On the card for today’s tenth race is the one mile and three eighths The Daisy En La Lass(FR) Challenge Stakes<\/U>.\u00a0 The race, which is for three years old and up, will be run for a purse of $110,000.\u00a0 A total of six fillies and mares\u00a0are entered to battle around the fast dirt track.\u00a0 Let’s get to know the field.<\/P>
Staring from post one is the five year old mare Smokey’s Chant(5\/2)<\/STRONG>, trained by kody<\/EM> and ridden by J Dekeyser(5%)<\/STRONG>.\u00a0 She is sired by War Chant x Nureyev.\u00a0 In her last race she faced Gr. I horses, finishing last of fourteen, that was also run on a track listed as good.\u00a0 She was the favorite in a race prior to that and didn’t lift a foot in that either.\u00a0 Maybe showing th effects of old age?\u00a0 Is the top money earner in the short field and does know how to find the winner’s circle.<\/P> In post two is the dawgpound<\/EM> trained Constitutional(IRE)(7\/1)<\/STRONG>, being ridden today by N Bonus(13%)<\/STRONG>.\u00a0 She is a three year old daughter of Street Cry(IRE) x Carleon.\u00a0 Lightly raced filly is entered here to face older horses today for the first time.\u00a0 Another who faced Gr. I horses LTO, getting beaten by 6 1\/4.\u00a0 With the step up to older competition\u00a0she figures to be in to deep.<\/P> stakes<\/EM> enters Smarty Party(6\/1)<\/STRONG> breaking from post three with R Simcox(14%)<\/STRONG> up.\u00a0 She is a four year old by Touch Gold x Pulpit.\u00a0 This five time winner goes to the post for her 34th time.\u00a0 Since her purchase at auction three races back, she’s finished third twice and second once.\u00a0 LTO ran third by 12 1\/2 in a four horse field with speed fig. of 85.\u00a0 Faces much tougher here today.<\/P> In post four is the bigsruce<\/EM> trained, Shaky Legs(7\/2)<\/STRONG>, ridden by top jock F Gossett(23%)<\/STRONG>.\u00a0 This five year old is by Fusaichi Pegasus x A.P. Indy.\u00a0 She hardly ever runs a bad race.\u00a0 LTO she won the Kenbar Shannon Stakes by 3 with a speed figure of 97, easlily the best last race figure of the field.\u00a0 If she can run back to that performance and with the track’s top jock riding, lookout!\u00a0 The pick.<\/P> Breaking from post five is Cal City Gal(5\/1)<\/STRONG> ridden by A Dominguez(6%)<\/STRONG> and trained by windycity<\/EM>.\u00a0 She is a four year old daughter by Red Bullet x Unbridled’s Song.\u00a0 Five time winner and earner of almost $300k, BUT<\/STRONG> all five wins and all but $13,601 came on the TURF<\/STRONG>.\u00a0 She’s tried the dirt 5 times, placing second and third twice each.\u00a0 LTO she ran on the turf, so maybe she’ll improve a little off that on the turf\/dirt angle but I doubt that.\u00a0 Sitting, watching and waiting for her first dirt win.<\/P> Breaking from the outside in post six is the favorite\u00a0Royal Green(2\/1),<\/STRONG> trained by lip<\/EM> and ridden by F Allen(13%)<\/STRONG>.\u00a0 Four year old daughter of Royal Academy x Green Desert.\u00a0 Won a stakes race two back by 2 1\/4 with a speed figure of 95. LTO she finished second to Shaky Legs( who\u00a0she faces again today)\u00a0by 3 with a speed figure of 94.\u00a0 In what appears to be a two horse race, I don’t think she’ll turn the tide on Shaky today.\u00a0<\/P> THE BET<\/U><\/STRONG>:\u00a0\u00a0$100 exacta\u00a0 4\/1,6\u00a0<\/P><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Horses of all ages to compete<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":336,"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-2784","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-previews"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2784","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\/336"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2784"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2784\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2784"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2784"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2784"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
