Ontario\u2019s circuit has a Super Saturday of sorts happening this weekend, when they play host to a pair of graded stakes races designed to gear various contenders up for next month\u2019s Breeders Bowl card.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>The sophomore distaffers gear up for the Grade Among the gathered field of fourteen are:<\/P> \u00a0<\/P> Phew.\u00a0 <\/SPAN><\/P> There\u2019s something for every taste in this bunch, and away we go\u2026<\/P> Jolie\u2019s Song<\/B> holds the role of favorite for the catspaw<\/I><\/B> stables, and that\u2019s a lukewarm honor given the evenly matched field; she\u2019s only 9\/2.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>This daughter of Buddha has based her four-year-old campaign on doing battle with the males, and she\u2019s faced her own gender just once this year, where she finished second.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>While the rest of the distaffers heaved a big sigh of relief, she\u2019s had some modest success versus the boys, with a Grade II win in Japan, three second-place finishes (all in Grade I\u2019s), and two third-place results this season.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She\u2019ll be coming like a freight train late, her figures have remained constantly in the mid-100s and higher, and she returns to Xtremely A Fan<\/B> is the third-ranked miler in the turf handicap division, and this late-developing son of A.P. Indy has left his mark on the lawn this year.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Trained by the ejdstables<\/I><\/B>, the four-year-old has a pair of Grade Digging The Grave<\/B> is lightly raced, with thirteen starts, and highly successful, with nine wins in his career.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Trained by zewango2<\/I><\/B>, this four-year-old son of Silver Ghost is on one helluva tear, with a seven-race winning streak coming into this million-dollar race, which includes three graded stakes wins, all at sprint distances.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>The numbers have constantly broke the century mark since the streak began, and he, too, has been splitting time between the two divisions, returning from his wire job in Victoria for this.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He\u2019s likely the one to dictate the pace, but what might be a bit troublesome is the distance: he has won at a mile and a mile-and-a-sixteenth, but has been most effective going shorter, and with some fierce closing kicks in the field, wiring this bunch will be incredibly difficult.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>How much success he will have in this Grade I will depend on how much company he\u2019ll face up front early on.<\/P> Niner Connection<\/B> is the top three-year-old miler on grass, and as a son of Forty Niner who\u2019s never been off the board in his career, he\u2019s aiming for a Breeders Bowl Mile berth here by facing older horses for the first time, at his best distance.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He\u2019s trained by n2racing2<\/I><\/B>, and has been battle-tested this year, with a pair of Grade I wins on both sides of the Kiki\u2019s Solid Rock<\/B>, trained by gdfarm<\/I><\/B>, is a four-year-old son of Forty Niner with some early speed in his genes, and he\u2019s had an up-and-down campaign in 2005.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>His two turf starts this year resulted in a pair of Grade II wins, two dazzling efforts, but his one dirt start in between these should be thrown out completely, as both the 14-furlong distance and the dirt conspired to get him eased.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He\u2019s proven himself effective when sprinting, but this is a heady place to try going longer than seven furlongs on grass for the first time.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Turf sprints are where it\u2019s at for him, and while he should press a swift early pace, it\u2019s rather unclear how he\u2019ll be able to fare here. \u00a0<\/SPAN>His figures on grass, though, sit snugly among these, and he\u2019s only had three starts this year, so he should still be plenty rested for his best.<\/P> Satrustegui<\/B> is a tongue-twister with a love of Gingobell<\/B> is the other three-year-old debuting against older horses in this field.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>This notturna1<\/I><\/B> trainee got some career rejuvenation when he switched to the turf this spring; while on dirt his speed figures broke 100 a couple of times, his turf figs have been constantly over the century mark, with a pair of stakes wins.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He\u2019s making his graded grass debut, though, in a pretty tough spot, against some truly mesmorizing speed numbers compared to his, and while his age is an advantage, he prefers to sit just off the lead, which, with a field with some vicious late speed, isn\u2019t necessarily an asset.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Nevertheless, the mile distance seems to suit him well, and depending on how well he rates among these, he might hang around for a while.<\/P> Radke\u2019s Revenge<\/B> is a six-year-old son of Seeking The Gold with a lot of grass experience over his lengthy career, winning ten times.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He\u2019s Grade II-placed, this joshua<\/I><\/B> trainee, but has seemingly always come up a little short whenever he\u2019s faced stakes-level horses.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He only one second-place finish and three third-place finishes in thirteen stakes efforts, and his best speed figures came about a year and a half ago.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>The mile\u2019s a good distance for him, and his late run fits well among these, but there are a few here who look to be more on their game this weekend. <\/P> Jungleland<\/B> is wheeled back on two weeks of rest following his third in the Fivestarnick a couple weeks back.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Trained by estreet<\/I><\/B>, this son of Lyric Poet<\/B> is a five-year-old son of Dixieland Band for the opinora<\/I><\/B> stables, and he\u2019s a veteran of the grass wars, having all ten wins come on the lawn.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>This year, he went all out to capture the Grade Seespotrun<\/B> is the other member of the field wheeled back from the Fivestarnick on just two weeks of rest.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>This son of Rahy for the chaseadar<\/I><\/B> stable was one of the early pacesetters stalked by Jungleland<\/B> in Pop Culture<\/B> is one of the other fillies taking on older males in this Grade I, and this five-year-old daughter of Rahy for lenny11<\/I><\/B> does have a win and a pair of seconds when she battles the boys.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Those efforts, though, have been in allowance company.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Her numbers are on the low end of being competitive versus these big guns, and she\u2019s making her graded debut in a million-dollar race.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Her win in her restricted Smackdown race was very nice, and she likes to come from off the pace, but that\u2019s a similar style to so many horses in here, and she would possibly prefer some extra ground, as well.<\/P> Sword Of Miswaki<\/B>, for gdfarm<\/I><\/B>, is a son of Miswaki who has only four starts this year.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Last year\u2019s 2000 Triestar<\/B>, for goody5<\/I><\/B>, is a four-year-old daughter of Old Trieste whose numbers fall off from the favorites considerably, but she\u2019s giving the appearance of rounding into form.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>In winning the Grade My selections:<\/P> \u00a0<\/P> Good luck, and happy racing!<\/P><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Or Could It Be Ladies Day For ‘Jolie’?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":123,"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-537","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-previews"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/537","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\/123"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=537"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/537\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=537"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=537"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=537"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
