First, a quick recap of last week\u2019s race.\u00a0 2 time winner Golden Temptress<\/b> bolted out of the gate but was joined at the front by Livincal <\/b>and Big Band Channel<\/b>, setting a solid pace in the 7f race.\u00a0 Those three stayed out front for a little while, but the pace got to all of them and they dropped off at the halfway point.\u00a0 From there, All We Hear Is<\/b> took over the lead, but that lead was short lived, as No Nay Spirit <\/b>came with a big move from the middle of the pack.\u00a0 No Nay Spirit<\/b> ($14.40) grabbed the lead in the stretch and pulled away, drawing off to win by 1-1\/2 lengths with an 82 SP.\u00a0 All We Can Hear <\/b>managed to narrowly hang on for second, just edging out Damardal<\/b>.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not sure why, but it seems that since the Future Stars Series has switched to 2yos, it has found that the best 2yo fields are fillies.\u00a0 I\u2019ve got some theories on this (is there something amiss in my code?\u00a0 Is it that there are fewer filly-only races, so the fields are larger?\u00a0 Is it really just coincidence?).\u00a0 But the result is that, for the 4th<\/sup> week in a row, we stick with the fairer sex.\u00a0 We stay in Berkshire, England this week, where 11 fillies try to tackle 7 furlongs on the turf in an Allowance race.\u00a0 The field is:<\/p>\n #1 – Cathedral Cove<\/b> (Sir Percy (GB) x Continuity Sioux [High Chaparral (IRE) x Pivotal]) \u2013 Owned by drivelhead002<\/i> \u2013 12\/1<\/p>\n Race Record<\/span>: 2:1-0-0; $24,456<\/p>\n Capsule<\/span>: Cathedral Cove debuted in a Local MSW on February 24 at 6f on the turf, and at 13\/1 odds she stalked the pace early and got up late, sneaking into the lead to win by a head with a 67 SP.\u00a0 She came back 2 months later in a NW2L at 6.5f and stalked the pace again, but faltered a little late and settled for 5th<\/sup>, though she was only 2-1\/2 lengths behind the winner, who would come back next time out to run 3rd<\/sup> in a G3.\u00a0 Cathedral Cove is the 6th<\/sup> foal from 9yo mare Continuity Sioux, a winner of 1 of her 13 career races.\u00a0 That win came at 7f on the turf, though she put up some decent allowance runs at distances as long as 9f before moving to the claiming ranks and then retiring.\u00a0 Her first couple of foals had talent on the track, as both were stakes placed, one in long distance turf races, and one in turf sprints (including a 3rd<\/sup> place finish in a 7f-T G2).\u00a0 Unfortunately, none of the next 4 siblings of Cathedral Cove have done anything on the track, all spending most of their time in the claiming ranks and rarely finding the winner\u2019s circle.\u00a0 Cathedral Cove\u2019s sire, Sir Percy ($7,000), was the winner of the 2006 Epsom Derby<\/span> at 12f-T and was the #95 ranked EU sire in 2018.\u00a0 The sim hasn\u2019t had much interest in him as a sire though, as he\u2019s a bargain price and his 2018 crop consists of his standard 15 runners.\u00a0 Only 5 of those have won, leaving him currently ranked #1,886 for the year.\u00a0 Overall, his horses are largely turf runners that like to run long (69% of earnings on turf, 61% in routes), possibly explaining the low winning percentage (especially compared to earlier years), which is in line with both Sir Percy\u2019s actual running style and his real world 10.09 AWD. There is one other sim horse with the similar Sir Percy x High Chaparral bloodlines, but he has only 1 win in 11 starts.\u00a0 Cathedral Cove (DI: 1.00, CD: 0.00) is bred for long distance running, so extra distance should help here, but she might need to take a step forward from her last race to compete here.<\/p>\n Watch Level<\/span>: Medium<\/p>\n #2 – Lingering Drama<\/b> (Odyssey Moon x Isolationism [Shamardal x Halo]) \u2013 Owned by redsleeps<\/i> – 8\/1<\/p>\n Race Record<\/span>: 1:1-0-0;

his 2019 crop already includes 1 turf sprinting stakes winner as well, as that crop is currently ranked #14 overall (27 winners from 59 runners).\u00a0 His sim foals heavily prefer turf, with 82% of earnings coming on the sod, but they are pretty evenly split distance-wise, (52% of earnings are in routes, but 55% of the wins are in sprints).\u00a0 Vestida De Fiesta is Came Curlin\u2019s first foal.\u00a0 Came Curlin wasn\u2019t much on the track, with just 2 wins in 30 career starts, both coming in back-to-back races on the dirt at the claiming level (a $20K MCL at 6f and a $100K NW2L Claimer at 8.5f).\u00a0 Vestida De Fiesta (DI: 1.09, CD: 0.08) is bred to run long, so she should like the additional \u00bd furlong here, and with the improvements she\u2019s shown in each race thus far, she stands a strong chance here.<\/p>\n Watch Level<\/span>: Medium<\/p>\n #4 – Royal Status<\/b> (Wootton Bassett (GB) x Gone In Sixty [Medaglia D\u2019Oro x Spinning World]) \u2013 Owned by riversdale<\/i> \u2013 10\/1<\/p>\n Race Record<\/span>: 2:1-0-1;

