\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Hello race fans and welcome to another addition of Hoof Beats<\/EM> .\u00a0 We turn our gaze to Epic New York this week to cover the 6th running of the illustrious Superfilly Handicap<\/U> -G1<\/STRONG> , a Sim milestone for fillies and mares 3\u00a0years and older .\u00a0 The course is 8.5 furlongs , the prize is $ 400,000 and the honor of having the winning stables colors displayed till next year .\u00a0 Every year there is the question of whether a horse will repeat .\u00a0\u00a0Sdmf2<\/EM> ,Trainer\u00a0of 2005 winner Swift Kick<\/STRONG>\u00a0elected to race in California last week and won’t be attending .\u00a0 A real shame there as she is the divisions 3rd ranked member and had a great shot at a repeat.\u00a0 The next question up will be if this years winner will run faster than the 1:41 flat time set by 2002 winner George’s Burglars <\/STRONG>, or will their filly join 2001 winner Norevic<\/STRONG> as a premier broodmare .\u00a0\u00a0Only time will answer these questions so lets take a look at the field as they come onto the track .<\/DIV>

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 On the rail at\u00a0 16 \/ 1 is Tete Astaroth (GB)<\/STRONG> ( \u00a0Diesis (GB)\u00a0 x\u00a0 Secretariat\u00a0 x\u00a0 Luthier (FR) \u00a0)\u00a0 from the Flurgen3<\/EM> stable . Veteran C . Tool gets the nod .\u00a0 A crafty claim of the current trainer last year , this filly has really blossomed under the dedicated tutelage .\u00a0 In the money in every race this season except once , this filly has earned 4 wins from 9 f – 14 f .\u00a0 In a bold move , she makes a big jump in class to challenge graded\u00a0company .<\/DIV>

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 In post 2 at\u00a0 19 \/ 1 is Wally’s Dehere<\/STRONG> (\u00a0Dehere\u00a0 x\u00a0 Forty Niner\u00a0 x\u00a0 Proudest Roman\u00a0 ) from the Doa<\/EM> stables , ridden by Journeyman jockey P .\u00a0 Davis .\u00a0 With 7 of her 8 starts among graded fields in 2006\u00a0, this multiple stakes winning \/ GW\u00a0filly is quite battle tested\u00a0and has earned her low\u00a0double digit rankings in her respective dirt division .\u00a0 Sprint \/ Classic or Long makes no difference … she is game and willing to take on\u00a0all challengers .\u00a0 Her most recent victory came last time out in The Cheap and Easy Stakes<\/U> -G3 week 2958 over 8 furlongs in 1:35 flat . 3 starts this year between 8 f – 8.5 f has generated 3 triple digit efforts , she likes the distance today and should make her presence felt late at the wire with her come – from – behind\u00a0 style .<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 In post 3 is the favorite K’s Joan Bach<\/STRONG>\u00a0 9 \/ 2\u00a0 (\u00a0Forestry\u00a0 x\u00a0 Mill Reef\u00a0 x\u00a0 Danzig\u00a0 )\u00a0 representing trainer Verdugote<\/EM> and ridden by journeyman jockey L .\u00a0 Hoskins .\u00a0 This\u00a0sensational\u00a04 yo filly has been on FIRE of late winning her last 3 starts with authority .\u00a0 All 7 starts this season have generated triple digit efforts between 8.5 and 10 furlongs and this race should be no exception .\u00a0 Her last race over this distance was at\u00a0 Mike’s Hometown Cap<\/U> -G2 in KY week 2846 with a 107 SP and a 3rd place finish .\u00a0 A graded win has been elusive for this 5x stakes winning filly and today she’s looking to break the streak .<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 In post 4 is the Czar<\/EM> trained Stormy Megan<\/STRONG>\u00a0\u00a0 6 \/ 1\u00a0 (\u00a0Forty Niner\u00a0 x\u00a0 Storm Cat\u00a0 x\u00a0 Chieftain\u00a0 ) with journeyman A . Sailor in the irons .