The World Cup Juvenile Filly Turf Sprint 2007<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/STRONG><\/P>

Hello readers, and welcome to the bi-yearly World Cup race day. A prestigious event on the sim racing calendar, where we see 36 G1 races, contested by the top horses from all corners of the globe. This year I am covering the 2yo Fillies Turf Sprint event over 6F. The field is full of speed so we can expect to see some sp# hitting the high 80\u2019s, which is very good for a 2yo filly at this stage of their career. Being such an outstanding race, I\u2019ve taken the privilege of talking to a number of trainers, with major runners, about their horse\u2019s chances during the week. Without further ado let\u2019s look at the hot field.<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/STRONG><\/P>

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

PP1: <\/SPAN><\/STRONG>MISS MOORS(KY) <\/SPAN><\/STRONG>10\/1<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/STRONG><\/P>

Drawn in gate one is the well breed <\/SPAN><\/STRONG>DEHERE x <\/SPAN>DANZIG<\/SPAN><\/st1:place> x GENERAL ASSEMBLY filly, from Australian trainer parramatta<\/I>. Breeding stats would suggest she is suited to the dirt, where she is 1 from 1, but has proven herself on the turf tracks thus far. Her last start was a little disappointing when dropping back in grade, she was beaten 4 \u00bd lengths in a small stakes field. The multiple Graded Placed filly will most likely be sitting just in behind the hot pace, and look for her to be working her way to the line from the 3F marker. Top Sp# 81, and with some improvement on that we can expect her to be there about. <\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

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

PP2: STARRAHY EYED(KY) <\/SPAN><\/STRONG>8\/1<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/STRONG><\/SPAN><\/P>

Danzig<\/SPAN><\/B><\/st1:place> mares have had a massive year in producing 2yo winners, and Starrahy<\/B> Eyed is no exception, winning 3 of her 4 starts. She has gone from strength to strength, making the step up to graded racing today. Her 4 runs have only seen her produce a top SP# of 73. Although she has been racing in small fields, we are going to need to see an improvement on that figure today. M Buck ( 632 – 152 – 109 – 95 – 24% ) is having a very good year and will be looking to have the filly sitting just off the leaders backs coming into the straight. May need time to mature yet, but so far she has done everything right. <\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

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

PP3: KEPLER RSM(KY) <\/SPAN><\/STRONG>6\/1<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/STRONG><\/SPAN><\/P>

Equal favorite in this very open field is another <\/SPAN><\/STRONG>Rahy<\/SPAN><\/STRONG> filly, this time out of a Storm Cat mare. 3 from 4 including a win on the dirt, <\/SPAN><\/STRONG>Kepler Rsm<\/SPAN><\/STRONG> ran an absolute bottler last start. Coming from 4 lengths off the speed, she really sprinted hard to cross the line first by 1 \u00bd lengths and a SP# 83 to take out the G3 event. One of two graded winners in the field, she is going to have the race within her grasp at the top of the straight. Expect the early pace to be perfect for her racing style, and a top 3 finish is more than likely. The one to beat according to form and early markets.<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/STRONG><\/P>

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

PP4: <\/SPAN><\/STRONG>SISSON’S AZAMOUR(IRE) <\/SPAN><\/STRONG>11\/1<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/STRONG><\/P>

From the moonbeam<\/I> stable comes this unbeaten daughter of <\/SPAN><\/STRONG>Azamour<\/SPAN><\/STRONG>. Only the 2 races so far, one a MSW and the other a Alw, have resulting in 2 untested victories. Today she makes the huge step up to G1 level, but the expectation is good from the stable, believing that this is her class. Although lightly raced, she has proven she is more than ready for this with a nice SP# of 80 last start. If she keeps improving at this current rate, we can expect her to be in the finish. Should be up there contesting for the lead.<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/STRONG><\/P>

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

PP5: <\/SPAN><\/STRONG>ANABAABIN(KY) <\/SPAN><\/STRONG>12\/1<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/STRONG><\/P>

This bold, front running horse was just caught on the line last start, finding the 1400m just a bit too long. We see her dropping back to her preferred distance today of 6F. Trainer toosharp<\/I> has this horse trained to the minute, giving her a good let up between runs should have her fresh enough to drop back in distance and still produce a SP# over 80. She is quick out of the gates and we might see her leading in the early stages. Even though she is the outsider of the field, I wouldn\u2019t be surprised to see her leading over the line too. <\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/STRONG><\/P>

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

PP6: <\/SPAN><\/STRONG>LARF DA HOUSEDOWN(KY) <\/SPAN><\/STRONG>6\/1<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/STRONG><\/P>

