\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Hello race fans and welcome to the 7 th installment of the Little Ones Juvenile<\/U> – G II over 6 furlongs of Longchamp’s\u00a0 firm turf . The race\u00a0record of\u00a0 1:11:00 is in jeopardy this year as a fine group of youngsters has come defiantly to make a run at Sim history . These races oftentimes define the heart and character of these young horses . I am pleased as punch to have the opportunity to cover this race\u00a0and present the runners to the viewing audience . Some of these youngsters are undefeated\u00a0; some have won in Stakes company and some have run farther that the 6 panels set for todays race . They all have one thing in common though … they ALL are setting out to gain that first Graded win .<\/DIV>

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 On the rail at 7 \/ 1\u00a0<\/STRONG>is the\u00a0Paceman2<\/EM>\u00a0<\/STRONG>trained colt\u00a0\u00a0Danisha (ENG)<\/STRONG>\u00a0 ( Dansili (GB) x Theatrical (IRE) x Kris S.\u00a0) with competent journeyman jockey B. Gall in the irons . This colt is the long awaited first foal of multiple graded winning mare Krishna (IRE) <\/STRONG>whom in her own racing career racked up 13 graded victories ( 7 G I ) \u00a0, 22 Stakes wins with over $ 5.4 million in earnings lifetime . At first asking it was quite evident that this colt was something special when he smashed a full field over 6 panels by 2 lengths in\u00a0 1:12:00\u00a0 73 Spf . This second start he makes his graded debut in yet another full field , a worthy test of his genetics passed down from his most excellent Dam .<\/DIV>

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 In post 2 is Afleet Dream (ENG)\u00a0 13 \/ 1<\/STRONG> ( Sahkee x Afleet x Leo Castelli\u00a0)\u00a0 representing the stables of trainer Themaster<\/EM><\/STRONG> and ridden by the masterful journeyman jockey B. Wu .\u00a0 This youngster comes into today’s race bearing a perfect record of\u00a0 3 : 3-0-0 including his last victory in Argentina’s The Bright Buster Memorial<\/U> – Stk\u00a0 May 5 th over 6 furlongs in 1:12:00\u00a0\u00a0 73 Spf .\u00a0 He is getting better with every start and likes to come from\u00a0the back\u00a0to take on the pace setters in the stretch run with a strong kick to emphasize his dominance . In this race i’d like to see him a bit further ahead when they come for home , the up in class may not favor his late closing style today .<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 In post 3 is the Dkyoung2<\/EM>\u00a0\u00a0<\/STRONG>trained youngster at\u00a09 \/ 1\u00a0<\/STRONG> is\u00a0Breakdown Defend (AUS)<\/STRONG> (\u00a0Redoute’s Choice (AUS) x Dehere x Seeking the Gold\u00a0) , the humble veteran M. Nurmi gets the nod . This colt is the 4 th live foal from multiple Stakes winning mare Our Lady Rena <\/STRONG>whom <\/STRONG>was <\/STRONG>an extremely <\/STRONG>dangerous turf sprinter in her own right . His March\u00a0 17 th first start in France resulted in an easy win going 6 panels in\u00a0 1:12:4\/5\u00a0 65 Spf . Today he is thrown into the Graded arena to see if he can compete with the best 2 yo’s available over Longchamp’s lawn .<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 In post 4 is the betting favorite\u00a0Blacksburg (KY)\u00a0 6 \/ 1\u00a0 <\/STRONG>(\u00a0War Chant x Nureyev x Valid Appeal\u00a0)\u00a0\u00a0from <\/STRONG>the <\/STRONG>stables <\/STRONG>of <\/STRONG>trainer Super15<\/EM><\/STRONG> , slick veteran R . Miavia gets the assignment . This brown colt broke his maiden April 27 th over Denmarks turf track going 5.5 furlongs in\u00a0 1:05:00\u00a0 74 Spf . His stalking style will suit him well today and put him in an excellent position for the run to the wire .<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 In post 5 is Japanese bred Spirited Choice (JPN)\u00a0 14 \/ 1\u00a0\u00a0<\/STRONG>(\u00a0David Junior x Mt. Livermore x Crafty Prospector\u00a0)\u00a0 ridden by veteran P. Nine and representing trainer\u00a0Brightvalr<\/EM><\/STRONG> . The latest addition from Graded winning mare More Earn<\/STRONG> , this colt may just be the horse to vindicate his Dams genetic legacy in the Sim .\u00a0 He won quite handily in an April 14 th MSW over this very course going 5 furlongs in 0:59:1\/5 by 3\u00a0 1\/4 lengths\u00a0 70 Spf . His style SEEMS to dictate either a stalking style or mid pack rambler whom likes to challenge right before the dash for home . <\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 In post 6 at\u00a0 9 \/ 1\u00a0<\/STRONG>is the Tully<\/EM><\/STRONG> trained colt Scovazon<\/STRONG> (ENG) <\/STRONG>(\u00a0Rainbow Quest x Sadler’s Wells x Two Punch\u00a0) with the very talented J. Ventura aboard .