place to run their 2 YO&#8217;s they might well look at stakes races as there are a plethora of them.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Since most people take the traditional approach of running a horse through their conditions, stakes races are woefully under filled. <SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0<\/SPAN><I style=\"mso-bidi-font-style: normal\">The Rapid<\/I> <I style=\"mso-bidi-font-style: normal\">Challenge Stakes<\/I> is one of those.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Only four horses took advantage of the small field size, big purse money, and used the race as an opportunity to build stakes points.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN><I style=\"mso-bidi-font-style: normal\">The Rapid Challenge<\/I> was named after a 9 YO

style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>It will be run at 7 1\/2 furlongs over the turf course.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>The weather system over the area is supposed to stick around for the weekend and the course should be rated as &#8220;Good&#8221;.<o:p><\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt\"><SPAN style=\"FONT-SIZE:

(19\/1) by Argo&#8217;s Quest.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She won at first asking in a maiden claim for $2,500 on the turf and seemed to have plenty left in the tank.<SPAN

<\/SPAN>Knocked out by the effort she was sent to the auction where she ended up at <B style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal\"><I style=\"mso-bidi-font-style: normal\">CPU

too, is being talked about by those in the know, as maybe a &#8216;good one&#8217;.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Barring accidents we will know more after Saturday&#8217;s

style=\"FONT-SIZE: 14pt\">One of the reasons the Super group is so successful is that they can always be counted on to find the easy spots for their bunch of well-bred babies.\u00a0 Not only do the horses\u00a0get stakes experience but the group\u00a0has a chance to learn a lot about their horses.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN><EM><STRONG>Super5<\/STRONG><\/EM> will do just that when\u00a0their Smarty Jones filly, <B style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal\">Eraticus<\/B> (3\/5) parades to the post Saturday afternoon.\u00a0 She\u00a0has won two of her four starts and has never been beaten on the turf.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 Not only that, s<\/SPAN>he holds the top speed figure in the race by some 20 points.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She should be a lock here, but it is an off track and 2 YO&#8217;s seldom do what is expected.<o:p><\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt\"><SPAN style=\"FONT-SIZE:
