I am heading over to one of my favorite track which is New York. Again this weekend they have another good G1 race on the card, The Great Dame. They will host this field of fillies and mares that will run over a distance of 9 furlongs on a Fast Dirt track. This looks to be an exciting race with many fine horses in this field of fourteen. I have had time to go over to the barns and check things out a little. The horses look in top form for the race and have been working out well on the track. The odds are now set and the post positions have been drawn. So now lets take a preview of horses that will be running on Saturday in the G1, The Great Dame here in New York.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This four year old Union Rags filly has been doing well for\nher owner hitting the boards ten times in twelve career starts.  Her last trip to the track came on 08\/08\/2020\nwhen she went 9 furlongs in Massachusetts in the S.S. Blonde Dirt Mare\nChallenge.  She fired in that race at the\nthird call as she lingered just behind the leader.  She ran big down the stretch and drove\nherself home for a 2 \u00be length win.  She\ntakes a big jump in Class for this race to head out for the first time at the\nGraded level.  She will have jockey, T\nStone in the saddle who is a familiar jockey to her from here in New York.  She gets a good post draw for her running\nstyle and could show up to be a contender coming off a 114 speed rating her\nlast time out.  They will head out at post\ntime to represent the Empire State Racing residency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This five year old Bay Mare sired by Heart\u2019s Cry has had two\nnice recent performances on the track. \nShe ran on 06\/13\/2020 in Mexico in the G3, Vogue Handicap of which she\nmade a nice closing effort and hit the wire first to take the win by two\nlengths.  She came back out for her most\nrecent run in New York on 07\/26\/2020 in the G1, Go For The Gold Stakes.  He put up another nice effort moving up in\nClass and crossed the wire in third with a 113 speed rating.  The owner has placed the call over to\nDelaware to find jockey, M Kelly that is willing to come in and take to the\nsaddle for this race.  This first time\npairing will be headed out to their post draw to the sounds of the cheering\ncrowd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This four year old filly is a scratch bred by (DANSILI (GB)\nx SADLER’S WELLS x BLUSHING GROOM).  She\nhas shown that she likes to win and in twelve career starts has picked up six\nwins and has only missed the boards twice in her starts.  She had put up three wins in a row and then\ntook the leap to run in Graded company in New Jersey when she ran in the G2,\nThe Pitchers Molly at the distance of 8.5 furlongs.  She showed she could compete at this level as\nshe attempted to make a gate to wire run but was caught late and finished up\nsecond with a 111 speed rating.  That\nrace earned her a GP badge that day and she is looking to improve as she is in\nthe hunt for another trip to the winners circle here in New York.  She will get the services of jockey, D Givins\nwho is coming in from Kentucky to take to the irons.  They will enter the track in the post parade\nrepresenting the Blazing Saddles residency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This four year old Brown filly sired by Keen Ice will be one\nof the longer choices in the field according to the odds makers.  This horse has had a career of racing on both\nthe dirt and turf surfaces.  She has\nraced in many Graded events but a trip to the winners circle has always eluded\nher.  Her last two races came on the turf\nand they were kind of lack luster performances. \nHer last trip to the track was in South Africa on 08\/23\/2020 when she\ntried to go 11 furlongs in a Listed Stakes race, Dahliyev Turf Mare\nStayer.  She could not compete in this\nfield and crossed the wire in fourth and was over 18 lengths back.  She makes a return to the dirt here in New\nYork and will find jockey, E Bernstein from Germany in the saddle to ride with\nher.  This familiar pairing will head out\nof the paddock representing the Queensland Racecourse residency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a five year old Bay Mare that is a scratch bred (SHACKLEFORD\nx CONQUISTADOR CIELO x BE MY GUEST).  She\nhas shown the Class to contend in Graded company and has shown some nice speed\nratings before.  She will need to run one\nof her better performances here if she is going to find herself on the boards\nhere in New York.  She put up a very nice\neffort back in May of this year in Ontario when she ran in the G2, The Golfer\u2019s\nWager and threw down a 114 speed rating that propelled her to close for second\nplace.  She will get the services of jockey,\nC Jamison from who is a local jockey here at this New York track.  He will need to find a way to keep this mares\nhead in the race and see if he can get another of those good speed ratings out\nof her.  They will head to the post to\nrepresent the Universal Racing Club residency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This five year old Light Grey Mare is a scratch bred (AWESOME AGAIN x UNBRIDLED’S SONG x GIANT’S CAUSEWAY) and she has been hitting the boards nicely for her owner in her last two outing.  On 05\/23\/2020 she stepped it up going 9 furlongs in Arkansas in the G3, Poor Mona Lisa Handicap.  She closed at the third call from over ten lengths back to make an explosive run in the stretch and get up by 2 \u00bd lengths at the wire.  She then came back out on 07\/26\/2020 here in New York to run in the G1, Go for The Gold Stakes where she made another big closing effort to get to the wire in second.  If she can bring that top speed rating of 117 to this race she could be dangerous.  She will have jockey, F Gossett from California flying in to take his place up top for this Graded outing.  A good pop of a stinging whip should get her to fire around the third call.  They will head out to their gate draw to the sounds of a roaring crowd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This four year old Chestnut Filly is a scratch bred (GIANT’S\nCAUSEWAY x MR. PROSPECTOR x DEPUTY MINISTER) and she is coming off two nice\nwins as she steps into this race.  He won\nan Allowance race in July in Kentucky and then headed back out for her most\nrecent trip to the track in Illinois on 09\/05\/2020 going 9 furlongs in the G3,\nChicago Matron Handicap.  She fired like\na bullet at the third call and found her way to the winners circle in that\nouting with a 112 speed rating.  She is\ncoming in on a short rest of which I have concern and her top speed rating is\n112 of which I see better in this field. \nShe will have to prove she has the ability to step it up a little in\nthis race with jockey, C Gerhke in the saddle who is coming in from Maryland to\ntake the ride up top with her.  This\npairing will be headed out at the call to post representing the Midas\nresidency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This five year old Light Grey Mare will go out at post time as the morning line favorite at 5\/1 according to the odds maker\u2019s selections.  She had a good thing going with five wins in a row until she hit the wall running 8 furlongs in Vermont on 08\/02\/2020 in the Equinics G1, Taj Mahal.  She never found her stride in that race and went around the track fairly flat.  She crossed the wire in ninth place with a disappointing 105 speeding rating.  This G1 winning filly has the goods, she was just a little off that day and I think she will be looking to rebound here in New York with a nice run.  She will have the services of veteran jockey, P Wright from Arizona in the saddle for the first time.  I am sure he can handle this mare and get her to perform.  They will be heading out at post time to represent the GR Simsters residency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This four year old Bay Filly had been running on turf and doing quite well for her owner.  She is a multiple G3 winner and is a fine looking daughter of American Pharoah.  American Pharoah is known to be a dirt sire as is the mare of this filly, Equine Royalty who is a G1 winner and million dollar winner.  This mare has certainly been producing well for this owner.  Ideal Match made the switch to dirt in her last outing after exclusively running on the turf.  She went out to the dirt track in India and ran in a Listed Stakes, Dixieland Deputy Dirt Mare Route.  She showed up with a nice performance the first time running on the dirt and showed up in third at the wire with a 109 speed rating.  She is going to need all of that 109 and then some if she is going to compete with some of the mean girls in this field.  Her owner has place the call to jockey, J White from California who has rode this filly successfully in the past.  He is familiar with this horses running style of which she likes to linger in the second tier in most of her best outings.  They will be headed out on Saturday at post time to represent the Midas racing residency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This four year old daughter of Pioneerof The Nile will be headed back up in Class to face this field as she comes off a nice gate to wire performance in Argentina on 07\/19\/2020 in a Listed Stakes, Carol Of The Bells Dirt Mare Memorial.  She came out of the gate bolting and never looked back in this 9 furlong race.  