\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Hello race fans and welcome to a special edition of Hoof Beats<\/EM> .\u00a0 The rolling hills of Kentucky loom invitingly , filled with promise and dreams unrealized for 14 trainers vying for a place in history .\u00a0 Only one name will be remembered when the results post and the\u00a0Champion’s neck is enveloped with a garland of flowers in the winners circle .\u00a0 A year of training and patiently developing a budding contender has come to\u00a0an end as this\u00a0weeks\u00a0final preparations are done and over with … all that is left is the waiting and the worry .\u00a0 This week we have the honor of covering a Breeders Bowl race in the juvenile filly dirt division .\u00a0The Breeders Bowl Juvenile Filly<\/U> -G I is set over a grueling 8.5 furlongs of fast dirt with a purse of $ 2,000,000 waiting at the wire .\u00a0 Some of these fillies are testing the waters at this distance for the first time today , a select few have been tried and successful already … definitely an advantage yet the odds would tell you differently .<\/DIV>

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The current reigning princess of the dirt division\u00a0makes her appearance today\u00a0undefeated in 3 starts including 2 G I wins running\u00a0comfortably in her heart attack late\u00a0dashes that have made her so popular .\u00a0 You’re A Towel<\/STRONG> puts it all on the line today for the Watershed<\/EM> racing stables against a star packed field , the finest gathering of\u00a0genetics and training the Sim has yet to witness .\u00a0 Challenging for supremacy are conquered\u00a0rivals \u00a0Battle Cruiser<\/STRONG> and Cybertown<\/STRONG>\u00a0\u00a0; undefeated fillies Ghostly Breeze<\/STRONG> and Braddock (IRE) , <\/STRONG># 1 ranked sprinter\u00a0 KatherineOfAragon <\/STRONG>and lets not forget the morning line favorite # 2 ranked classic <\/STRONG>filly Jacobite Hot Sauce<\/STRONG> at 5 \/ 1 representing trainer Thearkle .\u00a0 <\/EM>The fillies are all saddled up , final instructions have been given to the jockeys and the post parade is motion so lets have a look at the field .<\/DIV>

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Drawing the wood at 10 \/ 1 is Coldstone<\/STRONG>\u00a0 (\u00a0\u00a0Dixieland Band x Blushing Groom (FR) x Pleasant Colony<\/STRONG>\u00a0)\u00a0 representing trainer Lenny26<\/EM> and ridden by the masterful W . McClendon .\u00a0 This jet set filly has yet to finish off the board bringing in record of\u00a0 5: 2-2-1 and $ 207,000 in earnings .\u00a0 Her last 2 starts have been at 8.5 furlongs and won last outing week 3000 in the Camlaw Stakes<\/U> -G II in\u00a0 1:44:2\/5 garnering an 87 SP in the process .\u00a0 Ranked\u00a0# 4 in the dirt division , she is a feisty competitor and lacks nothing that you want to see in a racehorse .\u00a0 She likes to run mid pack and make a bid at the third call , today should be a very comfortable ride barring any mishaps at the start .\u00a0 With that pedigree she should have plenty of\u00a0gas in the tank for\u00a0the stretch run .<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 In post 2 at\u00a0 13 \/ 1 is the Crash77<\/EM> trained Jumping Barker<\/STRONG>\u00a0 (\u00a0Quiet American x Lion Cavern x L’ Enjoleur<\/STRONG>\u00a0 )\u00a0 ridden by California sensation B. Renfroe .\u00a0 A winner at 2nd asking , this brown filly has been on the board ever since then .\u00a0 Her juvenile record is at\u00a0 6: 2-2-1 with earnings of $ 94,000 with a 2nd place finish week 3000 in California’s Walnut Tree Stakes<\/U> -G II over 8 furlongs\u00a0 1:37 flat earning an 87 SP in the process on an off track .\u00a0 Ranked # 12 in the Classic dirt division , she has shown great improvement of late and is certainly not to be counted out of the hunt today .\u00a0 With her running style I would imagine to see her eye to eye with the filly to her left all the way to the last call .<\/DIV>

