\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Hello race fans and welcome to another addition of Hoof Beats<\/EM> coming your way by chilly Ontario this week\u00a0to cover the 7 th\u00a0 annual running of the \u00a0I’m Lost Handicap<\/U> – G2 for 3 yo fillies on a firm 10 furlongs of turf .\u00a0 Every year we look to see if a trainer will step up to capture this event for a second time but alas … no such luck this year again .\u00a0 The honor of this race will go to the trainer most committed to excellence and who know’s … maybe a return next year to become the FIRST to win it twice . The time to beat is\u00a0 2:01:2\/5 set in 2003 by the Battlers<\/EM> trained Ice Queen (IRE)<\/STRONG> whom dropped some jaws in her unequalled romp to capture a great Sim legacy .\u00a0 The bar is definitely set … but records are meant to be broken and it is only a matter of time before a savvy trainer goes after the glory to be gained in this longtime Sim milestone .<\/DIV>

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 On the rail at 12 \/ 1 is Waremblem8<\/EM> trained filly Laphroaig\u00a0 <\/STRONG>(\u00a0Tapit x Honor Grades x Mr. Prospector\u00a0 ) out of Stakes winning mare \u00a0La Pro <\/STRONG>and\u00a0ridden by crafty veteran jockey Mo Johnson .\u00a0 After an uneventfull Juvenile career she has turned it up a notch in her freshman season 8: 2-2-1 both sprinting and routing on dirt and turf .\u00a0 Her only stakes appearance was week 2937 in California over 9 furlongs of turf in The Flash of Lightning Stakes<\/U> -Stk with a 5th place finish .\u00a0 She has really matured of late and her last effort over 11 furlongs netted a place and a 97 SP effort .\u00a0 She may just ignite today over this distance in her 2nd career stakes appearance .<\/DIV>

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 In post 2 at\u00a0 99 \/ 1 is longshot Black Sam Mambo (IRE)<\/STRONG> (\u00a0Black Sam Bellamy )IRE) x Kingmambo x Riverman )\u00a0\u00a0 from the Fattz<\/EM> stables and ridden by journeyman N . Rhodes .\u00a0 This filly makes a big jump in class today in her debut performance at Stakes level .\u00a0 She has yet to win a race this year at any level but she did have a 2nd place performance on dirt week 2951 over 8 furlongs .\u00a0 I’m pretty sure this race is just a stepping stone to longer future races and who know’s … she may just have a career day .<\/DIV>

Townsend gets the nod .\u00a0 This leggy brown filly is no stranger to\u00a0class competition in her freshman season racking up 7 straight Stakes + appearances .\u00a0 Her last win over 10.5 furlongs coming in week 2937 in The Fast Slew Stakes<\/U> -Stk where she fought for the lead early and cruised home thereafter to win by 2 1\/4\u00a0 2:09.2\/5\u00a0 103 SP\u00a0.\u00a0 That kind of strategy could net not only a win but a record time perhaps today .<\/DIV>

Muncie aboard .\u00a0 This multiple stakes placed filly won first asking on turf her 2 yo season but switched to dirt later and gained a 2nd place finish first asking in The Forty Niner Buda Stakes<\/U> -Stk .\u00a0 Her freshman season has been a mix of both surfaces and has really taken a shine to the grass lately winning her last 2 races .\u00a0 She has yet to break into the stakes win column but with her breeding .. the extra distance might be just what the doctor ordered to ignite this filly .<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 In post 5 at\u00a0 7 \/ 1 is the second co-second choice \u00a0Getting It<\/STRONG>\u00a0 (\u00a0Dynaformer x Seattle Slew x Buckpasser\u00a0)\u00a0 from the stables of Peter12<\/EM> with track sensation B. Renfroe in the irons .\u00a0 This filly found her calling last year when she came alive first time on turf in The Rainbow Bridge II Special<\/U> -Stk coming from the back and gaining a 3rd place finish .\u00a0 Her Freshman season has been all grass and she is lovin it winning her last 3 of 4 starts in a convincing manner including her last appearance in the Freiermuth<\/U> -G3\u00a0 week 2979\u00a0 2:03 over 10 furlongs .\u00a0 Improving is a valuable quality and this filly certainly has it , no wondering why she is at the odds she totes today … she has earned it .<\/DIV>

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 In post 7 is Dyna Shore\u00a0<\/STRONG>8 \/ 1\u00a0\u00a0(\u00a0Green Desert x Dynaformer x Sadler’s Wells\u00a0)\u00a0 .\u00a0 Trained by Poppoptwo<\/EM> , she is ridden by journeyman jockey R. Parker .\u00a0 This filly is lightly raced and has really found her stride routing winning 3 of 4 .\u00a0 Her last start was at 10 furlongs where she won by a nose week 2965 in The She Shanty (GB) Special<\/U> -Stk\u00a0\u00a0 2:03 flat where she worked her way from way back to gain the victory .\u00a0 I don’t think she can afford to run that kind of race today ,\u00a0 she will have to stay a bit closer to the pace .<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 In post 8 representing trainer Runshilohb<\/EM> is the third co-second choice \u00a0Junk Collector (IRE) <\/STRONG>7 \/ 1\u00a0 (\u00a0Perfect Soul (IRE) x Spinning World x Dynaformer\u00a0) with hard luck veteran T.

She won first asking to start off her freshman year but has been either 2nd or 3rd lately .\u00a0 Her last 2 starts have been at 10 and 10.5 furlongs garnering duo 2nd place finishes . She has yet to break into the win column where Stakes + company is concerned but today could certainly be the day\u00a0.<\/DIV>

LeVan .\u00a0 \u00a0This well bred filly won first asking last year with her other 4 starts gaining two 3rd place finishes .. all on dirt . Fast forward to freshman season … it has been a mix of dirt and turf appearances with 3 of her 4 wins coming from 9 furlongs +\u00a0 .\u00a0 Her only 10 furlong start came week 2930 in G1 company over a ” Good ” Dubai dirt course in the Hummingbird<\/U> -G1\u00a0 2:02:4\/5 and a 7th place finish .\u00a0 Today it’s firm turf while coming off a wire to wire victory last outing week 2972 .<\/DIV>

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 In post 12\u00a0 at 7 \/ 1 is Mas As<\/STRONG>\u00a0 (\u00a0Fusaichi Pegasus x Storm Cat x Zamboni )\u00a0 from Rheffisimo<\/EM> racing stable , ridden today by sharp journeyman C. Brubaker .\u00a0 This royally bred filly was unraced as a 2 yo , making her first start earlier this season on dirt winning 1 in 5 .\u00a0 Making the switch to turf she won first asking and has been on a tear winning 3 of 6 in Allowance ranks .\u00a0 She makes her Graded debut in a rough crowd with questions to be answered ,\u00a0 jetting across the pond to take on North American class in one of the Sim’s oldest races .<\/DIV>
