Three year old fillies will be running on the turf at a distance of 6 furlongs in the Equinics race which is sponsored by Comedy Central.\u00a0 This turns out to be the last race the residency will sponsor as it will become extinct like the dinosaur at the completion of the Equinics.\u00a0 This race has been named as a memorial for the residency RIP COMEDY CENTRAL.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 All residencies are paying tribute as the field is full with 20 runners, one from each of those competing in this tribute event.\u00a0 Here is a look at the participants:<\/p>\n
1\u00a0 STORM QUALITY\u00a0\u00a0 18\/1<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Minnesota Testbarn Residency may have had an easy time in selecting this filly as she is ranked 2nd<\/sup>.\u00a0 Sired by Pivotal, she has already amassed over $700k in career earnings plus a Grade 1 win that came last September in the More Glare.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 But she may have lots of question marks as her subsequent wins have been in HOT races with one in her last start in late June.\u00a0\u00a0 Despite that, it cannot be ignored that she has had top three finishes in four other stake races (two were grade level) since her G1 win.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 She\u2019s most dangerous when she is near the front.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 2\u00a0 NETWORK DREAMS\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 5\/1<\/p>\n <\/p>\n GR Simsters have found a gal that has over $380k in winnings to represent their residency.\u00a0 She is an Oasis Dream bred filly who has a very nice 6-3-1 record over a dozen starts.\u00a0\u00a0 Over her last five starts, she has won three times and finished second twice and this includes a G3 victory in the Darling Fred Stakes.\u00a0\u00a0 The other four races were listed stake events and she definitely has the experience and has the ability to take this one, currently ranked 12th<\/sup> overall.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 2\u00a0 NETWORK DREAMS\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 5\/1<\/p>\n <\/p>\n GR Simsters have found a gal that has over $380k in winnings to represent their residency.\u00a0 She is an Oasis Dream bred filly who has a very nice 6-3-1 record over a dozen starts.\u00a0\u00a0 Over her last five starts, she has won three times and finished second twice and this includes a G3 victory in the Darling Fred Stakes.\u00a0\u00a0 The other four races were listed stake events and she definitely has the experience and has the ability to take this one, currently ranked 12th<\/sup> overall.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 3\u00a0 DABIRIN\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 14\/1<\/p>\n <\/p>\n On the board in all 13 starts with a 5-4-4 record, the All-Stars Racing had a solid selection in the horse ranked 22nd<\/sup> as of this writing.\u00a0 The Dabirsim sired lady has amassed a purse totaling $320k thus far, largely from the seven listed stake starts where she has a record of 3-3-1.\u00a0\u00a0 She has set the pace in the past but has also played the stalker roll which may be her best place to be.\u00a0 Tons of front runners and if this one can sit back and find a hole, the race can be hers to steal.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 4\u00a0 HYPER VOICE\u00a0\u00a0 15\/1<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This is Comedy Central\u2019s choice for the race they are sponsoring.\u00a0 Just shy of $100k in winnings, the Dutch Art bred three year old has fared well on the turf, sporting a record of 2-2-1 in five starts.\u00a0\u00a0 Just another one who will battle for the lead she comes off a career best speed of 103.\u00a0\u00a0 This race marks her first start in any stake level which will be a challenge stepping up against better.\u00a0 But maybe she will let out her voice one last time for the residency sponsoring the race.<\/p>\n 5\u00a0 KARMA CADET\u00a0\u00a0 7\/1<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Empire State Racing selected a Tapit bred filly who recently switched from dirt to turf.\u00a0\u00a0 This gal does not have any early speed and will likely be on the back end.\u00a0 But she does sizzle coming through the stretch.\u00a0 She is 1-1-1 in three turf races and comes off a win in the allowance group going a mile.\u00a0 She shortens up in distance which is a concern as she looks formidable going longer.\u00a0 But with three sprint wins in four tries, she can be tough in the smaller distances too and looks to add to her $200 in earnings.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 6\u00a0 STAR OF THE YEAR\u00a0\u00a0 68\/1<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The NWRC believes they have found a star in their representative, other than the name.\u00a0\u00a0 This lady is the child of Star Witness and has the lowest lifetime earnings in this group ($36k).\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 She\u2019s lightly raced with five starts and made the switch to the turf in mid-March where she won two consecutive sprints.\u00a0\u00a0 Her last race was a throw-away as she was out matched and ran too far going 11f in the G1 Diana Grand Prix and finished well back.\u00a0\u00a0 She\u2019s back to sprints and she enjoys sitting in the mid-field, a place that won\u2019t be too congested.