For the first time in Breeders’ Bowl history,\u00a0 Keeneland Race Course in Lexington,\u00a0 Kentucky,\u00a0 will host this year’s series of championship races,\u00a0 culminating with the Breeders’ Bowl Classic.\u00a0 To get the second day of racing off to a roaring start we present the G1 Breeders’ Bowl Juvenile Filly.\u00a0 A full field of fourteen freshman fillies will skirmish over 8.5 furlongs (or ~1700 meters for those metrically inclined) for the winning share of the $1,500,000 purse and lay claim to the end of year awards.\u00a0 Ten of the fourteen are Kentucky breds,\u00a0 so the hometown breeders have a very strong hand in this event. \u00a0<\/span>
\n.<\/span>
\nThere are four reigning G1 champions in this group,\u00a0 headed by the lone millionaire and division leader,\u00a0 Swapsco Kitty.\u00a0 Her owner\/trainer,\u00a0 nycowboy told me during a\u00a0 backstretch chat, ” It is an excellent group of fillies,\u00a0 I hope to have the best filly in the field and be the winner of this year’s BB Juvy Filly.”\u00a0\u00a0 I’m sure everyone in the field shares the same sentiment.\u00a0 Who will add their name to the list of winners (see end of article) of this event ?\u00a0 Let’s take a closer look at the runners,\u00a0 and also get some of the owner\/trainer perspectives from the “interviews” we were able to conduct. \u00a0<\/span>
\n.<\/span>
\nI’m going to depart from my usual\u00a0 “in post position order” review of the runners;\u00a0 here goes in some kind of order. \u00a0<\/span>

\n.<\/span>
\nTo get this off on the right foot I thought starting with the number one ranked freshman dirt filly would be a no brainer,\u00a0 so … \u00a0<\/span>
\n.<\/span>
\nWe got a chance to sit and chat with Kitty’s owner\/trainer, vegasbuzz<\/strong> (master stable nycowboy<\/strong>) as he was relaxing outside his barn,\u00a0 with all the heavy work completed.\u00a0\u00a0 “Back in March, I had a DS share of Saint Ballado and I desired to scratch breed a good horse. I’ve been doing good with SB. Doing some research I saw Scat Daddy available at a good price and combine them with Broad Brush as DDS … a good blood line in real life and on the Sim as well.\u00a0 A great filly was born on the Sim,\u00a0 Swapsco Kitty,\u00a0 winner of two G1 and a\u00a0 G2.\u00a0 I can’t help it, but every time I watch Swapsco Kitty running I think on\u00a0 I Won’t Look Back.\u00a0\u00a0 Her name is a combination of Island Kitty and Miss Swapsco from her own pedigree. “<\/span>
\n.<\/span>
\nBay filly took her 2nd straight G1 event last time out,\u00a0 wearing down the leader to get up at\u00a0 this route in the Walnut Tree Stakes,\u00a0 notching a 99 SP# moving from mid-pack.\u00a0 She ran a very similar race one back of that,\u00a0 triumphing in the G1 Dell Computer Debutante at 7 panels,\u00a0 nabbing a 96 SP#.\u00a0 She settled for 2nd best in her previous start,\u00a0 the G3 Trixy Delight’s Special at a mile,\u00a0 nailing a 100 SP# with what’s become her customary trip.\u00a0 Top ranked filly faces some new shooters here as well as Arc Weld,\u00a0 who she narrowly bested last out;\u00a0 should be prominent in the lane,\u00a0 the one to beat.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span>