This GP daughter of <\/SPAN><\/STRONG>Limehouse<\/SPAN><\/STRONG> likes to over-race a bit in her races resulting in her just pegging out over the concluding stages. Last time out making the switch to turf, trainer rharfbeam<\/I> used a change of riding tactics on her, electing to just settle her off the leaders back. This gave her the opportunity to relax and finish off, which she did in good time and recording an SP# 76. Would like to see a bit of improvement on that today, before I lay any hard-earned on her. Equal fav, but should be starting a lot longer odds I feel. Talented but needs time.<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/STRONG><\/P>

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

PP7: PROCLAIM THE TRUTH(IRE) <\/SPAN><\/STRONG>10\/1<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/STRONG><\/SPAN><\/P>

A late entry for this event, <\/SPAN><\/STRONG>Proclaim the Truth<\/SPAN><\/STRONG> is not without her place in this field. She\u2019s won 2 from 5 and nearly 200k in stakes. But her form has come in her last to runs, where she stormed home to place in the <\/SPAN><\/STRONG>Fauster’s Juvenile Cup -G1 and the Escapade Juvenile -G3, just running out of ground both times. Her trainer Irishman<\/I> has pinpointed this race long in advance and convinced his colleagues she was entitled to race. He commented on her during the week, \u201cShe is out of one of my favorite, and very productive, retired mares… Alyjet<\/B>.\u00a0 Her sire may not be considered a “big” name by many but “IVAN <\/B><\/SPAN>DENISOVICH<\/SPAN><\/B> (IRE)<\/SPAN> is far from terrible (3\/4 brother to War Chant)\u00a0and out of the fantastic Hollywood Wildcat.\u00a0 I expect her to run a very game race and I think she has a very good chance of winning.\u201d Form is good, and if she isn\u2019t winning here, look for her in the oaks next year.<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

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

PP8: <\/SPAN>CK MOSH PIT(KY) <\/SPAN><\/STRONG>7\/1<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/STRONG><\/P>

An outstanding career so far, Ck Mosh Pit<\/B> is a winner of 5 races and ranked 2nd<\/SUP> in turf sprints. This small but very athletic, light dappled grey filly has taken every race in her small stride thus far, winning the <\/SPAN>Little Ones Juvenile Filly -G2 stakes 4 starts ago. The highly strung filly can be a hand full for her handlers, but head trainer of Ck Stables<\/I>, Jack Allen<\/I> says its all part of her routine. \u201c<\/SPAN>She has quite the attitude, she thinks she is the best thing on 4 feet. She likes to buck and kick her feet out to the side, so all her handlers and Jockeys are a little bit extra careful around her. B. Wu<\/I> is her favorite person in the world and if I get lucky and can get him for the ride in the World Cup I think she will win, she would run her heart out for him.\u201d Unfortunately Wu couldn\u2019t make the trip but champion jockey <\/SPAN>T Loesch ( 646 – 159 – 144 – 101 – 25% ) has been booked for the ride. Jack also stated the horse is sharp<\/SPAN> and wont fail to try as hard as she can. Expect to see a big run from this little filly with a big heart.<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

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

PP9: <\/SPAN>MOLINERA(ENG)<\/SPAN><\/STRONG> 9\/1<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/STRONG><\/P>

Breeding would suggest that this filly is a dirt specialist, but so far Molinera<\/B> has proven her worth on the turf tracks. The very underrated <\/SPAN>T Monk ( 585 – 105 – 91 – 93 – 18% ) takes the mount. He is riding in terrific form and always has the horse right where you want it. With 2 stakes wins to her name already, its hard to count this filly out of the race as she seems to improve with every run. It\u2019s anyone\u2019s guess where she will settle in the running, but one thing she does know what to do is find the line. Will need to improve on a top SP# of 78.<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

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

PP10: LEARAWI(ENG) <\/SPAN><\/STRONG>7\/1<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/STRONG><\/SPAN><\/P>