\u00a0\u00a0 Comes off a two month rest which should be beneficial after the tough race in her last start.<\/p>\n 7\u00a0\u00a0 I\u2019M AN ANGEL\u00a0\u00a0 13\/1<\/p>\n <\/p>\n A blazing hot filly who has won her last two, both listed stakes, represents the Blazing Saddles residency.\u00a0\u00a0 She\u2019s ranked in the top 100, sitting 77th<\/sup> as of this writing with over $210k in lifetime winnings.\u00a0\u00a0 This lady may end up to be the caboose in the field, but her late run talent makes her a dangerous threat to the field that is plentiful with early speedsters.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Three in a row is definitely a target this Dark Angel sired lady can achieve.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 8\u00a0 LET\u2019SDOITRIGHT\u00a0\u00a0 26\/1<\/p>\n <\/p>\n A converted turf runner is the selection to represent the DellPenn residents.\u00a0 She\u2019s sired by Article of Faith and with only three turf starts, has accelerated to be ranked 75th<\/sup>.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 This comes from winning an allowance race back in April, finishing second in a listed in May and winning her last start in June.\u00a0 Just a slice over $270 in earnings to her credit, she does have front running ability but also has displayed some patience and laid off the early speed.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 They say \u2018patience is a \u2018virute\u2019 and that may be the right thing to do<\/p>\n 9\u00a0 VT PRESIDENT\u00a0\u00a0 14\/1<\/p>\n The representative from the Vermont residency just completed a pair of listed race victories and has won four of six turf races which includes a third.\u00a0\u00a0 The Redoute\u2019s Choice bred runner has over $200k in earnings and is nicely ranked 95th<\/sup> as of this writing.\u00a0 Early speedster will give it her all to wire the field once again.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 10\u00a0 AT LEAST THAT MUCH\u00a0\u00a0 21\/1<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Megalopolis has chosen an Exceed and Excel sired filly to represent their residency. \u00a0This lady has just shy of $100k in earnings.\u00a0 She\u2019s a bit of a rarity in this field with three wins.\u00a0 She has one win on each surface (dirt, turf, poly) with her last race resulting in a win on the poly.\u00a0\u00a0 She has ten career starts with only two being in sprints, her first two lifetime outings.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 She\u2019ll be one of a few horses running on the backside of the field and hoping to fire up the guns late to catch the fast running rabbits in this event<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 11 \u00a0\u00a0EXCEL OF GIBRALTAR\u00a0\u00a0 15\/1<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The filly representing the Sim Hispano residency loves the turf as is evidenced by her wonderful 3-3-2 record on the surface.\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0She\u2019s earned over $120k and kicked off 2016 with a three race win streak that came to an end in her only stake race where she finished second.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 As a 2\/1 co-favorite in her last start, she was a bit disappointing finishing third and not making up any ground, running rather flatly.\u00a0\u00a0 Gal has potential and should find good positioning early on to keep her within striking distance of the leaders.\u00a0 She\u2019s sired by Exceed and Excel.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 12\u00a0 NONPAREIL PUMPKIN\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 18\/1<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This 27th<\/sup> ranked Giant\u2019s Causeway filly will be representing the Racing\u00a0 HQ residency.\u00a0\u00a0 Despite over $260k in earnings and four career wins, this gal has had a tough time of late.\u00a0\u00a0 She won the G3 Nell Gwyn Stakes back in April but the last three starts (all G3) have yielded poor results.\u00a0 She likes to stalk the early runners and then run them down in the stretch, a strategy she\u2019s used in each of these G3 races.\u00a0 Prior to these starts, she battled to be the pace setter.\u00a0\u00a0 Being the stalker in this race may be a good idea as there are so many pace setters, they burn themselves out, giving this one an irresistible opportunity.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 13\u00a0 MARCI\u2019S THE BRIDE\u00a0 \u00a027\/1<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Starting her career in late December, 2015 this representative of the Midas residency got off to a rough start, finishing fourth and fifth in her first two starts.\u00a0 But the headlights were turned on as her racing style changed from running in mid-field to running at the front end where she has won three straight races.\u00a0 \u00a0The New Approach bred filly comes in off a three-month break and whether or not she will be fresh for this big event will only be shown on the track as she tries to add to her earnings that are slightly below $100k.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 14\u00a0 KINGDOM OF WIRE\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 13\/1<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The East-West Connection brings a daughter of Animal Kingdom as their representative.\u00a0 She\u2019s been in excellent form, winning four of her last six starts.