\u00a0 What a fun filled career this 6 yo mare has had !\u00a0\u00a0 40 : 12-9-4 and still running well , this $ 1.1 Mil earner has most recently put up 1:41 3\/5 efforts over 8.5 furlongs and certainly has earned her odds today . Lets not forget she was a graded winner at 2 and this mare captured fame in 2003 when she won both the Bluegrass Oaks<\/U> -G1 and the \u00a0Black Middle Flower Stk<\/U> -G1 with authority and is still a big threat to any field .<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 In post 5 is Alluring Niner G<\/STRONG>\u00a0 20 \/ 1\u00a0 (\u00a0Forty Niner\u00a0 x\u00a0 Lure\u00a0 x\u00a0 Sharpen Up (GB) \u00a0 ) trained by Zz<\/EM> , youngster R . Foster aboard .\u00a0 With a career involving 16 starts in stakes company , this 3 yo filly has been real busy making her mark .\u00a0 She makes her jump into graded company steadily improving … yet not breaking into a triple digit SP effort to date .\u00a0 The stars will have to be in alignment to see a win today for this courageous filly , yet i feel the need to cheer her on to the wire .<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 In post 6 at a staggering\u00a0 99 \/ 1 is 7 yo mare\u00a0Hoe Nicole\u00a0<\/STRONG>(\u00a0Back Wages\u00a0 x\u00a0 Topsider\u00a0 x\u00a0 Roman Line )\u00a0representing Renegade65 <\/EM>and ridden by veteran jockey A . Roberts .\u00a0 Well … what the hell . There’s a G1 in NY and the field isn’t full so i’ll throw my mare in even though she hasn’t ever run a triple digit effort .\u00a0 The vet was called in earlier to remove the jet pack and oxygen tank strapped on this veteran racer and now she’s under her own power again . She has been eating her wheaties lately so who know’s what will happen at the wire .<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 in post 7 is 4 yo\u00a0Eyrie<\/STRONG>\u00a0 12 \/ 1\u00a0 (\u00a0Sky Mesa\u00a0 x\u00a0 Fappiano\u00a0 x\u00a0 Alydar\u00a0 )\u00a0 ridden by veteran R. Haffner and trained by Upperhand<\/EM> .\u00a0 This frontrunner loves to set\u00a0a punishing\u00a0pace and this race should be no different .\u00a0 This stake winning filly has been improving lately and her last race over 8.5 furlongs was in week 2867 Fort Lostinthewoods Misery Stakes<\/U> – G3 earning a 2nd place finish\u00a0 103 SP . Todays field can’t afford to let her get too far ahead or she’ll make em pay for it dearly in her G1 debut .<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 In post 8 is the Foxon3<\/EM> trained Forty Winx<\/STRONG>\u00a0 8 \/ 1\u00a0 (\u00a0Forty Niner\u00a0 x\u00a0 Nijinsky II\u00a0 x\u00a0 Buckpasser\u00a0 )\u00a0 veteran N . Painter gets the nod .\u00a0 She has been racing well lately , winning her last 2 starts… both\u00a0in stakes company . A graded start is the logical next step and her trainer is confidently sending her into her second career G1 appearance .\u00a0 She is a versatile runner on dirt so who knows where the crafty Foxon3<\/EM> will put her but know 1 thing , he’s always looking to win .<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 In post 9 at\u00a0 7 \/ 1 is the Lenny13<\/EM> trained Empire Reef<\/STRONG>\u00a0 (\u00a0Empire Maker\u00a0 x\u00a0 Mill Reef\u00a0 x\u00a0 Halo\u00a0 ) with journeyman B\u00a0. Reef in the irons .\u00a0 This multiple G1 winning filly is versatile indeed , winning on both surfaces in G1 company is no light boast but she can do it loudly .\u00a0 She first captured G1 glory last season wiring the Black Middle Flower<\/U> -G1 and went on to a 3rd place finish in the Breeders Bowl Distaff<\/U> -G1 leading the field to the third call but running out of steam at the wire .