This weekend we will be looking at a race on the card in Victoria, the G1, The Empire Rose.  This race will be restricted to 3 year old and older, fillies and mares only.  Unfortunately for some that 25 percent chance of precipitation will be unavoidable as these horses take to the track that will be listed as \u201cgood turf\u201d at post time.  This group of fillies will travel 8 furlongs across this course on Sunday and we have an exciting field of eight horses that will be competing in this graded event.  The morning line odds have been released and the post positions have been drawn.  Let us now take a quick preview of the eight horses that will make the start this weekend in Victoria in the G1, The Empire Rose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, we will see this 4 year old Brown Filly who is a scratch bred (GALILEO (IRE) x DEPUTY MINISTER x GIANT’S CAUSEWAY) that in eight career starts has never finished worse than second.  She made her graded d\u00e9but in her most recent start in Ireland when she would go 8 furlongs in the G2, The Mother Stakes.  She would not disappoint in this start as she stayed close throughout this race and would fire down the stretch to capture the win by two strides and a 116 speed rating.  After that nice G2 win the owner feels she is ready to make her first G1 appearance at the track when they come out this weekend representing the All-Stars Racing residency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coming out next will be this 4 year old Bay Filly (BLUE POINT (IRE) x DANSILI (GB) x SEA THE STARS) that two starts back would get a second place finish in the G1, The Foul Mouth Stakes.  She would then return to the track in Ireland for her most recent start going 8 furlongs in the G2, The Mother Stakes.  She was making a big effort here but came in second as she crossed the wire with a 113 speed rating.  This horse has only been off the boards once this season and that was on a turf track listed as \u201cgood\u201d in Berkshire back in April.  She will need to show she can handle the wet turf this weekend when she makes her way out of the paddock representing the Empire State Racing residency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next, we will see this 5 year old Bay Mare (SEA THE STARS x GONE WEST x DYNAFORMER) that is out of the HOF mare, Thirteenth Date.  Like her mother she is no stranger to the graded circuit, but still in pursuit to find her first G1 win.  This multiple G2 winning mare has been running hot this season for the owner and has three wins and a third place finish.  Two starts back she got the win in the G2, The Smart Dancer.  She would then head out again in Ontario going 9 furlongs in the G2, The Molson Export.  She would once again light up the boards with her second G2 win in a row with a 118 speed rating.  She is dropping down to 8 furlongs for the start on Sunday, but I don\u2019t feel this should be a significant issue when she heads out at post time representing the Empire State Racing residency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a 5 year old Bay Mare (OASIS DREAM (GB) x KITTEN’S JOY x KINGMAMBO) that is a multiple G1 winner from such races last season in the G1, Breeders Bowl Game and the G1, Prix Marcel Boss.  She has not seen a graded win yet this season but did hit the boards in third two starts back in the G1, The Start Up.  In her most recent start, she would be seen in Ireland when she went 8 furlongs in the G2, The Mother Stakes.  She jumped out of the gate for the early lead and would hold that spot until her stretch run where she would fade back to cross the wire in sixth with a 110 speed rating.  This horse likes to run at or near the front in her races and dares the rest to catch her.  I expect much the same from her this Sunday when she heads out in the post parade representing the Empire State Racing residency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next, we have this 4 year old Bay Filly (BLUE POINT (IRE) x SEA THE STARS x A.P. INDY) that has been running well for the owner this season at the Allowance and Listed Stakes levels.  Two starts back she would be second in the Dead Solid Perfect Turf Mare Route.  She would then be sent out for her most recent start in Illinois where she would go 8.5 furlongs in a Listed Stakes, Queen Of Greens Turf Mare Route.  She would set the grass on fire in this one and would close nicely down the stretch to pick up the win with a 118 speed rating.  She is making a big jump in class this Sunday, but if she can bring that nice speed with her from her most recent start, she could be in there making a challenge when she heads over to her gate draw representing the Universal Racing Club residency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a 5 year old Bay Mare who is a scratch bred (SHAMARDAL x DANEHILL x EL PRADO) that three starts back would run a big speed rating of 118 in a Listed Stakes, Murf Closet Turf Mare Mile.  She would then jump up in class to run in the G1, The Start Up of which she would finish in sixth.  Her most recent start would them come in Ireland where she would go 8 furlongs in the G2, The Mother Stakes.  She could not find a trip to get her on the boards in this start in her second graded appearance in a row.  The owner is in hope that the third time will be a charm when he gives her the opportunity this Sunday to show she can compete against this graded field.  She needs to find a good trip and a little extra effort this Sunday when she heads over the turf representing the GR Simsters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next, we have this 4 year old Bay Filly (FLYING ARTIE (AUS) x NORTHERN DRAKE (AUS) x MR. PROSPECTOR) that has mainly been running in Local Claimer races and Starter Allowance races on both the turf and the dirt tracks.  Last time out she would race in Queensland going 8.5 furlongs in a $60,000 Local Claimer on a track listed as \u201cgood\u201d at post time.  She would get a first place finish in this race with a 109 speed rating.  She is making a big jump from the Claimers into a G1 start this Sunday and she looks like she may be in deep water when she makes her way out representing the East-West Connection residency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the far gate we have this 4 year old Bay Filly (KINGMAN x DARCI BRAHMA (NZ) x STORM CAT) that has made only four prior starts this season but has picked up three wins and a second place finish.  Her three most recent starts have all been at the graded level and she picked up the win in the G3, Nina Persson Vase and was second in the G1, The Start Up.  Then came her most recent start which was here in Victoria when she would go 8 furlongs in the G2, The Flight Mile.  She would linger just off the lead in the early going and by the time of the third call she would get to the front and lead the field to the wire as she picked up the win with a 114 speed rating.  She will make her fourth graded start in a row this weekend and the owner is in hope she can get the job done and get a G1 win to add to her trophy case when they head out of the paddock to the cheers of an excited crowd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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