NO UGLY BETTY\u2019S IN SO-CAL \u2013 Just a lot of sunshine!<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/U><\/B><\/P>

It\u2019s going to be a beautiful Saturday of racing down in Southern California<\/st1:place>, and we have 10 amazing fillies & mares gracing the track with their presence.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>These \u201cBetties\u201d (refer back to Alicia Silverstone in the mighty 90\u2019s teenage epic Clueless<\/I>) are making my job a bit difficult trying to sort \u2018em out.\u00a0 <\/SPAN><\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

We have the lukewarm 4-1 morning line favorite, Empire Reef<\/B>, who\u2019s been making waves as of late on the grass.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She\u2019s very closely followed by 2nd<\/SUP>-choice Dreaming of Love<\/B>, the flower child of the punch \u2013 the happy-go-lucky 6yo put some questions to rest with her easy romp last time out in the Hannah Barbara (G3).\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Junk Collector<\/B>, a big impressive import from Ireland, is training brilliantly and has rightly earned the 3rd<\/SUP> co-pick with juicy 6\/1 odds, sharing that title with Cvbear\u2019s<\/I> Better Than Heaven<\/B>, the top money maker from her sire\u2019s crop of \u201903 who is untested over the grass.\u00a0 <\/SPAN><\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

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

Now, least we forget, we still have 4 more fillies listed at 7\/1\u2026 Tenacious V<\/B> is always a strong opponent, but hasn\u2019t been running as competitively with these ladies lately\u2026 then again, I\u2019m sure if they give her a swift pace on the front end she\u2019d thoroughly enjoy running them down.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>And there\u2019s nothing like a little Latina<\/st1:place><\/st1:City> flair to spice things up around here and that\u2019s where Adios Amigo<\/B> comes in.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>The 5yo may be slight in frame, but this lady brings the fiesta (voted Ms. Congeniality in the stable rows) with her incredible closing kick.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Golden-girl Miswaki\u2019s Last<\/B> is new to this division\u2019s top company, but she\u2019s made herself more than at home bringing a 14 for 17 ITM turf record (10 of those being wins) and laying claim to 2nd<\/SUP> place in both the OK Bayou (G3) & the Black Betty (G2).\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Then we have A Perfect Sunday<\/B>\u2026 this little lady has some real jets on her, whipping out a 109sp three races back and still barely breaking a sweat.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She\u2019s running very well right now and is definitely a great bet.<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

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

At 8\/1 Boston<\/st1:place><\/st1:City>\u2019s Clam Chowdah<\/B> floats into the picture as a new face on the turf scene.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She\u2019s another who ran a blistering 109sp just two back.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>To round out the field of odds we have the longshot youngster at 26\/1\u2026 Prayer Vindication<\/B>, a Kentucky-bred, is merely a sophomore, but she proved herself last out winning the Filly Turf Bonanza (G1).<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

So how about an even closer look\u2026 here\u2019s how the fillies line-up against one another over the past 6 months.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>As you can see there\u2019s been a lot of bantering back and forth between the 9 \u201colder\u201d mares.<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>
