Okay, youse guys.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>There was this dame horse once, see?\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Her name was Mob Moll.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She wasn\u2019t always the fastest horse in the race, and sometimes even when she was, certain things would occasionally happen whereby a longshot some wiseguys liked would win.<\/P>

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

Certain friends of friends appreciate favors done, and so we have this nice race named after that nice horse.\u00a0 <\/SPAN><\/P>

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

For the third year in a row it\u2019s attracted a very nice field of fillies, and I know a guy who knows a guy who assures me this race totally legit.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Capisce?<\/P>

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

I got a friend to look at the horses:<\/P>

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

PP1.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>MAGNIFICIENT WORLD(JPN)\u00a0 <\/SPAN><\/SPAN><\/STRONG>(AGNES WORLD x MR. PROSPECTOR x DAMASCUS<\/st1:place><\/st1:City>)\u00a0 <\/SPAN>bred and trained by Snappa3<\/I><\/B> (25%)\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Odds: 5-1<\/P>

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

After being patiently taken though her conditions by an expert barn, she tried stakes level for the first time last outing.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She was fourth against a field that included six stakes winners.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>The experience should do her good, and she shortens up slightly to her favorite distance.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She has the second fastest speed figure at seven furlongs here.<\/P>

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

PP2.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>XTRA DEEP INSIDE(KY)\u00a0 <\/SPAN><\/SPAN><\/STRONG>(SMARTY JONES x DUBAI MILLENNIUM (GB) x ALYDAR)\u00a0 <\/SPAN>bred and trained by EJDStable<\/I><\/B> (26%)\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Odds: 5-1<\/P>

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

Color me Xtremely surprised to see the return of this stable, though not at all surprised to see that the return has been Xtremely successful.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>This filly is two for three against large fields and steps up to stakes for the first time.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She got off to a huge early lead last time; she should encounter some pressure today.<\/P>

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

PP3.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>CHASING THE WIND(KY)\u00a0 <\/SPAN><\/SPAN><\/STRONG>(UNBRIDLED’S SONG x KINGMAMBO x STORM CAT)\u00a0 <\/SPAN>bred and trained by Farm304<\/I><\/B> (16%)\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Odds: 5-2<\/P>

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

Earned a top twenty rating mostly on her performance as a two year old.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>But with a second in the Grade II Yanta Snez at this distance, she deserves her status as favorite, and she has a decided class edge on the field.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Her last race is cause for concern \u2013 it\u2019s not a good thing to see them run slower at three than at two.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>It\u2019s her only failure and it\u2019s hardly time to write her off by any means.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She still gets a dominant jockey and gets her favorite distance.<\/P>

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

PP4.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>THE TIME PROPHET(KY)\u00a0 <\/SPAN><\/SPAN><\/STRONG>(GILDED TIME x OPEN FORUM x MR. PROSPECTOR)\u00a0 <\/SPAN>bred and trained by Sighclone<\/I><\/B> (11%)\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Odds: 6-1<\/P>

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

With seven in-the-money finished in nine starts and after exhausting her conditions, she makes the reasonable step up to stakes.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She is clearly getting faster as a three year old, and it seems she will like the extra half-furlong.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She may even like longer, though in the Sim, sire\u2019s progeny have been exclusively sprinters. She fits with these; don\u2019t ignore.<\/P>

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

PP5.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>SUPER ZAPPER(KY)\u00a0 <\/SPAN><\/SPAN><\/STRONG>(AWESOME AGAIN x UNBRIDLED x MR. PROSPECTOR)\u00a0 <\/SPAN>bred and trained by Super13<\/I><\/B> (15%)\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Odds: 7-1<\/P>

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

She\u2019s been showing steady, even dramatic, improvement in her last few races.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Still lightly raced, that\u2019s often a potent signal.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Was closing on lone speed horse late last time but could not catch her.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She may get some help chasing early speed here.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>You know it\u2019s a deep field at this level if this one is the longest shot on the board.<\/P>

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

PP6.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>SOLANA<\/SPAN><\/STRONG><\/st1:PlaceName> <\/SPAN><\/STRONG>BEACH<\/SPAN><\/STRONG><\/st1:PlaceType><\/st1:place>(KY)\u00a0 <\/SPAN><\/SPAN><\/STRONG>(DIXIELAND BAND x UNBRIDLED x HAIL TO REASON)\u00a0 <\/SPAN>bred and trained by Cobleskill<\/I><\/B> (12%)\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Odds: 3-1<\/P>

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

The only blemish in her record is a decent fourth in a Grade III race at a route.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Perfect record at this distance and class, so naturally we look for negatives.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Her best win came against restricted company, and her last win was against a weaker field.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Finally, though her speed figures are competitive here, they have not been improving.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Did I mention she has a perfect record against this distance and class?<\/P>

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

PP7.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>KINETIC ENERGY(KY)\u00a0 <\/SPAN><\/SPAN><\/STRONG>(UNBRIDLED’S SONG x TALE OF THE CAT x GONE WEST)\u00a0 <\/SPAN>bred by Yunkai; trained by WFStables6<\/I><\/B> (11%)\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Odds: 5-1<\/P>

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

Filly comes here off of three straight route wins.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She shortens up as she steps up in class.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Tough to say how she\u2019s handle either change, much less both.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Of course that doesn\u2019t mean she can\u2019t handle them.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Because she made a substantial improvement when she followed her sprint debut with a route try, I am going to guess she\u2019d prefer to make her stakes debut at two turns.<\/P>

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

Summary<\/o:p><\/B><\/P>

So, did all that talk make sense to youse guys?\u00a0 <\/SPAN>I gotta say a lotta it didn\u2019t sound so good to me.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Here\u2019s what I\u2019m gonna do:\u00a0 <\/SPAN>I\u2019m bettin\u2019 Chasing The Wind.<\/o:p><\/P><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
