The months leading up to the Breeders Bowl Distaff were a fruitful one for this 3yo; taking out three graded races, the most recent being the <B style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal\">G2-Cotton Handicap <\/B>over 8.5f where she won nicely with a career best 110 speed figure. The <B style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal\">G1-Breeders Bowl Distaff <\/B>was a different story however with KATHERINE failing to fire, coming home a middle-of-the-road 9<SUP>th<\/SUP>. She\u2019ll face the first and third placed runners from the BB here again today and looks to turn the tables on them both with what her owners hope is a quick bounce back to winning ways.<o:p><\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/FONT><\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"><SPAN style=\"FONT-SIZE: 9pt; LETTER-SPACING: 1.05pt\"><o:p>\u00a0<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P><\/TD><\/TR><TR style=\"HEIGHT: 10.05pt; mso-yfti-irow: 11\"><TD style=\"BORDER-RIGHT: #ece9d8; PADDING-RIGHT: 5.4pt; BORDER-TOP: #ece9d8; PADDING-LEFT: 5.4pt; BACKGROUND: blue; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0cm; BORDER-LEFT: #ece9d8; PADDING-TOP: 0cm; BORDER-BOTTOM: #ece9d8; HEIGHT: 10.05pt\" vAlign=top><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt; TEXT-ALIGN: center\" align=center><B style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal\"><SPAN style=\"LETTER-SPACING: -0.2pt\">6<o:p><\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/B><\/P><\/TD><TD style=\"BORDER-RIGHT: #ece9d8; PADDING-RIGHT: 5.4pt; BORDER-TOP: #ece9d8; PADDING-LEFT: 5.4pt; BACKGROUND: blue; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0cm; BORDER-LEFT: #ece9d8; PADDING-TOP: 0cm; BORDER-BOTTOM: #ece9d8; HEIGHT: 10.05pt\" vAlign=top><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"><B style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal\"><SPAN style=\"FONT-SIZE: 9pt; COLOR: red\"><A href=\"http:\/\/derbyfever.com\/hr\/runtime\/prettyhorse.asp?hossnum=81052\"><SPAN style=\"COLOR: red\">81052<\/SPAN><\/A> <\/SPAN><\/B><B style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal\"><SPAN style=\"FONT-SIZE: 9pt; LETTER-SPACING: -0.2pt\"><SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0<\/SPAN>ARAWAZA<o:p><\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/B><\/P><\/TD><\/TR><TR style=\"mso-yfti-irow: 12\"><TD style=\"BORDER-RIGHT: #ece9d8; PADDING-RIGHT: 5.4pt; BORDER-TOP: #ece9d8; PADDING-LEFT: 5.4pt; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0cm; BORDER-LEFT: #ece9d8; PADDING-TOP: 0cm; BORDER-BOTTOM: #ece9d8; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent\" vAlign=top><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt; TEXT-ALIGN: center\" align=center><B style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal\"><SPAN style=\"LETTER-SPACING: -0.2pt\"><o:p><IMG src=\"http:\/\/derbyfever.com\/hr\/runtime\/.%5C..%5Cprofiles%5Cgiven_silks3383760008.gif\">\u00a0<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/B><\/P><\/TD><TD style=\"BORDER-RIGHT: #ece9d8; PADDING-RIGHT: 5.4pt; BORDER-TOP: #ece9d8; PADDING-LEFT: 5.4pt; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0cm; BORDER-LEFT: #ece9d8; PADDING-TOP: 0cm; BORDER-BOTTOM: #ece9d8; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent\" vAlign=top colSpan=2><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"><B style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal\"><SPAN style=\"FONT-SIZE: 9pt; LETTER-SPACING: 1.05pt\"><o:p>\u00a0<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/B><\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"><SPAN style=\"FONT-SIZE: 9pt; LETTER-SPACING: 1.05pt\"><FONT color=black>Next up we have one of the heavy-hitters of the dirt classic division; the number three ranked <B style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal\">ARAWAZA. <\/B>This beautifully bred mare (<I style=\"mso-bidi-font-style: normal\">A.P.

CONL has been on a meteoric rise in 2007, rising from the maiden ranks to that of a graded winner (against elders) in just seven months, a fantastic achievement. Her results up until September 22<SUP>nd<\/SUP> could be labeled promising but not spectacular. They were a listed stakes and a couple of quick allowance wins on the trot. Like I said; promising but not spectacular. <o:p><\/o:p><\/FONT><\/SPAN><\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"><SPAN style=\"FONT-SIZE: 9pt; LETTER-SPACING: 1.05pt\"><o:p><FONT color=black>\u00a0<\/FONT><\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"><SPAN style=\"FONT-SIZE: 9pt; LETTER-SPACING: 1.05pt\"><FONT color=black>A long-shot win in the <B style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal\">G1-World Cup<\/B> would change all that. The star-studded field including IRREVERSIBLE and MASTER AND COMMAND had no answer for the young upstart as she propelled herself onto the main stage in a tightly contested race. To prove is wasn\u2019t a fluke she followed it up with a strong second in the <B style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal\">G1-Three Smokestacks Stakes<\/B> next time out.

In this case her horror run came in the BB Distaff where she was never in it, finishing well back in 13<SUP>th<\/SUP>. Like the others, these runs can usually be put aside as anomalies but if she is to win here she is going to need to bounce back and bounce back hard. <o:p><\/o:p><\/FONT><\/SPAN><\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"><SPAN style=\"FONT-SIZE: 9pt; LETTER-SPACING: 1.05pt\"><o:p><FONT color=black>\u00a0<\/FONT><\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P><P class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"><SPAN style=\"FONT-SIZE: 9pt; LETTER-SPACING: 1.05pt\"><FONT color=black>Good luck to her owners and to everyone else with a runner.
