Welcome to Paris and the Longchamp Racecourse for the 9th<\/SUP> running of the Little Ones Juvenile Filly.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>This is a grade 2, 5 \u00bd furlong race on the turf.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>The weatherman assures us of beautiful weather, so the track should be firm for the race.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Today we have 9 fillies vying for the chance to add a graded victory to their resume and take home their share of the $250,000 purse.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>The stakes record is held by 2003 winner Bale of Skunkfeed.\u00a0 <\/SPAN><\/B>She is one of the few late runners to win this race and she burned up the stretch posting a speed of 85.\u00a0 <\/SPAN><\/SPAN><\/SPAN>This time of year the two years olds have only raced once or twice and it is hard to know how they will react to the jump in class and what exactly their running style is.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Let\u2019s take a look at the field and see if we can make sense of what might happen in the race.\u00a0 <\/SPAN><\/SPAN><\/P>

<\/SPAN><\/SPAN>\u00a0<\/P>

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

PP 1\u00a0 <\/SPAN>\u00a0<\/SPAN>ANOTHER INJURY (AUS)\u00a0\u00a0 <\/SPAN><\/B>(ROYAL ACADEMY x SMART STRIKE x END SWEEP) bred and trained by pmjstable <\/B>(Baggio Stables, 8<\/SPAN>%)\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Odds: 9 to 1<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

Another Injury is a chestnut filly out of game dam Aninjurytoall.\u00a0 <\/SPAN><\/B>Although she was never able to make the jump in class to win stakes she was quite a bps earner, winning over 26% of her 93 career starts.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She has two other offspring, each with only one win, neither has been able to break the 80 mark in speed.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Maybe Another Injury will break that trend.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Another Injury is the top progeny for Royal Academy so far this year.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She broke her maiden second time out and would have probably liked an off track since her win came over the yielding turf.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She has one of the lowest career high speed factors in the field, but with two year olds you never know what they are going to do next.\u00a0 <\/SPAN><\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

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

PP 2 \u00a0\u00a0<\/SPAN>READY TO ROLL (KY)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/SPAN><\/B>(EL PRADO (IRE) x FORTY NINER x SEATTLE SLEW) bred and trained by vampire3 <\/B>(The Dog Pound, 16<\/SPAN>%)\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Odds:\u00a0 <\/SPAN>3 to 1<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

Barn Dog has entered this dark grey daughter of El Prado today.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>El Prado is one of the top sires in the sim, ranked 11th<\/SUP> based on earnings.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>In the past he has produced turf routers and 13 graded winners since 2004.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Ready to Roll is out of game dam Nonstop Flight <\/B>who had 12 wins including 7 stakes victories.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She mostly ran sprints so breeding her to El Prado, son of Sadler\u2019s Wells should add some stamina.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Ready to Roll won her first two times out, both wire to wire.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>After a strong start out of the gates in her last race no one was able to get any closer than 11\/4 lengths.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>I am not sure she will be able to be caught in this race either, especially with most in the field being late runners.\u00a0 <\/SPAN><\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

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

PP 3\u00a0\u00a0 <\/SPAN>BAGPIPE (KY)\u00a0\u00a0 <\/SPAN><\/B>(COZZENE x STORM CAT x REX IMPERATOR) bred and trained by horseface <\/B>(Madhibby Racing, 10%)\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Odds: 6 to 1<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

Bagpipe is a daughter of Cozzene, based on hemare Harv\u2019s Dream<\/B>.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Harv\u2019s Dream is historical grade H and despite finishing itm 4 times he was never able to win.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Cozzene is ranked 90 for sim sires and has 8 other horses in the sim with Storm Cat as the DS, one graded winner and one stakes winner.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Bagpipe broke her maiden first time out with a wire to wire victory and then finished second in her stakes debut, just \u00be lengths behind.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She had a great jump in speed in her stakes try, 12 points, to post a 75 sp, the highest in the field.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Bagpipe and Ready To Roll<\/B> are the only two horses in the field that have shown a liking for taking the early lead and trying to win wire to wire.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Since they are starting out next to each other I expect it to be on from the start as they fight for the early lead.\u00a0 <\/SPAN><\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

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

PP 4\u00a0\u00a0 <\/SPAN>BLUSHING SPIRIT\u00a0\u00a0 <\/SPAN><\/B>(INVINCIBLE SPIRIT x BLUSHING GROOM (FR) x SADLER\u2019S WELLS) bred and trained by beabono <\/B>(Red Dirt Runners, 10%)\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Odds:\u00a0 <\/SPAN>4 to 1<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

Blushing Spirit is the second filly in the field to get her first win on an off track (in this filly\u2019s case it was her first race as well).\u00a0 <\/SPAN>We have yet to see how she will run on a firm track which is what we have today. \u00a0<\/SPAN>\u00a0<\/SPAN>Blushing Spirit is a daughter of Invincible Spirit, who only had a few offspring in his first few years as a sim sire, but had been gaining in popularity.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>In 2007 he produced his first graded winner, Snarky Remark, <\/B>who also ran in the Bluegrass Derby.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Blushing Spirit is also one of the many who have come from well off the pace to victory.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>At this age you never know what to expect, but if their first few races are indication there is going to be a lot of fillies running well off the pace and making a move around third call.\u00a0 <\/SPAN><\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

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

PP 5\u00a0\u00a0 <\/SPAN>WAKE UP SUN (JPN)\u00a0\u00a0 <\/SPAN><\/B>(CHARISMATIC x AFLEET x SIBERIAN EXPRESS) bred <\/B>and trained by rlogans <\/B>(ONEWORLD Stables \u2013 Established week 634, 12%)\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Odds: 11 to 1<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

