Not all of the big time racing action\u00a0will be\u00a0in Kentucky on Saturday.\u00a0 A pair of graded stakes headline the\u00a0California card.\u00a0 The Grade II\u00a0Painful Thorn Stakes features eleven classy fillies and mares going\u00a0one mile and one sixteenth on the fast main course.\u00a0 Let’s meet the ladies in post position order.<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
Breaking from the rail will be entertainment reporter extraordinaire Conniecpu’s fleet Bold Peggy<\/STRONG>.\u00a0 The light gray Fu Peg five year old arrives fresh\u00a0from an off track allowance score (SP 101) in Jamaica, mon.\u00a0 The multiple stakes winner had\u00a0performed poorly in\u00a0her three previous races, but prior to those clunkers had been in\u00a0outstanding form including a very sharp second in The Grade III DelPenn Distaff in which she posted a 107 speed figure.\u00a0 Connie knows what she’s doing both in the barn and along press row.\u00a0 Her mare will be ready.<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
Believe<\/STRONG> will carry Aceracer’s blue and white colors into battle on Saturday.\u00a0 The six year old mare has spent the\u00a0past year sprinting on the turf with modest success.\u00a0 Last November she won a seven furlong listed stake in Finland.\u00a0 The petite Miswaki homebred did break her maiden over\u00a0California’s main\u00a0track back in 2004.\u00a0\u00a0Outside chance\u00a0in here.\u00a0<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
Also Sweet<\/STRONG> is the 2-1 favorite for very good reason.\u00a0 She’s a lot faster than anything else in the race.\u00a0 The Point Given five year old has won three stakes in her last five starts including two Grade II wins.\u00a0 Last time out she fell a half length short as the chalk in an Eastern Kentucky listed stake.\u00a0 But the flashy chestnut posted a 110 speed figure winning a Grade II stake before that.\u00a0 In fact, her previous four speed numbers were 110, 108, 109 and 108.\u00a0 Far superior to those of any of her rivals.\u00a0 Has a great chance to give her trainer, Pick6king, his one hundredth career victory.<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
Post four belongs to 17-1 outsider Love And War<\/STRONG>.\u00a0 The pretty daughter of War Emblem and the great Grade I winning millionaire Lolland (Danzig x Forty Niner)\u00a0has Mom’s looks but not her speed.\u00a0 Trainer Bm4 must be disappointed that none of Lolland’s four foals have done anything of note, yet.\u00a0 Love And War did post a 101\u00a0speed figure winning a Colorado allowance in October.\u00a0 But three stakes attempts since\u00a0then have resulted in nothing better than a sixth place finish.\u00a0 Later with easier.<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
Black Label Stables’ Suicidal Plane<\/STRONG> breaks from gate five.\u00a0 The fast but inconsistent DelPenn based Meadowlake filly went wire-to-wire last time out in a Jamaican listed stake.\u00a0 Her 104 speed figure was a lifetime best.\u00a0 Prior to that she was twelfth in an Alabama stake.\u00a0 Any improvement from her last start puts her squarely in the picture.\u00a0 Your call.<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
Trainer Oldcrow (Texas Tech OK David’s Red Dirt Runners) plucked Blazing Light<\/STRONG> out of a $25,000 claimer last November.\u00a0 The rangy Carson City filly failed to win a trio of starter allowance races following the claim.\u00a0 Then David found the key.\u00a0 Twinkies.\u00a0 Yes, Twinkies, those trans fat laden sponge cakes we all loved as kids.\u00a0 Blazing Light\u00a0wiped out half a dozen artery cloggers\u00a0the night before her next race.\u00a0 All she did is run off and hide in a $46,200 4L allowance in Eastern Kentucky.\u00a0 Then came another romp in a DC allowance after a Twinkie, Ho-Ho, Ding Dong\u00a0and Snowball orgy.\u00a0 Three in a row seems very remote.\u00a0 But stranger things have happened.\u00a0 <\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
Ashleigh’s Jupiter Rally<\/STRONG> has\u00a0won two races.\u00a0 A maiden special and a nw2L allowance.\u00a0 Nine stakes tries have resulted in nine dismal finishes.\u00a0\u00a0Everyone who thinks this one will turn out better, raise your hand.<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
G W World Destroyer<\/STRONG>\u00a0would be better off running against Jupiter Rally in a nw2X\/3L allowance.\u00a0 The Tiznow stallion has been a complete non-factor in three stakes races.\u00a0 Was beaten almost twenty five lengths last time out.\u00a0 Pass.<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
There may not be a better bred horse than September Royalty<\/STRONG>.\u00a0 She is by super stud Kingmambo and is out of the great September Storm (Summer Squall x Alydar x Buckpasser, $2,000,000+, two grade I wins, four graded wins altogether).\u00a0 Futurestar’s five year old has won four graded races herself and if she wins a fifth on Saturday, she’ll surpass the million dollar mark in career earnings and join Mom as one of the few mother\/daughter millionaire mare duos.\u00a0 Tired\u00a0a bit after showing speed in her last two outings but won the Grade III Sabian three back off of similar lines.\u00a0 Can definitely rebound this week.\u00a0 <\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
Bling<\/STRONG>(SAF) is the wild card.\u00a0 A double graded winner on the lawn, Safrace2’s Horse Chestnut(SAF) mare tries the main course for the first time since running third early in her racing career.\u00a0 She has a few things going in her favor.\u00a0 High percentage veteran trainer.\u00a0 Hot rider in Jeff Bryson.\u00a0 Turf to dirt angle.\u00a0 And appears to be sitting on a big race following a bounce from her career best 106 speed number earned while capturing the Grade III Shawnee River Handicap the time before.\u00a0 Must consider.<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
Big Ugly<\/STRONG> is neither.\u00a0 The diminutive roan is a real cutie pie.\u00a0 This will be\u00a0the first race in two months for Jrogue’s\u00a0deep closer.\u00a0 After winning the Grade II Razorback Distaff two back, the Summer Squall five year old stopped to a crawl last time out in the Original Margarita in Dubai.\u00a0 She reportedly bled in that race and is adding lasix for this start.\u00a0 She looked rock solid drilling five eighths in 1:01.2 Wednesday morning.\u00a0 Another serious contender.\u00a0<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
Four or five mares have legit credentials to take this race.\u00a0 It should be a wild one.\u00a0 Good luck with your picks!<\/DIV>
