The DRIVING HOME Challenge Stakes<\/strong>
Six Furlongs on Good Turf
$60,000
Fillies, 2 years old and up<\/font>
We are here in beautiful New Hampshire enjoying the crisp autumn weather and also the young fillies working out for the The DRIVING HOME Challenge Stakes Race named for 7 times winner and Stakes Placed mare DRIVING HOME. She has also thrown a Stakes winner in NEXIS RAINBOW. This six furlong turf race may be run on an off track as the weatherman has predicted a few showers so half of these ladies will be facing an off track for the first time. We\u2019ve got a nicely matched field and most seem to be part of the Raider Nation. Let\u2019s take a look:<\/p>\n

#1 REAL MEAN RAIDER trainer \u2013 Raider5, ( 8\/5), Jockey \u2013 N.Dodds (11%), Avg Sp # (74.5) <\/strong><\/font>
Nice looking GOLDEN MISSILE filly that has won three times on off tracks and has two Stakes wins in a row to her credit. Trainer Raider5 knows his filly and seems to follow the weatherman to find where the raindrops are for this girl. She has Dodds in the saddle and he is quite capable with these youngsters. If you throw out the DelPenn Mile, she has four wins in a row and should be tough to beat here. <\/p>\n

#2 RAIDER THEME trainer \u2013 Raider99, ( 7\/2), Jockey \u2013 P.Word (8%), Avg Sp # (N\/A) <\/strong><\/font>
DANZIG CONNECTION filly that has been very competitive but only won her maiden last time out in her sixth race. She had a nice but not outstanding 76 SPF and that could compete here. She has run in the slop one time and finished third on a tough track. Raider99 has to wonder about her favorite distance as she has been all over the board that way. She is moving to the turf for the first time. Jockey Word has been struggling this year so that may not help things.<\/p>\n

#3 CAP POLONIA trainer \u2013 Dundey, ( 5\/1), Jockey \u2013 Sa.Mathis (10%), Avg Sp # (69.3) <\/strong><\/font>
This filly is out of successful broodmare WOOD BUTCHERING who has a couple of Stakes worthy offspring. She ran her first Stakes race last time out and just missed with a late charge to finish second. She had a respectable 74 SPF. She has seen an off track and seemed to like it as that was her maiden victory two back. Trainer Dundey knows how to saddle \u2018em and jockey Mathis knows how to ride \u2018em so this could be a formidable team.<\/p>\n

#4 CAPE CRUSADERS(IRE) trainer \u2013 Leechy1, ( 7\/2), Jockey \u2013 B.Alexander (6%), Avg Sp # (N\/A) <\/strong><\/font>
This CAPE CROSS (IRE) x NINISKI x PERSIAN BOLD filly is running her very first race. She has Alexander in the irons who has been struggling so it is hard to recommend this pair until you\u2019ve seen her race a couple of times. We will be watching!<\/p>\n

#5 DAYMAANI trainer \u2013 Haymaker, ( 8\/1), Jockey \u2013 P.Haynes (21%), Avg Sp # (N\/A) <\/strong><\/font>
Another first time starter that has interesting breeding with DUMAANI x DAYLAMI (IRE) x ROYAL ACADEMY. She also has the tracks best jockey holding the reins which is always a plus especially with these young runners. Trainer Haymaker has to have his hopes up for this pair.<\/p>\n

#6 RAIDER PREFERED trainer \u2013 Raider94, ( 9\/2), Jockey \u2013 B.Soft (10%), Avg Sp # (N\/A) <\/strong><\/font>
The last of our Raider Nation entries, this STORMIN FEVER offspring is moving to the turf for the first time after finally winning her maiden last time out. Trainer Raider94 must have seen something in that race that makes him want to change surfaces. Jockey Soft has had a solid season and loves the turf so that may help.<\/p>\n

Morning Line = 1-2-4-6-3<\/strong>
Yoss Tipsheet = 1-2-3-6<\/strong>
Paz Picks = 1-3-6-2<\/strong>
With all of the first time starters and change in surfaces, it is tough to pick here but I like two horses a lot over the others. I think that CAP POLONIA<\/b> should contend throughout but I can\u2019t see anyone that can beat REAL MEAN RAIDER <\/b> in this race. She not only likes to play in the muck but she is on top of her game right now as well. She looks like a pretty solid bet.<\/p>\n

Good luck to all runners!<\/p>\n