Longtime sim trainer from ONEWORLD Stables has entered Wake Up Sun.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She debuted in an allowance race where she held steady in third place the whole race, unable to get ahead of the early speed the first and second place finishers had.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Then she tried a jump in class in The ILLINI HANK (GB) Challenge<\/B> where she won.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She is the only stakes winner in the field today.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She is out of game dam Nurse Tabasco<\/B>, historical grade E, whose other offspring have been uninspiring.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Her sire, Charismatic, hasn\u2019t been as popular in the last few years and has only produced one graded winner since 2005.\u00a0\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Wake Up Sun will have top jockey B Wu who won this race last year.\u00a0 <\/SPAN><\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

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

PP 6\u00a0\u00a0 <\/SPAN>JIN GIN (MD)\u00a0\u00a0 <\/SPAN><\/B>(GO FOR GIN x ALLIED FORCES x AGO) bred and trained by lincoln <\/B>(Lincoln Stables, 6%)\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Odds:\u00a0 <\/SPAN>30 to 1<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

Jin Gin is out of game dam Catastrophe II <\/B>(historical grade H) and a daughter of Go For Gin.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>If Jin Gin wins here it will be the first graded win for Go For Gin as a sim sire.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Go For Gin has typically produced dirt sprinters, but it looks like Jin Gin prefers the green stuff.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>After a try on the dirt she broke her maiden on the turf and finished just out of the money in her first allowance try.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Unfortunately instead of seeing her speed go up from her win on the turf to her first alloance try it dropped by 10 points.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She has jockey J Cuervo who has won this race twice before.\u00a0 <\/SPAN><\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

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

PP 7\u00a0 <\/SPAN>\u00a0<\/SPAN>FAIRY TALE PRAYER (AUS)\u00a0\u00a0 <\/SPAN><\/B>(ELVSTROEM (AUS) x HANSEL x POLISH NUMBERS) bred and <\/B>trained by mnbpstable <\/B>(PazJazz Music City Stables, 12%)\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Odds:\u00a0 <\/SPAN>7 to 1<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

Fairy Tale Prayer is a scratch bred brown daughter of Elvstroem.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>In only his third year as a sire Elvstroem has produced 4 graded winners and he has predominately produces turf runners.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Fairy Tale is one of PazJazz\u2019s \u201cprayer horses\u201d.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>I counted 74 horses with prayer in the name the first time and 73 the second time, so let\u2019s just say he has over 70 prayer horses.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>The most successful is Gracepointe Prayer, who is a multiple G1 winner, millionaire and is ranked third in dirt classic routes.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Fairy Tale Prayer broke her maiden with impressive speed (71 SP) and passed most of the field coming up the stretch to finish 2 lengths ahead.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Today is her second career start and trainer PazJazz is praying for another fairy tale ending for her today.\u00a0\u00a0 <\/SPAN><\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

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

PP 8\u00a0\u00a0 <\/SPAN>SHE MIGHT BE GIANT (KY)\u00a0\u00a0 <\/SPAN><\/B>(GIANT\u2019S CAUSEWAY x SEEKING THE GOLD x DANEHILL) bred and trained by gradeone <\/B>(More Evil Than The Evil Empire, 16%)\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Odds:\u00a0 <\/SPAN>4 to 1<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

Super has entered She Might Be Giant, the first offspring of game dam Bit of a Ruse.\u00a0 <\/SPAN><\/B>She had a successful career on turf, including a G1 victory, brought home well over $500,000 and was retired earlier this year after her first triple digit speed figure, surprisingly on the dirt.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Of the 33 horses Giant\u2019s Causeway has sired in the sin for 2008, two are already stakes placed and he has a graded winner from his 2007 crop, also with Seeking the Gold as DS.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She Might Be Giant has been the favorite in both her career starts, both she won.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Both times she was towards the middle of the pack until second call where she moved to the front and no one could catch her.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Today she isn\u2019t the favorite, but I think she will be in the mix, pushing for the lead down the stretch.\u00a0 <\/SPAN><\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

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

PP 9 \u00a0<\/SPAN>\u00a0<\/SPAN>CHAPARRO (IRE) \u00a0<\/SPAN>\u00a0<\/SPAN><\/B>(HIGH CHAPARRAL (IRE) x WOODMAN x DIXIELAND BAND) bred and trained by lawman4 <\/B>(Windward Farms, 8%)\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Odds: \u00a0<\/SPAN>6 to 1<\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

Out of PP 9 is Chaparro.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She is a scratch bred daughter of High Chaparral, who has produced a slew of successful turf routers in the SIM.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>High Chaparral\u2019s 2008 crop has 2 stakes placed horses and in 2007 he produced 2 graded winners and stakes winners almost 10% of the time.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Chaparro won her first and only race with a sizzling 71 as she burst up the stretch from 7th<\/SUP> to finish 1 \u00bd lengths ahead.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>There are a lot of other horses today that are probably going to stay back, so she is going to have some competition while trying to overtake the early leaders.\u00a0 <\/SPAN><\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>

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

I think every one of these fillies has a chance today.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>I am going to agree with the morning line and say that Ready To Roll<\/B> is going to win this wire to wire.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>I think Bagpipe<\/B> will fight her for the lead, but I don\u2019t think she will be able to take it.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>I think Fairy Tale Prayer<\/B> and She Might Be Giant <\/B>are going to make late moves and might come close, but I don\u2019t think they will get ahead of Ready to Roll.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Good luck and happy racing to all.\u00a0 <\/SPAN><\/SPAN>J<\/SPAN><\/SPAN>\u00a0 <\/SPAN><\/o:p><\/SPAN><\/P>
