\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Hello race fans and welcome to Manhattan for a great day of racing . It’s a fun filled day planned with the crowning jewel of excitement set to go off in the 15 th race featuring the Manhattan District Stakes<\/U> – G II . Some of the higher ranked sprinting fillies have dropped everything to show up today in an effort to assert dominance over their rivals . <\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Regardless of the rain coming down the last few days , the track is drying up and it is projected to be ” Good ” by post time . Several of these fillies could care less if it was a mud pie making contest and would have liked nothing better than to turn this race into a mud wrestling feature . Among the field are highly ranked fillies\u00a0Three D\u00a0<\/STRONG> and\u00a0Fifth Street\u00a0<\/STRONG>, both whom are vying for better position in the dirt sprint division .<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Surprising is the lack of attendance this year , only 6 fillies have shown up .. the lowest field ever to run . The track record which has stood since 2003 set by \u00a0Crash Bang Wallop (IRE)<\/STRONG>\u00a0\u00a0 is up for grabs . The mark of\u00a0 1:22:00 has weathered some of the best sprinting fillies to date … can this be the year\u00a0 ?<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 On the wood at 3 \/ 1\u00a0<\/STRONG>is the very fast\u00a0Three D (KY)\u00a0<\/STRONG>( Shore Breeze x Robellino x Marauding (NZ) ) representing trainer\u00a0Monaro<\/EM>\u00a0<\/STRONG> and ridden by veteran jockey C. Tool .\u00a0 A multiple Stakes winner at 2 including 5 Stakes wins back to back \u00a0, she is ranked # 3 in the Dirt sprint division and totes an eye popping record of\u00a0 16 : 11-2-1 with\u00a0 $ 548K in earnings to date .\u00a0 This year hasn’t been nearly as dominating for her winning 2 of her last 4 including a narrow 2nd place finish March 17 th in Finland’s The Finland Filly Sprint<\/U> – G I . Whether taking the lead or stalking close .. this filly has class and should make a huge presence at the wire .<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 In post 2 is the # 7 ranked dirt sprinter and\u00a0Lenny30<\/EM><\/STRONG> trained filly Fifth Street\u00a0 4 \/ 1 (KY) \u00a0<\/STRONG>( Silver Ghost x Deputy Minister x A.P. Indy ) , slick journeyman jock S. Israel gets the nod . With a sterling freshman record of\u00a0 4: 3-0-0 , this filly kicked the high gear into action this year going 4 : 2-1-0 over Slick and fast dirt including he G I victory March 17th in Finland’s\u00a0 The Finland Filly Sprint<\/U> – G I where she came from waaay back to catch a narrow victory in the last 50 yards in 1:10:2\/5\u00a0 92 <\/DIV>
Spf .\u00a0 She really likes the off dirt and in my book , versatility is key for this division and I expect her late run to be felt like a shock wave at the wire .<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 In post 3 is the co betting favorite at 3 \/ 1\u00a0\u00a0 Heart of Light (KY)\u00a0<\/STRONG>(\u00a0Tiznow x Unbridled x Hoist the Flag\u00a0)\u00a0 trained by the crafty\u00a0 Mav1764<\/EM><\/STRONG> and ridden by Mr. Rabbit foot B. Dirks whom has had a turn around season this year .\u00a0 A multiple Stakes winner at 2 , this filly has made her return to the sprint division with a big splash after mixed results going 8+ panels this year . She has won 2 of 3 this year including her latest devastating clinic in Missouri’s The North Pot Handicap<\/U> – Stk on April 14 th where she went wire to wire over 7 furlongs in 1:22:2\/5\u00a0 99 Spf . She will have her hands full today if she intends to take the lead and tested she certainly will be .<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 In post 4 is Miracles (MD)\u00a0 9 \/ 2\u00a0\u00a0<\/STRONG>(\u00a0Not for Love x Boston Harbor x Meadowlake\u00a0)\u00a0 representing trainer\u00a0Desertbear<\/EM><\/STRONG>\u00a0 with the reliable veteran N. Painter in the irons . A winner first asking , this filly has\u00a03 other wins at Stakes level … and two of those on slick dirt and career efforts last year . Although she is winless this season , I have a feeling the return to the slop will spark her into action once again and we will see what she can offer in the Graded ranks .<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 In post 5 ridden by veteran Ax Williams\u00a0is Star of the North (KY)\u00a0\u00a0 4 \/ 1<\/STRONG>\u00a0 ( Seeking the Gold x Northern Dancer x Seattle Slew )\u00a0 from the stables of trainer Snappa5<\/EM><\/STRONG> . A graded winner at 2 going 8.5 panels , this filly has endured some tuff beats this year so she turns back the distance to see if she likes it better here in the sprint division . Her last winning performance was in November 18 th’s Mistaken Soda Identity Stakes<\/U> – G II in Arizona going 8.5 furlongs in 1:43:4\/5\u00a0 92 Spf . With her running style I think the distance is just way too short for her . A return to 8 panels should see her pick back up where she left off last season .<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 On the far outside representing trainer Laramie<\/EM>\u00a0\u00a0<\/STRONG>is The Dirty Dancer (KY)\u00a0 9 \/ 2 <\/STRONG>(\u00a0Silver Deputy x Grand Slam x Storm Cat\u00a0) , youngster J . Migliore gets the nod . A winner first asking , this filly followed up her Maiden performance with back to back Stakes wins coming from way back followed by\u00a0wire to wire fashion . Since then it’s been a string of bad beats and narrow misses which ended finally last outing in Tasmania’s The Giant of the North Handicap<\/U> – Stk\u00a0 going 6.5 panels in\u00a0 1:16:3\/5\u00a0 93 Spf . She stretches it out to 7 furlongs today in hopes that she can erase her last defeat in The Finland Filly Sprint<\/U> – G I where she ran out of ground .<\/DIV><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