\u00a0 This year she has been tearing up both surfaces and returns this week to the dirt course where she is truly at her best , and why she is ranked 9 in the classic dirt division .<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 In post 10 is White Flag<\/STRONG>\u00a0 14 \/ 1\u00a0 ( Twinning\u00a0 x\u00a0 Seattle Dancer\u00a0 x\u00a0 Dayjur ) ; trained by Ryantoga<\/EM> and ridden by journeyman jockey S . Israel .\u00a0 This 5 yo mare started off fast this season winning 3 of her first 4 races . Of late she has been less than spectacular but still finishes well and makes her G1 debut in NY this week . Stalking style may\u00a0be the ticket for a good showing today .<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 In post 11 at\u00a0 6 \/ 1 is the classic divisions 5th ranked\u00a0Quiet Glory<\/STRONG>\u00a0 (\u00a0Buddha\u00a0 x\u00a0 Miswaki\u00a0 x\u00a0 Dixieland Band\u00a0) , a 4 yo Kobras3<\/EM> trained filly ridden by\u00a0track virtuoso \u00a0N . Lawton .\u00a0 She’s had 5 starts this season at 8.5 f in graded company garnering 3 wins and 2 second place finishes .\u00a0 Her last win at distance being on this same track week 2895 where she wired the field by 3 lengths in the Steadhemp Handicap<\/U> -G1 in\u00a0 1:41\u00a0 3\/5 :107 SP .\u00a0 If she goes for that kind of style look out girls …. your gonna need months to recover from this race .<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 In post 12 is the aptly named Classic<\/STRONG>\u00a0 7 \/ 1\u00a0 (\u00a0Tabasco Cat\u00a0 x\u00a0 Conquistador Cielo\u00a0 x\u00a0 Tom Fool\u00a0 )\u00a0 representing Sunkitten<\/EM> stables and ridden by veteran jockey Ax Williams .\u00a0 This 4 yo fillies last start at this distance was at this very track week 2895 in the Steadhemp Handicap<\/U> -G1 where she attempted to run down the speedster to her left in the gate . Today she is looking for revenge and I’m pretty sure she isn’t going to let her get so far ahead or it will be more of the same .\u00a0 Her biggest splash to date was in week 2832 where she dominated the 8 f\u00a0 \u00a0Boquet o’ Daisies Stakes<\/U> -G3\u00a0and came from waaaaaaayyyyy back to mow down the field by\u00a0 2-3\/4 in 1:34 flat : 111 SP\u00a0.<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 On the outside at\u00a0 6 \/ 1 is the lovely \u00a0\u00a0Filet Cheval<\/STRONG>\u00a0\u00a0(\u00a0Mineshaft\u00a0 x\u00a0 Storm Cat\u00a0 x\u00a0 Vaguely Noble\u00a0 ) \u00a0from the Hansg<\/EM> stable , the talented journeyman R. Michaels gets the nod today .\u00a0 This talented filly is out of the graded winning router : February Storm<\/STRONG> .\u00a0 A late bloomer , she has made some waves recently and is making up for lost time .\u00a0 Her latest win over 8.5 f was in week 2902 The Turpentine Ash Handicap<\/U> -Stk where she won handily in a sharp 1:41-4\/5 putting up a smart\u00a0 107 SP effort .\u00a0 She’s gonna have to keep real close to the front runners today to make her presence felt at the wire .<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The field today has a great mix of racing styles , nonetheless i believe we will see an early speed duel between\u00a0Forty Winx<\/STRONG> , Empire Reef <\/STRONG>, Eyrie <\/STRONG>and Quiet Glory<\/STRONG> . Right off the pace should be Filet Cheval<\/STRONG> , White Flag<\/STRONG> and Stormy Megan<\/STRONG> . With this much speed i would imagine early moves made\u00a0by the late runners and a mad dash with a lot of traffic to the wire .<\/DIV>