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 In post 3 at 10 \/ 1 wearing the colors of trainer Okiedokie<\/EM> is the fiery Dixie Burning <\/STRONG>(\u00a0\u00a0Dixie Union x Aptitude x Miswaki<\/STRONG>\u00a0) , California journeyman P. Harzheim gets the nod .\u00a0 A winner at second asking over 8.5 furlongs by 4 lengths , this brown filly brings a record of\u00a0 4 : 2-2-0 to the table with\u00a0 $ 87,000 in earnings to date .\u00a0 An impressive win week 2986 in The Nijinsky Scooping <\/U>Bonanza -Stk\u00a0 1:36:3\/5\u00a0 89 SP\u00a0 was the deciding factor for this fillies appearance today .\u00a0 Lack of graded experience is unlikely to hurt this # 16 ranked classic dirt competitor although a more recent appearance at 8.5 furlongs would make me feel more comfortable from a trainers standpoint .\u00a0 She is comfortable stalking the lead or running mid pack\u00a0. \u00a0I would imagine she is going to\u00a0run mid pack today given her history and distance of the race and wouldn’t blink if she makes a big splash at the end .<\/DIV>

Gossett .\u00a0 The first foal of 5x winning Stakes mare : If U Like Sal (GB)<\/STRONG> , she is making her own mark in the racing industry as a juvenile bringing an unblemished record of 3 : 3-0-0 with $ 62,000 in earnings to date .\u00a0 Her last win came by a week 2993 victory at 8.5 furlongs in\u00a0 1:44:4\/5\u00a0 83 SP for Nebraska’s The Unnecessary Shin Challenge<\/U> -Stk .\u00a0 With 5 weeks of rest she should be in excellent form for today’s challenge , Ranked # 15 in the classic dirt division and improving every start are positives in her corner for certain .\u00a0 The big unknown for this classy filly is if she has enough speed for this field although I have a feeling she will be just fine regardless of her lack of graded field experience .\u00a0 <\/DIV>

Ledwith gets the nod for his first BB appearance .\u00a0 This gray filly boasts a record of 5 : 2-2-0 with earnings in excess of $ 378,000 and is ranked # 5 in the classic dirt division .\u00a0 A graded winner at 6 furlongs , she has fallen on hard times of late losing by a nose to the # 1 ranked classic dirt filly week 2937\u00a0 KY Horsemen <\/U>Debutante – G I\u00a0 and a disastrous run week 2986 in New York The Duchess of New York<\/U> – G II in preparation for today’s race .\u00a0 A true test of heart and determination looms ahead , can she shrug off her recent misfortune and return to her winning form … the answer lies at the wire .<\/DIV>

Always game … always fast and never counted out is her mantra .<\/DIV>

Bangs in the irons .\u00a0 The Second foal of multiple stakes winning mare : Meadow Breeze<\/STRONG> , she is also the second Graded winner out of this mare !\u00a0 Undefeated in 4 races , she has earned $ 192,000 this season and is coming off a big win in week 3000 over 8 furlongs of off dirt in California’s Walnut Tree Stakes<\/U> – G II\u00a0 1:37 flat for an 87 SP effort .\u00a0 This filly is comfortable racing anywhere in the field so who knows what tricks trainer Lenny2 <\/EM>has up his sleeves this race . She’s fast\u00a0… \u00a0she’s furious\u00a0; she’s Ranked # 3 in the classic division and dangerous to underestimate .<\/DIV>

Givins aboard .\u00a0 Undefeated in 3 starts with earnings in excess of $ 921,000 , this filly is the real deal winning 2\u00a0 G I’s in her last 2 appearances including her 8.5 furlong prep in New Jersey week 3000 in the Frickazee Stakes<\/U> – G I\u00a0 1:44:3\/5\u00a0 85 SP by 2\u00a0 3\/4 lengths .\u00a0 Shadowed by the morning line betting favorite , she needs a huge effort today to retain supremacy in the juvenile classic dirt division and set the tone for her 3 yo campaign .\u00a0 She may want to be a bit closer to the pace today as well but as the mechanic says ” If it taint broke .. don’t fix it ! “<\/DIV>

A winner in 2 of her last 4 starts , this multiple graded winner never fails to put on a good show every time she steps on a racetrack .\u00a0 Her last win came by a week 3007 wire to wire victory in Massachusetts\u00a0 The Viking Son Special<\/U> -Stk over 8 furlongs\u00a0 1:36:3\/5 by\u00a0 2\u00a0 1\/4 lengths\u00a0\u00a0 89 SP .\u00a0 In this PP it’s a good bet she will go for the lead but the big question is if she will like the 8.5 furlong distance first time going .\u00a0 She is truly a gutsy filly and will certainly give a great effort as usual … will it be enough to place her name among other BB juvenile champions ?<\/DIV>
