A very classy field of twelve will line up for this\u00a0event fashioned for older\u00a0turf sprinters\u00a0at six and one half furlongs.\u00a0 We shall examine the field in post position order.<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
Breaking from the hedge will be the EAAA based Buckridge Native<\/STRONG>(IRE).\u00a0 The talented Indian Ridge(IRE) stallion scored a stunning come from behind victory in Ontario three starts back while posting a 110 speed number for this exact distance.\u00a0 That score punched his ticket to the\u00a0prestigious Grade I Japan Cup\u00a0where Awhisper’s homebred was beaten just over three lengths in a solid performance.\u00a0 Buckridge Native remained in Japan for his Challenge prep last time out and closed rapidly to finish second as the even money favorite.\u00a0 The second choice in the wagering is fast and fit.\u00a0 Dangerous.<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
Ireland’s He’s Crafty<\/STRONG> drew the deuce.\u00a0 The versatile son of Crafty Prospector and the 100% stakes producing Storm Cat mare, Miss Cat, has won added money events on both fast dirt and wet turf.\u00a0 He’ll try to add a dry grass stakes win to his\u00a0resume on Saturday.\u00a0 A brief word about Miss Cat is in order here.\u00a0 The fifteen year old’s first foal is the now retired graded winning Nureyev stallion,\u00a0Crypt O’ Night.\u00a0 She was barren for the next 6 years before foaling He’s Crafty.\u00a0\u00a0Trainer Browns has enlisted journeyman Sam Collins to ride his four year old homebred.\u00a0\u00a0Will enjoy the class relief from grade I company.\u00a0 Not impossible.\u00a0 <\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
Number three is Alpine Turf Club’s Muadib<\/STRONG>.\u00a0 Eddieleggs’ War Chant colt arrives in peak form having annexed an ATC stake with a personal best 101 speed figure last time out.\u00a0 In that event, held at the ATC home track of Germany, Muadib closed from tenth to score a going away win in a brisk 1:22.2 for the seven grassy furlongs.\u00a0 Closing in on $400,000 in career earnings but the veteran sprinter will need his very best against this tougher and deeper field.\u00a0 <\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
The Emerald Isle’s second\u00a0entry is the appropriately named Beating The Odds<\/STRONG>(MD).\u00a0 The longshot in the field at 15-1, Flyingtail’s\u00a0stakes winning, graded placed Oratory four year old looks to upset the applecart just as he did last time out in his victorious Swedish\u00a0allowance prep.\u00a0 The son of well bred and lightly raced Ice\u00a0Exalt (Gulch x Vice Regent) needs to\u00a0kick it up a notch to be competitive\u00a0with this kind.<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
Givelovetheboot<\/STRONG> proudly carries the ATC\u00a0banner into battle.\u00a0 Safbred’s quick but inconsistent Storm Boot stallion has won fifteen races in a forty six start career.\u00a0 But he’s\u00a0often been the type to toss a clunker when least expected.\u00a0 For instance, two back the six year old won a Colorado stake very impressively, running the six panels in 1:09.2 and posting a healthy 105 speed figure.\u00a0 But he followed that up with a dull seventh behind Muadib as the 9-5 choice.\u00a0 Certainly a factor if he brings his “A” game.<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
The clever Foxon4 sends out Mr. Inconspicuous<\/STRONG>(KY) for the Alpine gang.\u00a0 Unlike teammate Givelovetheboot, this guy is amazingly consistent having hit the board in eighteen of twenty one tries on the turf.\u00a0 The son of Aptitude from the Grade II winning Bring Me Joy (Forty Niner) prepped in South Africa and finished a good second as the favorite after setting all the pace while posting a respectable 100 speed rating.\u00a0 Can get part with his best try.<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
EAAA’s Eye Of The World<\/STRONG>(IRE)\u00a0is a deep closing four year old.\u00a0 Three back\u00a0Shamran7’s filly\u00a0edged out\u00a0a Grade I field of\u00a0distaffers in an Ohio turf sprint.\u00a0 But\u00a0her last two starts were so-so as she never fired in either race and missed the board both times.\u00a0 The daughter of Dubawi(IRE) and Sack The Castle\u00a0has won numerous stakes races and three graded events so if she can put it all together, she could win this.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
Sing Symfonic<\/STRONG> is the final Irish starter.\u00a0 The son of Singspiel(IRE) and Afleetfonix (Zafonic) was a holy terror early last year winning six races, including\u00a0three stakes, and placing in a Grade II.\u00a0 But he hasn’t won in the past six months.\u00a0 On the positive side, Sing Symfonic did manage a pair of seconds in his last two outings and his trainer, Dancards,\u00a0is one of the best at pointing a horse for a particular event.\u00a0 Could surprise.\u00a0 <\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
Next on the barrier are a trio of Queensland based runners, the first of which is Given Me Reasons<\/STRONG>.\u00a0 The veteran sprinter has been very good for a very long time.\u00a0 Back in 2004, she won her first three career starts including\u00a0the Grade III Fast Lane Stakes.\u00a0 Mkracing2 worked his filly a brisk half in :47.32 Wednesday morning in hopes of sharpening\u00a0his pretty gray Silver Ghost mare’s speed\u00a0a bit following a few\u00a0lackluster races.\u00a0 Does fit if here if she fires.<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
Western Gladiator<\/STRONG>(KY) arrives in peak form for the Challenge.\u00a0 The Gone West colt has won two in a row and five of his last seven.\u00a0 His 110 speed figure winning a stake in Taiwan last time out was very impressive.\u00a0 Drilled a bullet five eighths in :58.05 over the turf course on Tuesday A.M.\u00a0 Cocked, locked and ready to rock.<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
Roys sends out her pride and joy Oh Black Water<\/STRONG> for the Queensland brigade.\u00a0 The multiple stakes winner has banked almost $340, 000 for the Stickup stable.\u00a0 The son of High Yield and A. P. Swamp (A. P. Indy) finished a solid third in his Swedish allowance prep (99 speed rating).\u00a0 Tries hard every time so you never know.<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
I saved the best for last.\u00a0 Gate twelve will hold the best turf sprinter in the world right now.\u00a0 His name is Mr Devious<\/STRONG>.\u00a0 Where does one begin to describe\u00a0Londoner’s sod god?\u00a0 Last time out the big son of Crafty Prospector and Lady Storm (Storm Cat) absolutely destroyed an excellent field in the Grade I Japan Cup.\u00a0 Three back he defeated what is, in all probability, the finest field of turf sprinters ever assembled in the inaugural Grade I Breeder Bowl Turf Sprint.\u00a0 Back in May he won the Grade I Rising Sun in 1:21 flat (114).\u00a0 In only fifteen career starts on the turf, Mr Devious has a record of 9-2-3-1 and over two million dollars in earnings.\u00a0 If he runs his race, the rest are running for second.<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