\u00a0 Her last two outings were wins which includes her first venture into a listed stake race.\u00a0\u00a0 She is just a shade shy of $150k in lifetime winnings and looks to be another one that will be engaged in the front end battle.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 She\u2019s never lost a race where she was in the lead at the half-way marker.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 15\u00a0\u00a0 EVIL BEING\u00a0\u00a0 20\/1<\/p>\n <\/p>\n An interesting entrant who will represent the Unversal Race Club is the Touch Gold filly who has only raced twice in sprints in 13 races.\u00a0\u00a0 She comes off a dirt win in a HOT race at 12f which was more of a prep race to keep her in condition coming into this big event.\u00a0 She loves to be up front and may engage in a multi-horse battle for the top spot.\u00a0 Her last start was a second place finish in her only stake try where she was caught in the final furlong going a mile.\u00a0\u00a0 She drops back to sprint for the first time since September, 2015 looking for her fourth career win and some cash to add to her $146 earned so far.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 16\u00a0 ANGANBODA\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a013\/1<\/p>\n <\/p>\n A front runner who will desire to set the pace, the Euro residency has made this lady their choice.\u00a0\u00a0 She changed her race style in the last start, running in the mid-field and closed to finish third in the listed 7.5f race.\u00a0 Just over $160k in winnings, she has collected a bundle of wins in her 10 starts.\u00a0 Four have been in sprints with one in routes for a total of five.\u00a0\u00a0 There\u00a0 may be other better options to go with in this field, but this Candy Ride filly will be grinding it out all the way.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 17\u00a0 DARCI IMPACT\u00a0\u00a0 21\/1<\/p>\n <\/p>\n A nice selection made by the Elite residency going with a 62nd<\/sup> ranked sprinter sired by Darci Brahma.\u00a0 She\u2019s got a nice 3-4-0 record in 8 turf outings.\u00a0 Her last three have been listed stakes where she has won twice and beat by a head in her last event.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The winner of over $250k is a gal who wants to command the way the race goes by being the pacesetter.\u00a0\u00a0 Her form has been very good of late but will need to outbest a lot of others who also want to be in that top spot early on.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 18\u00a0\u00a0 SAY SAYONARA\u00a0\u00a0 20\/1<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Queenland is sending a Rothesay bred filly to be their representative who has just surpassed $100k in earnings.\u00a0\u00a0 She has only six starts picking up four wins and a second.\u00a0 The only off-board finish came in April where she raced with older horses and was surpassed in the stretch.\u00a0\u00a0 Liking to run up front is her style and hopefully she can say \u2018sayonara\u2019 to the others by crossing the line first.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 19\u00a0\u00a0 MONTEX\u00a0\u00a0 16\/1<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The British and Nordic Racing Club, after considering all nominees, voted this winner of $250k as their representative.\u00a0 The Excelebration bred filly has had a lot of success on the turf track as shown by her 5-3-1 record in 11 starts.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 She has won three of her last four and is on a two race win streak.\u00a0\u00a0 Hard to tell where this 38th<\/sup> ranked filly will be spotted in the early stages as she will either run mid-field or strive for the front end.\u00a0 There are enough front runners in this race, so I think her best shot is from the mid-field location.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 20\u00a0 \u00a0LEVINE\u00a0\u00a0 12\/1<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The daughter of Pivotal and representing the Ehteam residency may proof to be underrated.\u00a0 She\u2019s been terrific on the grass and has a record of 3-6-1 in ten career starts.\u00a0\u00a0 Last two races were in listed stakes where she finished second and is coming off a win with an impressive 104 speed.\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0Earnings have surged through the $210k level and it looks like she\u2019ll be one of many battling for the lead in this one.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n My Picks:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The favorite Network Dreams will be tough, flashing a top speed of 108 in last, has a G3 win earlier ths year and is out of award winning game mare Network News, gains top spot.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Levine, one of the speed rockets in the field, has finished first or second in nine of ten races.\u00a0 Hates to be beaten and gets second choice.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Kingdom of Wire will be near the lead and could benefit greatly if she doesn\u2019t duke it out with others.\u00a0 Won four of last five equals formidable opponent, third choice.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I\u2019m An Angel has very strong late run ability and ran down the field in last two for wins, can repeat, fourth choice.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Three year old fillies will be running on the turf at a
