Its exciting week for race goers at Newmarket this week as they have the privilage of two grade 1`s on the card. Supporting these pair of races, the tenth race on Saturdays card The SEEKING GREATNESS Stakes.<\/I><\/FONT>It will be run over a mile on the firm turf for 2 yo fillies who are competing for a purse of $80000.<\/P> <\/P> \u00a0<\/P> 1) SOMEOLDMINER <\/FONT>danmancan <\/I><\/FONT>232161 J Bradley <\/FONT>3\/2 Fav<\/P> <\/P><\/B><\/FONT> 2 yo filly<\/P> <\/P> Mineshaft x Danzig x Buckpasser<\/P> <\/P> 7 runs 2 wins 3 seconds 1 third $72354<\/P> <\/P> Looks the standard bearer in this race after his latest effort in a $30400 nw2l in Ireland, his first on turf. Won impressively with a speed of 89, smashing his lifetime best. No other in this race can boast as high a speed figure and Someoldmine looks like he will take all the beating here. Oppose at your own risk.<\/P> <\/P> \u00a0<\/P> 2) MAD STAR <\/FONT>graywolf5 <\/I><\/FONT>426423 A Craig <\/FONT>5\/1<\/P> <\/P><\/B><\/FONT> 2 yo filly<\/P> <\/P> Dont Get Mad x Star Trace x Speak<\/P> <\/P> 10 runs 1 win 2 seconds 1 third $37373<\/P> <\/P> Mad Star has been a busy little filly and has improved a little of late, but even her best leaves her with a mountain to climb with the favorite. 2 runs back she achieved her pb speed figure when finishing runner up in an 8 furlong nw2l allowance in Germany, settling in 2nd and staying there the whole race to run a 78. Lto led until the furlong pole but managed to keep on for 3rd in a mile stakes at this track, running a 75. Cant see her troubling the favorite today.<\/P> <\/P> \u00a0<\/P> 3) SISSONS`S ACTRESS <\/FONT>devil <\/I><\/FONT>3116 J Liddle <\/FONT>5\/2<\/P> <\/P><\/B><\/FONT> 2 yo filly<\/P> <\/P> Empire maker x Theatrical x Irish River<\/P> <\/P> 4 runs 2 wins 1 third $38668<\/P> <\/P> Going the right way and improving with every run. He has also stepped up in distance with every trip to the track. Lto tackled a mile for the first time and although not good enough to trouble the leaders she still put up a respectable performance to finish 6th, beaten 4 3\/4 lengths in her first try in stakes company. This is a little easier today and she will improve, but whether she can improve enough to go past the favorite is the big question.<\/P> <\/P> \u00a0<\/P> 4) NEAR ON THE STAR <\/FONT>holdasec <\/I><\/FONT>334411 Bo Edwards <\/FONT>6\/1<\/P> <\/P><\/B><\/FONT> 2 yo filly<\/P> <\/P> Star Dabbler x Borzoi x Carvinalay<\/P> <\/P> 7 wins 2 wins 2 thirds $50016<\/P> <\/P> Showed considerable improvement lto when winning his first allowance race at her first attempt after taking 6 races to win her maiden. She led all the way at Queensland that day to record only her second success with a speed of 84. As good as that run was, with the favorite looking so strong she will probably need a little more here today. She may well end up shooting for a place.<\/P> <\/P> \u00a0<\/P> 5) RAINING DACSDACS <\/FONT>bmr005 <\/I><\/FONT>123211 K Mitchell <\/FONT>5\/2<\/P> <\/P><\/B><\/FONT> 2 yo filly<\/P> <\/P> Dubawi x Daliapour x Rainbow Quest<\/P> <\/P> 6 runs 3 wins 2 seconds 1 third $130610<\/P> <\/P> Tough and concistant stakes winning 2yo who has never finished out of the places in 6 trips to the track. Surprisingly though he isnt progressive and needs to achieve a lifetime best, and by a considerable margin to hold any chance of upsetting the favorite here. It looks even more unlikely when you consider the furthest he has traveled is 6.5 furlongs and takes a hike in distance here. His stamina has to be taken on trust, and I dont trust it.<\/P> <\/P> \u00a0<\/P> POGO PREDICTS<\/P> <\/P><\/B><\/I><\/U><\/FONT> The favorite looks a good thing here. 1 to beat 3 with 4 in third.<\/P><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Someoldminer upsets the Acrtess on the road to greatness!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":335,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_container_layout":"default_layout","colormag_page_sidebar_layout":"default_layout","footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5124","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-previews"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5124","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/335"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=5124"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5124\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=5124"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=5124"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=5124"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
