A dirt race \u00a0that is open to 3 year old fillies that are non-winners of 4 races in their lifetime. \u00a0A mile distance race with eight entered into this $40,000 claiming race which has a bit of a twist that I realized after selecting the race. \u00a0Two of the entrants were bred by me, however, I do no longer own either.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
1. \u00a0Amazing Shoey 6\/1-<\/strong>One of the horses I bred is coming off a fifth place finish in last and stumbled to the 80-speed level for the first time. \u00a0She likes to run near the front, but failed to do so in last which had impact on results. \u00a0While she drops in claiming ranks, she goes up in distance, trying mile for first time. \u00a0Any speed improvement makes her a threat.<\/p>\n 2 \u00a0Despite Warrior \u00a016\/1-<\/strong>Switched barns at end of year and kicked 2015 off with enhancement in speed numbers into 70-range for first time for new connections, picking up a second and more recently a win. \u00a0Moves up in claiming ranks and will re-try a mile distance which was very troublesome to her in her first try.<\/p>\n 3. \u00a0The Nile Prado \u00a05\/2-<\/strong>Speed numbers have been moving upwards over the past several months, but at a very slow pace. \u00a0Last four starts were all in 80 range, topping at 83 in last start at mile distance, finishing second after dropping out of allowance to claiming. \u00a0Beaten favorite in last looks to make amends this time with better odds.<\/p>\n 4. \u00a0Missed The Mark \u00a010\/1-<\/strong>This is another horse bred by me and is entered by the race sponsor (not me). \u00a0 Ran a mile once which was back in January notching out career best speed of 77 but finished 8 strides back in non-competitive third. \u00a0 Last race she finished 7th going 6f, but is a throw away race as she was bothered by off-track conditions. \u00a0Back to mile but needs to bring best game.<\/p>\n 5. \u00a0Queen Solo \u00a09\/2-<\/strong>Likely pace setter in this race, this front running lady showed vast improvement when knocked out of allowance to claimers this season. \u00a0Has won both claiming starts with big boost in speed from 60’s to the 80’s. \u00a0Dips a bit in the claiming level and will try the mile distance for first time. \u00a0Capable of making three in a row.<\/p>\n 6. \u00a0Tenpoint Graduate \u00a04\/1-<\/strong>Last five starts have been in claiming class and this lady has finished in the money in each start. \u00a0Easy winner in last, going mile for first time with 77 speed and winning by 3 strides over field of CPU runners. \u00a0The speed could have been better if she was in a more competitive field. \u00a0Late runner could steal this.<\/p>\n 7. \u00a0Kidding \u00a05\/1-<\/strong>Converted over to dirt from grass at start of 2015 and looks to be a good fit. \u00a0Will put up a fight on the lead with Queen Solo and brings a win and second on the dirt leading into this race. \u00a0Recorded 81 SP in last and nudges distance up a smidge from 7.5f to a mile. \u00a0Climbs up the claiming ladder but the dirt speeds look good here.<\/p>\n 8. \u00a0Slain \u00a05\/1-<\/strong>Distance works for this girl who has won twice in three starts at 8 to 8.5 furlongs. \u00a0Won last with 79 speed against $20k claimers. \u00a0Moves back up in claiming level and has struggled a bit at tail end of 2014 with higher claiming races.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Going with late runner Tenpoint Graduate in this one. \u00a0I think the mile will be a good fit.<\/p>\n The Nile Prado should get a piece and fits well in this field.<\/p>\n Queen Solo will be out front, hangs on for third.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A dirt race
