face=Arial size=2> <\/FONT><\/P><DIV>A field of six juvenile\u00a0fillies will square off in Parc Le Bois&#8217; Saturday feature, The Stupidly Light Challenge Stakes,\u00a0fashioned at a distance of seven furlongs\u00a0over the main course.\u00a0 The weather forecast for Boise is warm and sunny which is good news for racing fans but not so hot for the rangers fighting local wildfires.\u00a0 Let&#8217;s take a\u00a0look at the starlets in post position order.<\/DIV><DIV>\u00a0<\/DIV><DIV>Breaking from gate one is Pigeon9&#8217;s <STRONG>Ermington Drop<\/STRONG>.\u00a0 The daughter of Eavesdropper and the useful racemare China First Lady (Cat Thief x Cryptoclearance) has won three of five starts with a second place finish also.\u00a0 The only time the flashy chestnut was unplaced was in Utah&#8217;s Grade II Stoker Handicap.\u00a0 Last time out Ermington Drop was a front running victress in a Washington stake at 5.5 furlongs.\u00a0 Major threat with a fine conditioner and leading rider Bill Gulch in the irons.<\/DIV><DIV>\u00a0<\/DIV><DIV>The two hole is occupied by race favorite <STRONG>New Found Pegasus<\/STRONG> who is tabbed at 2-1 by linemaker Todd Wardle.\u00a0 Calipso&#8217;s pretty brown filly with the soulful eyes and cute white snip is FAST!\u00a0 She won her first two career starts handily before struggling a bit when asked to face stakes foes.\u00a0 Still, she posted a very respectable 82 speed figure while finishing a close up fourth in a North Dakota stake in her last race.\u00a0 The Newfoundland x Alybuck Pegasus (Fu Peg x Alydar) lass breezed a half in :48.1 on Monday and looked sensational on the track.\u00a0 Appears all set for a big effort.<\/DIV><DIV>\u00a0<\/DIV><DIV>Undefeated<STRONG> Winternet<\/STRONG> is named for her sire, Freefourinternet, and SIM glamour girl, Winterheart, who trainer Australia holds in very high esteem.\u00a0 Winternet is two for two having popped her cherry right here in Idaho at first asking in a maiden special event.\u00a0 She followed that up with an eye-catching allowance score in Frisco.\u00a0 Seeks third straight on the step up.\u00a0 Hot trainer and hot horse.\u00a0 Nice combination.<\/DIV><DIV>\u00a0<\/DIV><DIV>Number four is also undefeated.\u00a0 <STRONG>Montana Hunter<\/STRONG> is perfect in two tries for Montana based trainer, Bigsky5.\u00a0 Bigsky names all of his horses Montana something.\u00a0 And Hunter is off to a great start.\u00a0 The precocious daughter of Rockslide and multiple stakes winner Hunter&#8217;s Event (Event of the Year x Zafonic) won a stake\u00a0at Cheeseland Downs last time out after breaking her maiden south of the border.\u00a0 No reason she can&#8217;t make it three straight.<\/DIV><DIV>\u00a0<\/DIV><DIV>The Apprentice sired <STRONG>Kingston Cat<\/STRONG> has yet to miss the board in five career tries.\u00a0 This is the first foal of\u00a0See Ya who is by Forest Wildcat.\u00a0 Shamekha14&#8217;s filly will be making her stakes debut under jockey Clifford Cook.\u00a0 Kingston Cat ran her best speed figure to date, a quick 76,\u00a0while finishing a nice third in a Prairie Meadows allowance last time out.\u00a0 Needs only a small step forward to be heard from on Saturday.<\/DIV><DIV>\u00a0<\/DIV><DIV>Rounding out our compact but classy field is Hollandia8&#8217;s promising speedster, <STRONG>Iva Motor<\/STRONG>.\u00a0 The big Distorted Humor chestnut won her debut easily at Puerto Rico&#8217;s Commodore Park before settling for a very solid fifth behind three terrific graded winners in Arizona.\u00a0 Next time out she passed nine horses while taking place honors in a North Dakota allowance and she punched her ticket to this Les Bois stake with a solid allowance tally in Rhode Island.\u00a0 Clearly a huge factor in here.<\/DIV><DIV>\u00a0<\/DIV><DIV>This is anyone&#8217;s race.\u00a0 Only favored New Found Pegasus has run this far and she was unsuccessful.\u00a0 C&#8217;mon out and see what happens!<\/DIV><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Undefeated fillies Winternet and Montana Hunter Set to Dispute
