\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Saturday is the 7th<\/SUP> running of New Mexico<\/st1:place><\/st1:State>\u2019s Bringing Up The Rear Classic<\/B>. It is a GIII over 9.5 furlongs on dirt for fillies and mares 3 years old and older.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>The race record is a blistering 1:53 4\/5 set in 2004 by the now retired SUMMER SWEEP<\/B>. <\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/SPAN>It looks like a great day for racing with a fast track for the 15th<\/SUP> race on the card.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>9 mares go to the post with 3 four year olds, 3 five year olds, and 3 six year olds making up the field. <\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

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

PURITY CONTROL<\/SPAN><\/B> (7-1) a 4yo mare trained by buffy6<\/B> breaks from PP1. Only recently joining the stakes circuit (3 races) she has run well at 10f and shown good speed numbers with a 103 last time out in a 2nd<\/SUP> place stakes finish.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She has a G II 4th<\/SUP> place finish that indicates she won\u2019t be over her head here.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>An interesting daughter of Sadler\u2019s Wells<\/B>, she may be peaking at the right time, the only question maybe is the 9.5f distance too short. At 7-1 this mare is a good value bet in this race.<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

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

CAROL OF THE BELLS<\/SPAN><\/B> (5-1) a 4yo mare trained by deyoto3<\/B> starts from PP2. A former 13.5k claimer, this mare likes 8f distances and has a win in a G II and a second in a G I at that distance. However she has not gone longer than 9f in her career. Seems to fade at 8.5-9f distances, so this maybe a bit long for her tastes.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Has a track favorite jockey Bennington<\/B><\/st1:place><\/st1:City> on board, but this mare bred from Hennessy<\/B> will be tested over the last furlong.<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

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

NORTHERN IDEAL<\/SPAN><\/B> (16-1) is a 6yo mare out of the stable of bushmonste<\/B> who comes out of PP3. This daughter of Rahy<\/B> has raced in only 3 stakes over the last year and as fared poorly in all of them.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Her last stakes win was 2 years ago; however she has won allowances at 9 and 10 furlongs and shown a 100 speed rating as well. She looks overmatched here and has one of the weaker jockeys on board for the ride.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>The long odds here seem warranted especially in coming back from a race just 2 weeks ago.<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

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

WAKI NOTION<\/SPAN><\/B> (2-1) a 6yo mare trained by looney1<\/B> breaks from PP4. This Miswaki<\/B> bred mare has been a winner at both 9 and 10f in GIII to GI company. She has the highest speed ratings107-109 of all the runners and has tremendous closing ability.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>With the best rider (Duffy<\/B>) on board it looks like the 2-1 odds may be a bit long, as this horse has shown the speed and the class to dominate this field.<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

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

A BOWL AND A MARE<\/SPAN><\/B> (5-1) a 5yo mare trained by squirrel<\/B> starts from PP5.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Has stakes wins at 9, 9.5, and 10 furlongs, as well as showing consistent speed numbers (99-103) in stakes fields. One of two Storm Cat <\/B>sired mares in the field it looks like she may have a say at the finish.<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

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

INTENTTODISTRIBUTE<\/SPAN><\/B> (12-1) a 5yo mare trained by lordpye2<\/B> breaks from PP6. This is an interesting horse that has been lightly raced in stakes fields but has demonstrated some ability. She has a 103 speed rating in a recent allowance, as well as a creditable 5th in a GII 12f at this same track. As a true pace setter in this field she will be looking to hold off the others in the last furlong. However this Red Ransom<\/B> bred mare has one of the circuit\u2019s least successful riders (Klein<\/B>) on board.<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

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

CHOPPING HILL<\/SPAN><\/B> (6-1) this 5yo mare is trained by meguire5th<\/B> and leaves from PP7. This daughter of Woodman<\/B> has won 4 stakes races and been in the money in 10 others including GII and GIII. Consistent speed ratings in the 93-105 range and success at distance (3rd<\/SUP> in GII) indicate that this horse has the distance and class to be there at the finish line.<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

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

ERREKA<\/SPAN><\/B> (9-1) a 4yo mare trained by triska<\/B> breaks from PP8. A stakes winner at 10f, was in the money in a G III two races back. This Storm Cat <\/B>daughter has decent speed numbers at 10f (98-105) and is looking to show that she possess the class to finish consistently in the money at GIII.<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

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

DECEMBER SHADOW<\/SPAN><\/B> (6-1) a 6yo mare trained by topicount2<\/B> starts from PP9. This mare has finished in the money in 8 of 13 stakes races including a nice 108 speed rating in winning a GIII 10f 6 months ago.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>The 9.5f distance looks like a nice fit for this A.P. Indy<\/B> breed mare. Has one of this years hottest jockeys in New Mexico<\/st1:State><\/st1:place> (Chancellor<\/B>) in the saddle. <\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

The Race<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/SPAN>I think that INTENTTODISTRUBUTE<\/B> will set the pace early with NORTHERN IDEAL, A BOWL A AND A MARE, ERREKA<\/B>, and DECEMBER SHADOW<\/B> all close. CAROL OF THE BELLS<\/B> and CHOPPING HILL<\/B> will be mid pack. PURITY CONTROL<\/B> and WAKI NOTION<\/B> will be bringing up the rear. \u00a0<\/SPAN>At the finish I look for WAKI NOTION<\/B> to fly by the field to victory, with PURITY CONTROL<\/B> and CHOPPING HILL<\/B> closing on tiring A BOWL AND A MARE<\/B> and DECEMBER SHADOW<\/B>.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>It would be fitting if those Bringing Up The Rear<\/B> might both be in the money, but after WAKI NOTION<\/B> there are at least 4 strong ladies vying for 2nd<\/SUP> and 3rd<\/SUP>.<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
