after computer generated names that went to horses before the advent of breeding such as <I style=\"mso-bidi-font-style: normal\">The Person Roger<\/I>.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0

has won two of her last eight starts.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>On the negative side they were both allowance races and this is quite a class jump and her only recent graded

only managed two wins over the last year.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She likes the distance, is another that is extremely well bred, comes from an excellent barn and has a good

those starts.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Her worst finish in her last eight was a third and that consistency is what every trainer looks for in a horse.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun:

style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN><B style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal\">Agadoo<\/B> has only won three of her 18 starts and will not be carrying an Einstein of a rider this week, but she
