<\/SPAN>Seeking The Statue is a daughter of Statue Of Liberty out of a Seeking The Gold mare.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>This is her first stake and graded attempt.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She is winless when racing on the turf, but she does have a second on the lawn when she raced ten furlongs two starts ago.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>In that race she earned an 86 speed rating for her effort.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Her last start was a twelve furlong effort on the dirt in <st1:place

all open allowances.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Best speed rating in her last eight races is a 93 that she had when winning the ten furlong race.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Has Kris as her dam\u2019s dam sire so the distance may not be an issue.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Use her underneath in tour exotic wager.\u201d<\/P><P

second with an 88 speed rating.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She tried to get the early lead and couldn\u2019t.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>When she does gain the early lead she can be dangerous.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>For example in her last race she took the early lead in a 13 furlong race.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She extended her early lead to over seven lengths and eased home a winner with a 94 speed rating.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN><I style=\"mso-bidi-font-style:

style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>This closer should enjoy the distance and should be primed to run a big race.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>I do not believe she can out

yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>I think this drop dead closer needs to be a bit closer to the early lead to turn the tables on La Pata Daisy.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She\u2019s just too far back when she makes her big move.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>It\u2019s like she\u2019s the feminine version of <B style=\"mso-bidi-font-weight: normal\">Dollar Bill<\/B>.<SPAN

dollars.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>In her thirteen starts, she has never finished worse then third.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>In her last five races she has won four grade ones and a grade two.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She raced this distance in the Dahlia Cup and was brilliant.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Her jockey in that race had not won a race all year.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He was 0 for 58 and had only hit the board seven times.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0