\nNext let’s try a “feel good” story,\u00a0 no brainer or not. <\/span>
\n.<\/span>
\nWe caught up with new trainer awkwardandchai4<\/strong> during morning workouts on the backstretch.\u00a0 and got his thoughts on the race and Derby Fever.\u00a0 ” I’ve only been playing the game for ten months and I am lucky enough to have a horse make it to the Breeder’s Bowl.\u00a0 When I bred her, I wanted to try Creative Cause, because he was one of my selections in the Kentucky Derby a couple of years ago. I used Spectacular Bid because he’s Spectacular Bid and I was so excited his DS share was only 98 credits. I spent half a day searching for a DDS I liked and when I came across Indian Charlie, I was stoked. My filly is fast and has never been headed the first 4 furlongs of all of her races. I stepped up to Grade I because I thought she’d get an easy lead going\u00a0 8.5F and might be able to sustain her front-run, which she did to my delight.”\u00a0 Nicely done awkwardandchai.<\/span>
\n.<\/span>
\nLight grey speedster wired the G1 The Darley at this trip over this strip,\u00a0 snaring a 93 SP# in major prep for this spot.\u00a0 In her previous outing she held 3rd at 6 panels in the Dublin Lass listed stakes after setting all the pace,\u00a0 snagging an 86 SP#.\u00a0 One before that she led for three calls before tiring to 6th in the G2 Hoserhead Juvenile Fillies at 6.5 panels,\u00a0 scoring an 82 SP#.\u00a0 Should be forwardly placed if not leading early,\u00a0 horse for the course could go on with it. <\/span>

\nThird up, it\u00a0 only seemed natural to take a closer look at the three horse entry from three different trainers from the triple threat super racing operation.<\/span>
\n.<\/span>
\nSaddling A Breeders’ Bowl starter would be a great thrilll for many,\u00a0 but sending three ? in the same race ???.\u00a0 Wow,\u00a0 somebody is doing something right.\u00a0 We got Jeff (whirlwind) to share a “bit” with us when we just happened to stop by the barn with a cooler of cold ones. Said Jeff:\u00a0 ” I don’t know that I have a great deal of insight here, all 3 fillies … are improving racehorses and appear to be maturing and getting better at the right time.\u00a0 We have won this race in the past with Lindy Hop in 2010 and over the years have proven we know how to get horses to the big dance.\u00a0 Breeders Bowl day has always been weird for us, plenty of runners every year and 6 or 7 wins over the years, which is pretty lucky considering, but for some reason horses I thought were mortal locks, SUPER GOLD, RHIBUS, CARNIVAL OF LOVE, NO APAGUES LA LUZ, BANNER, and LATTITUDE to name a few, just missed on BB Day.<\/span>
\n.<\/span>
\nThe race actually sets up pretty well for our group.\u00a0 Sophia & Billie should sit just off the pace early and Billie will start her move after 4 furlongs and Sophia will be advancing at 5 panels and if Plage is within 3 lengths of the leader at the 1\/4 pole, watch out, she will be flying in the lane home.<\/span>
\n.<\/span>
\nAll three are pretty nicely bred, both BH & PDT are out of stakes winning mares and Sophia Loren’s dam’s dam was Lana Turner, who missed winning the Triple Tiara by less than two lengths.<\/span>
\n.<\/span>
\nI guess we will see what we’ll see but I do think we have a pretty good hand going in to the race and it would be pretty cool to see the flaming skull & crossbones silks in the winner’s circle.\u00a0 This will be the 11th consecutive year that super will have multiple runners on the Breeders’\u00a0 Bowl card and we have had great success with the various juvenile races.\u00a0 Our little group has always been about juvenile and spring classics racing, so for us, this is when it really starts to get interesting .”<\/span>
\n.<\/span>
\nThanks,\u00a0 Jeff.\u00a0 By the way the other two members of super are topicount and afc.<\/span>

\nCame on well for 2nd to Damasquerade in the G1 The Darley at this route over this oval in most recent try,\u00a0 busting a 90 SP# in her very first grade\/group effort.\u00a0 Ghostzapper gal,\u00a0\u00a0 out of the sim-mare Ava Gardner (by Bernardini x Street Cry) won a NW2L allowance one back of that,\u00a0 clocking an 83 SP#\u00a0 in a pace pressing run.\u00a0 Bay beauty got nailed on the line when 2nd in a NW2L allowance in previous out,\u00a0 catching an 82 SP# over this racing strip.\u00a0 Twinoaks<\/strong> trainee is on the improve,\u00a0 twice 2nd on this oval;\u00a0 part of the three horse super1 entry.\u00a0 contender. <\/span>