By the numbers, Gold Allure\u2019s sim foals tend to favor sprinting (with a very slight edge to the dirt).\u00a0 Arusha Record, the dame of Crying Allure, won 16 of her 42 career races, all on the turf, with her best result coming in a 6.5f turf stakes that she won by 2 lengths.\u00a0 She hasn\u2019t quite passed down that talent to her first 4 foals, however.\u00a0 None of the 3 have won a race at the allowance level, with all of their wins coming on the turf (some in routes, some in sprints).\u00a0 The Gold Allure x Street Cry cross has been used 8 times in the past 5 years, producing 7 winners who are mostly sprinters, including 1 graded stakes winning turf sprinter.\u00a0 Although the cross has produced some sprinters, Crying Allure\u2019s pedigree (DI: 1.32, CD: 0.36) suggests that she might like longer racing.\u00a0 Look for her to go for the lead again here and try to hang on late.<\/p>\n Watch Level<\/span>: Medium<\/p>\n #9 – Otto Seattle<\/b> (Dubawi (IRE) x Benaroya Hall [Smart Strike x Seattle Slew]) \u2013 Owned by merrychristmas<\/i> \u2013 3\/1 (f<\/i>)<\/p>\n Race Record<\/span>: 1:1-0-0;

CD: 0.83) looks like she likes sprinting and is headed in the right direction.<\/p>\n Watch Level<\/span>: Medium<\/p>\n #11<\/b> – Lope Cartoon<\/b> (Lope De Vega x Invincible Lonhro (Invincible Spirit (IRE) x Theatrical) \u2013 Owned by harrylan4<\/i> \u2013 5\/1<\/p>\n Race Record<\/span>: 2:2-0-0; $36,360<\/p>\n Capsule<\/span>: Lope Cartoon enters this race as the only multiple winner in the field.\u00a0 After stalking the pace in her debut at 6f-T on March 29, she came on late and drew off to win by 1-1\/4 lengths, giving the 5\/2 favorite a 72 SP for the win, and she repeated last time out in a Local NW2L allowance, winning by 2 lengths with a 69 SP.\u00a0 Lope Cartoon is by Lope De Vega ($80,000), the #13 ranked EU sire in 2018.\u00a0 Lope De Vega\u2019s 2018 sim crop hasn\u2019t quite caught up to the real life sire, as they currently ranking #168 overall, with 79 runners and 48 winners, 3 of those scoring at the stakes level.\u00a0 His sim foals show a strong preference for the turf (76% of earnings on turf), but are pretty middle-ground when it comes to distances, which makes sense given Lope De Vega\u2019s real life AWD of 8.04 (though on the numbers, there is a slight preference in the sim for sprinting, as 53% of his foals wins have come in sprints and his sim AWD is 7.53).\u00a0 Lope Cartoon is the 3rd<\/sup> foal from 6yo mare Invincible Lonhro, who won 3 of her 18 career races, all in the 9.5-10.5f range with most of her success coming on turf.\u00a0 Her first foal didn\u2019t do much in her 11 race career, but her second foal is 2 for 7 to date, looking like a solid turf sprinter.\u00a0 The Lope De Vega x Invincible Spirit has been pretty successful, with 7 of the 8 foals finding the winner\u2019s circle (5 at the allowance level), all on the turf, and 1 stakes winning turf sprinter among the group.\u00a0 Lope Cartoon (DI: 1.29, CD: 0.13) looks to be bred for longer distances, but as the only horse in this field who has proven that she can beat winners, she\u2019s got a decent chance today.<\/p>\n Watch Level<\/span>: High<\/p>\n —<\/p>\n That\u2019s the field of 11.\u00a0 Honestly, this one seems wide open \u2013 I think any of these horses has a shot.\u00a0 So, with that, I\u2019m gonna go with: (1) Otto Seattle<\/b>; (2) Lope Cartoon<\/b>; (3) Lingering Drama<\/b>.\u00a0 Good luck!<\/p>\n Other Races to watch this weekend:<\/p>\n 1)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Minnesota \u2013 Allowance @ 7f (Fillies)<\/a><\/p>\n 2)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Kentucky \u2013 Alw NW2L @ 7f-T<\/a><\/p>\n 3)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Kentucky \u2013 Alw NW2L @ 7f (Fillies)<\/a><\/p>\n 4)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Kentucky \u2013 Allowance @ 7f<\/a><\/p>\n
