Saturday\u2019s feature in California is the Grade One Movieland Starlet for two year old fillies going a mile and one sixteenth on a fast dirt course.\u00a0 The race will be run for a purse of $750,000 and drew a field of fourteen.\u00a0 The race became substantially more competitive when division leader Swapsco Kitty opted to take on the boys in the male counterpart to this race, the Movieland Futurity on Sunday.\u00a0 That opened things up to a number of strong fillies in this spot, none of whom have won a grade one race up to this point in their careers (Swapsco Kitty has been dominating most of those wins this year).\u00a0 Let\u2019s take a look at the field.<\/p>\n