\nClose 3rd last out in the G1 Frickazee Stakes at a mile behind Redd Rocks and stablemate Plage De Tahiti,\u00a0 knocking down a 90 SP# from just off the early leaders.\u00a0 Dubawi dame,\u00a0 out of the G2 winning sim-mare Lena Horne (by Bernardini x Storm Cat),\u00a0 was an OK 5th one back of that in the G3 The Chicago DC Lassie behind A Prize She Makes at 8 furlongs,\u00a0 grabbing a 91 SP# in a mid-pack run.\u00a0 In her prior start she backed up to 10th in the G2 Hoserhead Juvenile Filly in her first grade\/group try,\u00a0 posting a 78 SP#.\u00a0 Gets an extra sixteenth here and lots of early lick to chase,\u00a0 can be right there for trainer bunsay<\/strong>. <\/span>

\nAfter finishing with whirlwind we were lucky to catch jarrod3<\/strong> (master stable corza<\/strong>) on his way to wherever he was going,\u00a0 and he quickly gave us the scoop on his filly. <\/span>
\n.<\/span>
\n“How’d That Happen was bred after watching late night UK racing & noticing the early two year old races were dominated by the sire Kodiac.\u00a0 I bred her with the intention of getting an early two year old on the turf,\u00a0 got the early bit right.\u00a0 Probably a bit out of her depth here & better suited to shorter races. But you gotta be in it to win it. ”\u00a0 Indeed ! \u00a0<\/span>
\n.<\/span>
\nChestnut filly tired badly last out to 12th in the G1 Frickazee Stakes at a mile behind some in here,\u00a0 getting a 77 SP# while involved early.\u00a0 She may have bounced off a big effort one back of that when 3rd in the G1 Getaway Stakes at 7 panels behind The Joy Never Ends,\u00a0 garnering a 91 SP# while setting all the pace.\u00a0 Kodiac kid,\u00a0 out of the sim-mare Blushing Niner (by Forty Niner x Blushing John) was the winner of the G2 Stoker Handicap at 6.5 furlongs in her prior run,\u00a0 grabbing a 93 SP# in a pace pressing performance.\u00a0 Should be involved in the early pace struggle, but jarrod3<\/strong> trainee may find it tough holding on late.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span>

\nAnother relatively new player with his first Breeders’ Bowl entry is hellholt<\/strong> (master stable\u00a0 zia<\/strong> ),\u00a0 trainer of A Prize She Makes.\u00a0 We ran into him and some of his family at a local watering hole,\u00a0 and as you can imagine,\u00a0 the zia family members were surely enjoying the lead up to the weekend.\u00a0 The background noise has rendered my recorder useless,\u00a0 so I hope I get this right. <\/span>
\n.<\/span>
\nZia:\u00a0 ” I have only been playing the sim since Dec 2013.\u00a0 As for my filly she is my first and only graded winner and coincidentally is also the first graded\u00a0 winner for her sire Pure Prize. A Prize She Makes barely edged out Ryan’s ( lenny ) excellent filly Bronzegate in that G3 victory in Sep and I’ve been sweating bullets ever since waiting to see if she makes the final cut.\u00a0 If she makes into the race it would, of course, be my first BB appearance. She could give the favorites some trouble late in race as she does possess a hard late kick.<\/span>
\n.<\/span>
\nOn a side note I get to enjoy this game with many friends and family who have taken a big interest in the sim in the last two years. My family has always come from a rail bird background so the sim was a fantasy come true for myself and my father (who also has his first BB entry in the Turf Classic named Chaps Groom), my uncle (fishstix),\u00a0 girlfriend of six years (psalms), and also my good friend Daniel (3dddz).\u00a0 I hail from Albuquerque NM and\u00a0 (we) have formed a little New Mexico crew and we all enjoy the sim tremendously.” <\/span>
\n.<\/span>
\nThanks to the zia<\/strong> family for the great time we had during the “interview”.<\/span>