What a very interesting runner we have here. Head trainer of zeppelinz<\/I> stables, Terry<\/I> has told me during the week that he thinks his filly is good enough to win the race despite still being a maiden runner. When asked what her chances were in the race Terry replied \u201c<\/SPAN><\/STRONG>Fair to hopeful, if she made top 3 i would be pleased, worse than 5th disappointed. She has been working extremely well at present, her preps have been perfect apart from getting the win in those two races, but nice time to get the win now. I think 6f is a bit on the short side but her condition is sharp.\u201d And I\u2019m starting to agree with him, she is one of only a few in the race who have run a SP# over 80 and her runs have her cherry ripe to break the maiden status. I think it would have to go down in the record books as the only horse in World Cup history to break the duck in a WC event. Good luck Terry.<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/PRE>
\u00a0<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/PRE>
PP11: <\/SPAN>VIXEN<\/SPAN><\/STRONG><\/st1:PlaceName> <\/SPAN><\/STRONG>VALLEY<\/SPAN><\/STRONG><\/st1:PlaceType><\/st1:place>(KY) <\/SPAN><\/STRONG>7\/1<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/STRONG><\/PRE>
Undefeated in 3 starts <\/SPAN>Vixen<\/SPAN><\/B><\/st1:PlaceName> <\/SPAN><\/B>Valley<\/SPAN><\/B><\/st1:PlaceType><\/st1:place> is a filly on the rise. She has won on dirt and turf and produced some good SP# to boot. She is by Orientate, out of the good race mare Vixen Prospector<\/B>, who was trained and owned by the team at focusforce stables who also train this filly. During the week we caught up with the trainer of this filly who gave us a good insight into his filly chances and his good race mare Vixen Prospector. \u201c<\/SPAN>Vixen<\/SPAN><\/STRONG><\/st1:PlaceName> <\/SPAN><\/B>Valley<\/SPAN><\/STRONG><\/st1:PlaceType><\/st1:place>\u00a0<\/SPAN><\/STRONG>is the fifth foal of\u00a0my very quick Vixen Prospector<\/SPAN><\/STRONG>.\u00a0 Vixen Prospector had the most lethal stretch kick of any horse I ever trained in my eight years around here.\u00a0 In three successive races, including the Grade III Flying Pig at just five furlongs, Vixen Prospector came from many lengths behind to win going away at the wire.\u00a0 She could flat out fly in the lane.\u201d\u00a0 <\/SPAN>As with many Capotes, the big mare was particularly\u00a0effective\u00a0on wet tracks, amassing a career record of <\/SPAN>3-4-1<\/SPAN><\/st1:date> in eight starts over the off going.\u00a0 So it is no accident that all three of <\/SPAN>Vixen<\/SPAN><\/st1:PlaceName> <\/SPAN>Valley<\/SPAN><\/st1:PlaceType><\/st1:place>‘s starts have been on a wet track.\u00a0 Like mother like daughter.\u00a0 Trainer focusforce\u00a0knew he\u2019d have to race her over a dry surface some day, but was hoping for rain in <\/SPAN>Minnesota<\/SPAN><\/st1:place><\/st1:State> this week to bolster his chances.\u00a0No such luck. She\u2019s had a good break between runs and if she handles the firm track, there\u2019s a good chance she will still be undefeated after the race.<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>
\u00a0<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>
PP12:<\/SPAN> CIRCUS PLUME(ENG) <\/SPAN><\/STRONG>12\/1<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/STRONG><\/P>
Well this filly might not have the breeding of a World Cup runner, but she certainly has a place in this field. From 5 starts she has won 3 and run 2nd<\/SUP> in her other two. They have all been at stakes level except for her maiden win. She is the 1st<\/SUP> stakes winner for her sire Piccolo<\/B> and might yet be his 1st<\/SUP> graded winner. Last start she came from midfield to just miss out on running down the winner, recording the fastest SP#, for this field, of 85. A repeat performance could see her in the winners circle again.<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>
Whisper from the Wizard:<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/U><\/B><\/P>
Plenty of speed and skill is the order of the day. Here\u2019s my top 3:<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>
1st<\/SUP>– <\/SPAN>KEPLER RSM(KY): <\/SPAN><\/STRONG>Ready for this. Will get a nice run off the speed and will really sprint hard to the line. If there is any improvement in her, we will see her winning today.<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/STRONG><\/P>
2nd<\/SUP>– <\/SPAN><\/STRONG>VIXEN<\/SPAN><\/STRONG><\/st1:PlaceName> <\/SPAN><\/STRONG>VALLEY<\/SPAN><\/STRONG><\/st1:PlaceType><\/st1:place>(KY): <\/SPAN><\/STRONG>From such a good family of race horses , this filly is continuing the tread. Would love to see her remain unbeaten here today, and won\u2019t be far off if she does get beat.<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/STRONG><\/P>
3rd<\/SUP>– <\/SPAN><\/STRONG>PROCLAIM THE TRUTH(IRE): <\/SPAN><\/STRONG>Untapped potential, here is a horse who I don\u2019t think we will see the best of until her 3yo year. Look for her to be flashing home down the centre of the track late. Can\u2019t wait to see her over a mile and further.<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/STRONG><\/P>
\u00a0<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/STRONG><\/P>
Good Luck to all runners, you have done well just to be here!!<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/STRONG><\/P>