She put up a nice 116 speed rating and showed the way home by a 2 \u00bc length win at the wire.  This filly has not missed the boards in her last five starts, but she is going to be taking a big jump in Class when she races here in New York on Saturday.  Her owner places the call to a familiar jockey in A Jolly from Louisiana who will crawl out of the bayou and make the trip to ride up top of this filly once again.  If this horse can bring her speed with her as she moves up in Class she could have a shot here when  they break from the gate representing the Empire State Racing residency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This four year old Brown Filly sired by Archwarrior found a\nnice win back in March of this year in Arkansas when she won the G3, The Azen\nBreeder\u2019s Bowl.  Since that time she has\nstruggled to find a trip back to the boards. \nShe did participate in the Equinics running in the G1, Taj Mahal at 8\nfurlongs in Vermont on 08\/02\/2020.  She\ncame in a disappointing eleventh in that race and is looking for a rebound here\nin New York on Saturday.  The owner puts\nin a call to Michigan to find an new jockey for his filly in L Kraft.  The owner is looking to spark the interest in\nthis horse and needs to see improvements. \nHer recent performances will not be able to match some of the horses in\nthis field unless her jockey can rekindle the flames in her legs and find a\nspeed rating close to that 118 career high. \nThey will be heading out at post time to represent the Only Stayers\nresidency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This four year old Chestnut Filly is sired by Curlin.  She will be going off as one of the longest\nchoices in this field according to the morning line.  I can see some concerns in that this filly merely\nhas a lack of experience.  She has been\ndoing well in Allowance races but has never run in a Listed Stakes or at the\nGraded Stakes level.  She is going to be\ntaking a big jump in Class here with a career high 108 speed rating of which\nalso draws concern.  Her last trip to the\ntrack came in Arizona on 08\/08\/2020 at a distance of 9.5 furlongs in a $34,100\nNW3x Allowance race.  She went gate to\nwire in that race and got up by 2 \u00be lengths. \nThis is a fine filly but the lingering question is, is she ready for\nSaturday\u2019s race?  She will get the\nservices of first time jockey, A Kelly who will come in from New Jersey to take\nthe ride up top for this race.  He will\nneed to find a snappy whip and push this filly hard if she is to prove a\ncontender when they break from the gate representing the Blazing Saddles\nresidency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The last two outing for this five year old Bay Mare have been a little disappointing for her owner.  She has just been missing her mark and her last two trips to the track were certainly lack luster.  She had been running well up until she took out on 07\/11\/2020 in Washington in the Moose Baby Dirt Mare Route.  She failed to perform with a 100 speed rating and walked up to the wire in ninth place.  She came back out for her most recent race in Idaho on 08\/23\/2020 going 9.5 furlongs in the Part Exchange Dirt Mare Route. She again failed to perform against the field of contenders she faced and came in sixth.  She is going to have to show up with a much better performance here in New York if she is to keep up with these bullies.  She will have jockey, K Ledwith that is flying in all the way from Japan to ride up top with this horse.  He will need to bring a full bag of tricks and a stiff whip on his travels as he needs to get a lot more out of this horse than she has shown in her last two outings.  They will be headed out in the post parade representing the Queensland Racecourse residency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This will be the matriarch of the field as she is a six year old Brown Mare sired by Pioneerof The Nile.  She has struggled in her career but is coming off an Allowance win in West Virginia of which she closed very nicely in a $34,100 NW3x.  She was claimed back in October of last year and under new ownership has done quite well.  However I kind of feel like the odds makers in that perhaps this trip to the track will be a little out of her league.  The owner took a walk over to the jocks room here in New York and found local jockey, Z Ayya available to take the mount on Saturday with this mare.  They will be headed out to the far outside post as the long shot in the morning line representing the Bargain Bred Racing Series residency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Good luck to all owners and horses!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