\nBay babe made her grade\/group stakes debut a winning one last out in the G3 The Chicago DC Lassie at a mile,\u00a0 flying down the straight from last of fourteen to get up late,\u00a0 cashing a 94 SP#.\u00a0\u00a0 Scratch bred Pure Prize papoose (by Broad Brush x Raise A Native},\u00a0 ran out of ground one back of that when 3rd at 6.5 furlongs in tne Friendly Mary listed stakes over this strip,\u00a0 casting an 82 SP# with another from the clouds performance.\u00a0 In her previous start she got up late to win a NW1x allowance at 6.5 panels,\u00a0 earning a 71 SP#.\u00a0 Only try over this oval was OK,\u00a0 will need to work out a smooth trip facing faster,\u00a0 will probably be that blur you see coming for home. \u00a0<\/span>

\nWe employed the “full cooler” ploy again and it worked like a charm,\u00a0 as we got a long time Sim-player to share the back story of his filly with us. <\/span>
\n.<\/span>
\n” Hi ric480. I’ve been around the SIM a long time. I’m actually qwikvett<\/strong>. The stables under zzombie<\/strong> were stables I had my son run back in the day but he’s out of the game so I run them now. <\/span>
\n.<\/span>
\nI was looking for new blood to fill these empty stables and ran across this filly in a 25k claimer. I liked the SP she put up in her 2nd start. I thought it was really good for that early in the year. I saw she was put in a stakes against the boys and while she didn’t place well she ran a faster SP. I couldn’t understand why she was put in any claimer so I put in my bid and won what was I think a 16 way shake. I immediately put her in a grade 2 with other fillies and she ran big. Her next race out I decided against going to a Grade I Sprint and entered her in another Grade 2. I have experience with prepping for BB races so I was looking for points. She ran pretty evenly but I was ok with it. My next move had to be a route race in a\u00a0 Grade I and I timed it so I had a choice of prep races. I went with the Walnut Tree and she ran a huge 2nd to guarantee a spot in the BB.<\/span>
\n.<\/span>
\nShe’s won 3 lifetime, but hasn’t won for me yet. Of course I expect big odds again, and I’m hoping her first win for me will be the big one. If she can make the lead, look out.”<\/span>
\n.<\/span>
\nThanks quikvett.\u00a0 The full cooler move works again – go figure. \u00a0<\/span>
\n.<\/span>
\n$25,000 claim four back winds up in the Breeders’ Bowl.\u00a0 Bay Custom For Carlos chick,\u00a0 out of the sim-mare Wavy (by Curlin x Broad Brush) was an excellent 3rd last out behind Swapsco Kitty and Arc Weld in the G1 Walnut Tree,\u00a0 garnering a 97 SP# setting all the pace,\u00a0 beaten less than 2L.\u00a0 One back of that she was an even 5th at 6.5 furlongs in the G2 The Iron Deck,\u00a0 grabbing an 83 SP#.\u00a0 In her previous outing she settled for 2nd after getting the lead late in the G2 Lean Machine Stakes first off the claim,\u00a0 gaining an 86 SP# in a pace pressing run.\u00a0 Runner from the zzombie<\/strong> racing barn should be part of the early pace tussle;\u00a0 further improvement could put her right there at the finish,\u00a0 providing for a wonderful rags to riches story. <\/span>
\n.<\/span>
\n.<\/span>
\nUnluckily,\u00a0 I was unable to track down the trainers of the rest of the field.\u00a0 Here they are without the embellishments.\u00a0 Still have a full cooler here – what to do,\u00a0 what to do ?<\/span>
