A field of Seven New York Bred Fillies and Mares Three Years Old and Up will enter the Big Apple<\/i> starting gate in the $100,000 ESR Dancin\u2019 Renee Stakes<\/i>.\u00a0 The race will be run at One Mile over the Dirt Course.<\/p>\n

Dancin\u2019 Renee<\/b> had a stellar career on the track earning 14 wins from 21 starts. In 1997 she claimed seven consecutive victories, including the GR3 Honorable Miss at Saratoga<\/i>, the Broadway Handicap<\/i> at Aqueduct, and the Monmouth Park Regret Stakes<\/i>, which was her final start. Her earnings totaled $490,258.
\nShe was crowned 1997\u2019s New York Horse of the Year<\/i> as well as Champion Sprinter<\/i> and Champion Older Female<\/i> by the New York Thoroughbred Breeders, Inc.<\/p>\n

History: <\/b>New York Stallion Park Avenue Stakes<\/i>, Berlo Handicap<\/i>, and Broadway Handicap<\/i> at Aqueduct, the Honorable Miss Stakes<\/i> (G3) at Saratoga, the Regret Stakes<\/i> at Monmouth, the Endine Stakes<\/i> at Delaware Park and the Straight Deal Breeders\u2019 Cup Handicap<\/i> at Laurel Park.<\/b><\/p>\n

CAPARCH \u2013 <\/b>after going full bore in the G3 Lady Bourbon<\/i> last time out in her bid for a spot in the Bluegrass Oaks<\/i>, the 3-Year Old Bay Filly by Al Kahli<\/i> returns to ESR<\/i> competition where she has been a prevailing force for the pointblank<\/i> stables finishing with a first, second and third place finish in three ESR<\/i> Stake appearances, the last a victory against open-bred rivals in the ESR Stranger Things Stakes<\/i> ; the challenge doesn\u2019t get any easier for the talented New York-bred, as she takes on older rivals for the first time, but top connections know how to get the job done with a filly that is only beginning to scratch the surface…dangerous<\/p>\n

MOST PECULIAR \u2013 <\/b>ten times first or second in fifteen career starts, the 4-Year Old Bay Filly by Big Brown<\/i> is the model of consistency and always shows up to race; the spinround<\/i> New York-bred has been a Local sensation and makes her much anticipated debut at the Stakes level in the ESR<\/i> feature; this filly has really blossomed as a 4yo and progressive speed figures in her last four starts suggest a filly ready to take it to the same level.. \u201cNobody Told Me<\/b> there’d be days like these\u201d<\/p>\n

MISS ALFALFA \u2013 <\/b>it\u2019s been almost a year <\/b>since this 5-Year Old Bay Mare by Alpha<\/i> has visited the winner\u2019s circle for the leading connections of the kingab<\/i> racing stables, however she is making her second start off a four-month layoff after a determined second place finish LTO at the Allowance level while posting a 100-speed figure in the return; the winner of the ESR Frost Queen Stakes<\/i> should be well-poised for a top effort here on Saturday and in good position to return to her winning ways…locked and loaded<\/p>\n

FIFTH AVE CADET –<\/b> the 6-Year Old Light Grey Mare by Bluegrass Cat<\/i> is the winningest horse in the field (twelve) including five victories in five ESR<\/i> Stakes appearances; the elder stateswoman in the field, the cadet<\/i> trained NY-bred has little left to prove against her ESR rivals, and based on her current form, there is no reason to believe she won\u2019t continue her dominance at this level…one to beat<\/p>\n

AWESOME FREUD \u2013 <\/b>the lightly raced 4-Year Old Bay Filly by Freud<\/i> appears to have figured things out for the capecod<\/i> racing stables finishing ITM in her last five starts while recording her first triple digit speed figures in her last three;\u00a0 the improving NY-bred has earned her first stakes appearance, and while she still may yield to more experienced rivals she is racing in top form…never better<\/p>\n

JAMAICANMEPARTY \u2013 <\/b>the trotter1<\/i> trainee by <\/b>Desert Party<\/i> has been, if nothing else, a reliable paycheck finishing ITM in 22 of her 24 career starts; garnering most of her paydays as a sprinter, and with her better races behind her, the steadfast NY-bred has been has been keeping company in the claiming ranks and appears to be overmatched at the stakes level…happy with part<\/p>\n

LIKE YOU USED TO \u2013 <\/b>the 4-Year Old Light Grey Filly by Honorable Dillon<\/i> has been impressive in winning 7 races in 13 career starts, but the aladar<\/i> trained NY-bred has struggled against his ESR<\/i> rivals at the stakes level; spending most of her time sprinting for her new connections, her last two set her up for a big effort here on Saturday; if you toss out her last two-turn start on the Turf start in the \u00a0ESR Prom Equivalency Stakes<\/i> last May and look at her third place finish in the open-bred Seattle Dixie Dirt Filly Mile<\/i> in her prior route, you can make a strong case for this one-time claimer to put up a good effort here on Saturday…might surprise<\/p>\n

Handicapping the Field<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

FIFTH AVE CADET <\/b>is a perfect five for five in ESR<\/i> Stakes, now I\u2019m not a math whiz, but I\u2019m pretty sure it doesn\u2019t get better than 100%.\u00a0 Top Billing in the ESR<\/i> feature.<\/p>\n

With all due respect, CAPARCH<\/b>, is as good, if not better than any horse in this field, I just don\u2019t bet 3yo\u2019s against older horses this time of year, that is just my<\/b> personal rule; but I surely wouldn\u2019t blame anyone who bets her at 19-1, she is that good.<\/p>\n

MISS ALFALFA<\/b> is sitting on a big race in her second race back, the problem I have is her last start, even though it was a 4-month layoff, non-winners of 2 in a year was well within her grasp.\u00a0 I won\u2019t leave her off my ticket, but I will proceed with caution.<\/p>\n

MOST PECULIAR <\/b>never runs a bad race and is <\/b>good enough to win every time she steps on the race track.\u00a0 She makes her stakes debut and all to often I see horses struggle when they take a step up in class.<\/p>\n

AWESOME FREUD <\/b>and LIKE YOU USED TO <\/b>are improving horses that just might surprise, but this is a big step up and a top three would be a huge accomplishment.<\/p>\n

JAMAICANMEPARTY <\/b>is in over her head but could find herself with a piece of the purse left unattended on the front end.<\/p>\n

The Picks<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

FIFTH AVE CADET \u2013 only a fool would pick against a horse that\u2019s been this dominant at this level<\/b><\/p>\n

MISS ALFALFA \u2013 is better than her PP\u2019s might indicate<\/b><\/p>\n

MOST PECULIAR \u2013 consistent sort, should be around for a part<\/b><\/p>\n

Longshot<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n