\u00a0 A winner in 3 of his 4 career races , this active youngster has been taking on all comers and sending them home in shame of late . His latest victory May 12 th was in Kentucky’s The Dowelly Special<\/U> – Stk where he lead the field of 10 over 6 panels in\u00a0 1:12:2\/5\u00a0 68 Spf . The Graded debut is a test of class , today is no exception for this colt . Look for him to set the pace early and make the others try to run him down in the stretch .<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 In post 7 is the Spectrum2<\/EM><\/STRONG>\u00a0 trained Viking Warship (IRE)\u00a0 26 \/ 1 <\/STRONG>(\u00a0Ratki (GB) x ILe De Bourbon x Allen’s Prospect\u00a0) , veteran D. Gullet gets the nod today . A winner first asking March 31 st over this very same track , this colt has been training up for this very day ever since . He seems to like it right off the pace and will have plebty of company there coming home to the wire .<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 In post 8 is The<\/STRONG> Rare<\/STRONG> Vegamite (KY)\u00a0\u00a0 7 \/ 1<\/STRONG>\u00a0( Elusive Quality x Encosta de Lago (AUS) x Summer Squall\u00a0) , representing trainer\u00a0 Cjt3 <\/EM><\/STRONG>and ridden by veteran L. Ranger .\u00a0 A winner first asking , this first foal of Stakes winning mare Happy Vegemite (AUS)<\/STRONG> is making his Graded debut among some tuff customers . His maiden win came by an easy 2\u00a0 1\/2 length victory over 5.5 furlongs April 28 th in Taiwan\u00a0 1:05:4\/5\u00a0 64 Spf . His late run style might not serve him well in today’s field . A more forward positioning early might be the trick to run down the field today .<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 In post 9 at 10 \/ 1<\/STRONG> is Brave Birdie (ENG)<\/STRONG>\u00a0 ( Green Desert x Cape Town x Storm Cat\u00a0)\u00a0 ridden by old veteran S. Jeter\u00a0 , from the stables of trainer Jsimpson<\/EM><\/STRONG> .\u00a0 A winner first asking , this 3rd foal of Stakes winning mare Captain’s Cat<\/STRONG> is off to a hot start wiring a short MSW field over 6 furlongs on Victoria’s turf track May 12 th\u00a0 1:12:2\/5\u00a0 67 Spf .\u00a0 Look for him to fight for the lead today and make the field catch hi at the wire .<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 In post 10 is today’s long shot runner at 48 \/ 1<\/STRONG> and representing trainer Big<\/EM>easy<\/EM><\/STRONG> is the burly colt Bigeasy Song (KY)<\/STRONG> ( Songandaprayer x Dollar Bill x Fusaichi Pegasus\u00a0) ridden by R. Perloff .\u00a0 This Dark Grey colt is winless in 3 starts and makes his Grass debut today against proven Turf winners . He has been defeated by a combined 22 lengths to date on dirt , not really sure he is a turf runner but stranger things have happened .<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0In post 11 is Hanna’s Horizon (IRE)\u00a0 7 \/ 1\u00a0<\/STRONG>(\u00a0Refuse to Bend (IRE) x Coronado’s Quest x Storm Cat\u00a0)\u00a0 representing\u00a0the stables of trainer\u00a0 Rharfo5<\/EM><\/STRONG>\u00a0 and ridden by slick journeyman B . Thedog .\u00a0 Undefeated in 2 starts , this colt has put up impressive efforts to date and only seems to be getting better .\u00a0 A front runner at heart , he should put up punishing fractions early\u00a0and just might wilt the field into submission . His last win came by an April 14 th shell shocker over an off Dubai turf track going 6 furlongs in 1:11:4\/5\u00a0 75 Spf and fastest effort among the field today . <\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 In post 12 at 12 \/ 1<\/STRONG> and ridden by the crafty S. Graf is the Jlor3851 <\/STRONG>trained colt His Benz (ENG)<\/STRONG> ( Dubawi (ENG) x More than Ready x Conquistador Ceilo )\u00a0 .\u00a0 Undefeated in 2 starts , this colt is on fire coming into today’s race . His latest victory came by an April 7 th romp over Kentucky’s 6 furlong Turf Baby’s Ball <\/U>-Stk\u00a0 in\u00a0 1:12:1\/5\u00a0 72 Spf\u00a0 by\u00a0 1\u00a0 1\/4 lengths .\u00a0 He makes the next logical step in coming up to the Graded ranks bringing his front running style to bear on a field with a cornucopia\u00a0of running styles . <\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 In post 13 is the Foxon5 <\/EM><\/STRONG>trained\u00a0\u00a0Angry Skies (ENG)<\/STRONG>\u00a0 (\u00a0Beat Hollow (GB) x Mill Reef x Nijinsky II\u00a0)\u00a0 at 9 \/ 1<\/STRONG> with slick veteran jockey T. Thedog in the irons . Unbeaten in 2 starts , this colt will be joining some fellow late runners in the back today most likely and will look to make a statement at the wire . His last victory came by an impressive unrelenting stretch run in Tasmania’s May 5 th The Your Dancer Stakes<\/U> -Stk over 6.5 furlongs in\u00a0 1:18:3\/5\u00a0 72 Spf . Wind it back to 6 panels and jump up the class … another wise decision by this crafty trainer and may just pay off today .<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 On\u00a0the far outside is Arcangelo (KY)\u00a0 8 \/ 1\u00a0\u00a0<\/STRONG>( Artie Schiller x\u00a0 Chester House x Nureyev ) ridden by the tricky M.
