Stakes action at Oklahoma<\/st1:place><\/st1:State> this Saturday starts off with the Queen of Longchamp Handicap.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>It is to be run over a mile and five eights over a fast track and it is for Fillies and Mares 4 years old and up.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>The purse is a solid $55,000 and it is the 10th<\/SUP> Race on the card.<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

Let\u2019s look at the field of 6.<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

ELAINE BENES<\/SPAN><\/B> (9\/2) This 5 year old mare comes off a career best 100 speed figure posted in a gate to wire win in the Putrid Capote Challenge.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>This lady has been improving rapidly under the excellent care of trainer seinfeld1<\/I>.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Seven straight ITM finishes in the 12-13 furlong range shows this horse is at the top of her game.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She gets quality jock C. Schell and although she seems to do best on the lead has show that she can come off the pace if the conditions require it.<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

IN THE BURG<\/SPAN><\/B> (14\/1) This 5 year old mare stretches out under the guidance of trainer ironstable<\/I>.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>The last few performances have been a bit below par but maybe this added distance will wake her up with Na. Lewis in the irons.<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

PJ STRONG LEGS(IRE)<\/SPAN><\/B> <\/SPAN><\/B>(11\/1) This 6 year old mare is a winner of over $250,000 and tries to add to it this Saturday.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Trainer oddbreeds<\/I> is thinking the switch from Turf to her favored Dirt surface will get her back on track again.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>I. Newberry has been slated to ride and looks to use these Strong Legs to get a 9th<\/SUP> victory for this lady.<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

BLACK PLEASURE<\/SPAN><\/B> <\/SPAN><\/B>(7\/2) This 4 year old mare looks to find her way back to the winner\u2019s circle on a fast track.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She has had a few rough races on off tracks but steps back on a fast track today. \u00a0<\/SPAN>If you toss the off track races you end up with 3 straight wins on fast surfaces including 2 stakes and a 104 speed figure.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Trainer semi<\/I> must be happy to find a fast track today and you cannot discount this horse with C. Higdon riding.<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

XTREMELY GOLD<\/SPAN><\/B> (1-1) This 6 year old mare will come ready to run.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>A winner of over 3 million and 21 wins out of 30 races surely deserves the even money odds.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Trainer grracers<\/I> has done an outstanding job of playing this lady where she needs to be.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>After claiming this one for just $25,000 grracers<\/I> managed to get multiple Grade 1 victories from her.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Truly the class of the field and a 100+ speed figure should be expected with excellent jockey G. Wendorff in the irons. <\/SPAN><\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

RANDY BREEDER<\/SPAN><\/B> (4-1) This 4 year old mare is here to run today.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>A winner of 2 of her last 4 stakes races, she seems to be on the climb for trainer bmr001<\/I>.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She will need to boost her speed figure a little today but has had a month off and gets top jock W. Cahill to do the duties.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>A horse that should not be dismissed lightly in this contest.<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

My take: Xtremely Gold<\/B> has to be thought of when considering the winner here.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>I think she is vulnerable though.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Elaine Benes<\/B> is in a good spot today.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>The only real front end speed in a short field.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She also has been improving lately and may be able to hold onto the early lead and go gate to wire.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Another one in the mix if Elaine Benes<\/B> does not steal the race is Black Pleasure<\/B>.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>The track is fast and lately that means a 100+ speed figure for her.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Should be a good race, class vs. pace vs. speed.\u00a0 <\/SPAN><\/SPAN><\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
