\nFrom Lone Star Park in Grand Prairie,\u00a0 Texas,\u00a0 the Elite Racing Club presents the RICK DANIELS REMEMBRANCE.\u00a0 A field of eight older club runners,\u00a0 including\u00a0 three upset minded distaffers,\u00a0 will battle it out for the winner’s share of the $100,000 purse on tap,\u00a0 while the winner collects the lion’s share of the stakes bonus points the club awards for each event on the calendar,\u00a0 ultimately resulting in a club championship (already clinched by harrylan<\/strong><\/em>) – the battle for the runner up spot is on !
\n.
\nThis particular race is in remembrance of the late Rick Daniels,\u00a0 probably better known as vasdef at a competing horse racing game that most of the ERC members once played going back five or more years.\u00a0 Vasdef was a force in the forums there,\u00a0 never having a bad word to say and always looking to improve that other game.\u00a0 He passed away at a relatively young age.\u00a0 Rick was a very musical guy;\u00a0 he built his own slide guitar that used to be featured in a you tube video,\u00a0 but I’ve been unable to find it again.\u00a0 Rest in peace,\u00a0 Rick – you would have LOVED this game.
\n.
\nAs for the race we have club co-founder amir<\/strong><\/em> saddling the morning line favorite,\u00a0 MAUVILLAC;\u00a0 managing director summerset<\/strong><\/em> sends out former claimer EL HURACAN,\u00a0 winner of four of his last five;\u00a0 newly crowned 2018 club champ harrylan<\/strong><\/em> goes with third choice PHAROAH’S SONG.\u00a0 The formidable mightyforego<\/strong><\/em> barn seeks a third straight win for DAN D BERNARDINI;\u00a0 the never to be dismissed dontbetonme<\/strong> <\/em>looks to surprise them with his filly,\u00a0 DAIWA’S DREAM;\u00a0 co-founder jbcri<\/strong> <\/em>sends out PBUSARDO trying for a fourth straight victory;\u00a0 newfydowns<\/strong> <\/em>goes for the upset with his mare GIRO CADET,\u00a0 and the field is completed by dunvilledowns<\/strong><\/em>‘ long shot special filly,\u00a0 TWO SHOT LEAD.
\n.
\nThere is a pronounced lack of early speed in this affair with just one front runner in the mix;\u00a0 let’s take a closer look at them in post position order and see what the figures may tell us.

\n.
\nFirst out on to the track is this brown four year old colt,\u00a0 who seeks a fourth straight triumph after a late running score in the Toxicsuperfreakout listed stakes at 10.5 furlongs,\u00a0 breaking a 108 SP# in his first stakes win.\u00a0 Scratch bred First Samurai fighter (by Dr Large) took a NW3x allowance one back of that,\u00a0 also at 10.5 panels,\u00a0 banking a 103 SP# from way back in the pack.\u00a0 One before that he won a NW3L allowance,\u00a0 again at 10.5 furlongs,\u00a0 bagging a 105 SP# with his usual stretch kick.\u00a0 Runner from the jbcri24<\/strong><\/em> racing group would like a solid pace to close into –\u00a0 that may not happen with this group.

\nScratch bred American Pharoah athlete (by Unbridled’s Song) may have bounced when a dull 9th in most recent try in a local championship stakes at this route,\u00a0 catching a 104 SP#.\u00a0 Light grey colt won his prior outing in the Fast Flying Ii listed stakes,\u00a0 also at 10 furlongs,\u00a0 crushing a 114 SP# in a mid pack trip.\u00a0 One back of that he tired to 4th on the weeds at 10 panels in the Greek Spring listed,\u00a0 copping a 108 SP# from the second flight.\u00a0 Harrylanlow41<\/strong><\/em> protege could be ready for a big effort on the rebound;\u00a0 dangerous with these.

\n$100,000 claim has won his last four dirt starts,\u00a0 the latest in an open allowance at this distance,\u00a0 drilling a 115 SP# from the middle of the pack.\u00a0 Brown four year old colt was an awful 8th one before that in an open allowance on the grass,\u00a0 dropping a 91 SP#.\u00a0 Son of Stormy Atlantic,\u00a0 out of the graded placed stakes winner Pass A Grille (by A.P. Indy),\u00a0 came from the back of the pack to take a $100,000 starter at 10.5 panels in his prior try,\u00a0 dialing in a 107 SP#.\u00a0 Runner from the rac1 barn of the summerset<\/strong> <\/em>group makes his stakes debut here;\u00a0 could surprise on top try.

\nThe first of our distaffers is this brown five year old mare,\u00a0 fresh off a late closing 2nd in an open allowance at this trip,\u00a0 punching a 97 SP# in a last to first move.\u00a0 Scratch bred Girolomo gal (by Affirmed) passed them all when winning a NW1x allowance at 9.5 panels in her previous start,\u00a0 pasting a 95 SP#.\u00a0 She was a distant 3rd one back of that at 13 furlongs in an open allowance,\u00a0 pegging an 87 SP# in a four horse affair.\u00a0 Runner from the murrayspond<\/strong> <\/em>barn of the newfydowns<\/strong><\/em> stable faces tough task in initial stakes appearance.

\nThe handicapper’s choice makes just his 2nd dirt start in 28 career outings.\u00a0 Last time over he showed some late interest when 6th in the Duck Wow listed stakes at 9 furlongs on the weeds,\u00a0 working out a 110 SP#.\u00a0 Bay five year old horse was a fast closing 3rd one before that in the G3 Big Kahuna Cap at 9 furlongs,\u00a0 whacking a 113 SP# from way back in the pack.\u00a0 Scratch bred Shiroccco stepper (by Danehill Dancer) was an even 3rd in prior run in an open allowance at this route,\u00a0 wrangling a 106 SP#.\u00a0 Only dirt start came two plus years ago and was not notable;\u00a0 recent SP#’s are competitive here,\u00a0 big chance if he takes to the dirt for the amir1633<\/strong> <\/em>racing conglomerate.
