Countries<\/B>, the Deputy Minister \/ Private Account<\/I> dam of Beau\u2019s Pegasus<\/B>, was herself a stakes winner, while his older half sister, Country of Origin<\/B>, by Woodman<\/I> has finished ITM four times in black type events. Beau\u2019s Pegasus<\/B> is a son of Fusaichi Pegasus<\/I>, and prior to this race has two stakes wins, four black type seconds and a third at that level on his CV. As all three horses are mortician<\/B> \u2018exclusives\u2019 the breeder \/ trainer looks like setting up a very profitable dynasty emanating from Beau\u2019s Countries<\/B>. Back to the horse in question. He\u2019s a proven stakes performer and looks more than capable of producing yet another top level performance against this slightly higher class of opposition. The 15\/1 on offer represents great value and underlines the overall quality of this marvelous race.<\/P> Kisaran<\/B>, from gate 12, drops back to sprint racing, after looking a genuine triple crown contender just three starts ago. Bred by sending Bedazzle<\/B>, an underperforming daughter of Gate 13 finds Fly\u2019s Motivator<\/B>, another talented colt who could do with a change of luck. His two wins from ten would have him, on face value, struggling against this high quality opposition, but when we take into account his unlucky four times second in black type events from his most recent seven trips to the track, his underlying ability starts to hit home. Fly\u2019s Motivator is a scratchbred son of Montjeu \/ Gone West \/ Sharpen Up<\/I>, raced by his breeder charliefly<\/B>. As his breeding would obviously demand, his first two starts were on the grass, and although not shabby, they were not up to the standard charliefly<\/B> was expecting. Switched to dirt, the tide turned with an immediate, impressive maiden victory which signaled a future at stakes level, where he\u2019s been given plenty of time to acclimatize. 2006 has seen a win and two seconds from four and his most recent, eye-catching finish in From the outside will emerge Asheron\u2019s Call.<\/B> A scratchbred son of Maria\u2019s Mon \/ King\u2019s Bishop \/ Majestic Prince<\/I>, this three year old has always shown talent, and his most recent form indicates that his immediate future is secure in the Graded class. After winning stylishly on debut, the jump to black type racing was immediate, if perhaps a tad early. A stakes fourth and a Grade 3 ninth convinced breeder \/ trainer capsized<\/B> to drop to allowance racing to regain confidence. Allowance second and first at his final two runs at two had him prepared for a successful year as a three year old. Beginning with an easy allowance win, it was back to the black type for a second of four, and a seventh of eight. Yet another comprehensive allowance win encouraged the trainer to try again at Graded level, and Asheron\u2019s Call<\/B> answered the call this time in the best possible way. A last start win in the Bay Horse Stakes<\/I> \u2013 G3 has the colt firmly established at this level, as he sets out to make it three wins in a row this weekend. The 15\/1 on offer looks most generous for a colt in such good current form.<\/P> The Odds Makers opinion:<\/P> \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/SPAN>6\/1 \u2013 Moneygrowsontrees<\/P> \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/SPAN>7\/1 \u2013 Astronomical Unit<\/P> \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/SPAN>8\/1 \u2013 Red Vise, Fly\u2019s Motivator<\/P> \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/SPAN>9\/1 \u2013 Senior Year<\/P> \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/SPAN><\/P> The Computer opinion:<\/P> \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Moneygrowsontrees \u2013 12<\/P> \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Astronomical Unit \u2013 21<\/P> Red Vise – 25\u00a0\u00a0 <\/SPAN><\/P> Big Poppa Pump \u2013 59<\/P> Kisaran – 67<\/P><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Full Field of Genuine Chances in Texas Grade 3<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":261,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_container_layout":"default_layout","colormag_page_sidebar_layout":"default_layout","footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2413","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-previews"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2413","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/261"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2413"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2413\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2413"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2413"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2413"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
