All Equal In First Start On The Grass<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/B><\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

Mississippi<\/SPAN><\/B><\/st1:place><\/st1:State> –\u00a0 <\/SPAN>A small field of five 2 YO fillies will all try the turf for the first time in the $45,000, six furlong, Purple Wing Bonanza.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Heavy rains late Thursday morning left the course in what will surely be classified as yielding by Saturday.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Purple Wing is an 6 YO mare by In The Wings who won six of 46 starts and is stakes placed.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She has one foal to race – a maiden.<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

Clouds promising rain and a freshening wind greeted me as I made my way trackside early Thursday morning.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>I wanted to catch the entrants in their last workouts before Saturday’s race.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>First on the track was the petite dark bay filly, Ermington Celeb<\/B> (9\/5).\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She came by with the pony and looked a bit bewildered, mothering up to the pony as she went around the track.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She will be making he first start and is being thrown to the wolves by owner\/trainer Pigeon5<\/I> who likes to find out early whether they will sink or swim.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Looking for only his 5th win of the year, Ernie Witter will take the reins of this daughter of Pientre Celebre.<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

Bonefort Cavalery<\/SPAN><\/B> (9\/5) is a light chestnut filly by Forty Niner and is conditioned by Ksparrow<\/I>.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She came by me in a two minute lick pulling strongly.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She won her debut on the main track and followed that up with a closing second last time out in a conditioned allowance at six furlongs.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She was certainly hitting the ground well and looked deserving of her favored status.<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

Agate<\/SPAN><\/B><\/st1:PlaceName> <\/SPAN><\/B>Lake<\/SPAN><\/B><\/st1:PlaceType><\/st1:place> (3\/1) came by in a slow gallop under a tight hold.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>By Exploit, this pretty bay filly has a first and a second over the main track. \u00a0<\/SPAN>She followed up her maiden win with a big\u00a0 <\/SPAN>run late in the Doctor Jo Ann last time out and has been trained throughout her career by Ads2.<\/I><\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

Not For Kirby<\/SPAN><\/B> (7\/2) is by Not For Love and is trained by 4play<\/I>.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She is a dark bay or brown, big-eared filly who has three wins notched on her belt.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She has two allowance wins and was a closing second last time out in The Repulsively Pop at longer.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She has experience on her side and looked fit and ready as she blew down the lane in a short lung-opener.<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

Queer<\/SPAN><\/I> sends out the undefeated bay filly Sally Hemings<\/B> (10\/1), the longshot on the morning line.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>By Colonial Affair, she came by in a slow gallop, her white feet flashing over the track.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Her connections hope that she will handles an off turf course as well as she handled an off dirt track in <\/SPAN>Mexico<\/SPAN><\/st1:place><\/st1:country-region>.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>With her breeding she should be a monster when the distances lengthen out.\u00a0 <\/SPAN><\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>
