—————————<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\nNo. 3 MISCHIEF TAP LADY 8\/1<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nTrainer: stockswami Jockey: N Lawton<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nComes into Saturday\u2019s race as the only filly in the field. This will be her 1st<\/sup> test against the boys, and her trainer couldn\u2019t have selected a tougher task for her. However, her win 2 starts back in the Canadian Group 2 Horsehead Fillies over 6.5 furlongs was an impressive prelude that earned her a place in the field. Coming back in distance after her last start attempt at two turns didn\u2019t go as hoped for her trainer \u201cstockswami\u201d <\/em>she becomes the 4th<\/sup> entrant for this stable, sneaking into the field in 14th<\/sup> place.<\/p>\n\n\n\nShe will have support I am sure especially from the ladies on course but personally I think she will find the boys just too strong on the day<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n—————————<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nNo. 4 FLIGHTLINE STORM 9\/1<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nTrainer: stockswami Jockey: D Givins<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nThe 2nd<\/sup> of \u201cstockswami\u2019s\u201d<\/em> 4 runners comes into this race on the back of two less than impressive runs. He can possibly be forgiven for his last run where he was tested around 2 turns for the 1st<\/sup> time in a Group 1 finishing 9th<\/sup>. However, his run 3 starts back was an impressive Group 2 victory over the Breeders\u2019 Bowl distance of 6 furlongs.<\/p>\n\n\n\nNot the roughest in the field but also not the best, seems to fall into the middle of the pack range, and that is most likely where he will finish!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n—————————<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nNo. 5 THE SOULFIRE 6\/1<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nTrainer: lenny271 Jockey: L Radzinski<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nWith nearly 600 2 year olds in training and probably as many tried and discarded over the year, Lenny is not known for his patience with his youngsters. He definitely uses the scatter gun approach to training. However, no-one can deny that year after year he comes up with some champions and they are not always to those super sires. This horse is from one of this writer\u2019s fave dirt sprinters in Speightstown, and it was no surprise that his last start was a failure over 8 furlongs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Back now to the more favorable 6 furlongs The Soulfire will be firing on all cylinders on Saturday. BIG THREAT!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n—————————<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nNo. 6 INDIANBERG 21\/1<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nTrainer: tenpoint Jockey: Z Kentucky<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nThis horse is proof that it doesn\u2019t take a \u201cblueblood\u201d sire or back end to reach the pinnacle of the racing year. From a \u201cC\u201d class sire Trinniberg and the 11th<\/sup> foal from his mother, Indianberg is the first of her progeny to do better than a Listed placing. With a Listed win plus a 2nd<\/sup> and 3rd<\/sup> from his only two Graded runs he has definitely earned his place in this field<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe longest priced runner in the field but certainly not the weakest to go to the gate. I would be very surprised in fact if he doesn\u2019t finish in the top half of the field<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n—————————<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nNo. 7 MINISTER\u2019S PHAROAH 7\/1<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nTrainer: stockswami Jockey: K Ledwith<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nThe 3rd<\/sup> of the \u201cstockswami\u201d <\/em>runners, who seems to have snuck into the field on the back of only his 2nd win, when he won the Group 2 The Future Stakes at his last start in the fastest SP of any of our entrants. His form prior to that run was at best barely average.<\/p>\n\n\n\nOn his last run there is no doubt that this son of American Pharoah must not be taken lightly and considered as a Huge Chance!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n—————————<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nNo. 8 BK LOST SNITZEL<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nTrainer: drunkenjockclub Jockey: D Prentice<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nRacing out of the alcoholic stables of Beerkeg Racing, this horse sounds more like a pub meal of Snitzel Fries and Beers. Then you look at his last race the Group 1 Sparkling Wine Stakes, and you can see why neither the horse trainer or jockey could navigate around two turns finishing 12th<\/sup> of 14. Prior to that run though this horse was showing great promise on grass tracks before being switched to the dirt to garner a Listed Stakes win and a 2nd<\/sup> place in a Group 1 over 7 furlongs and earn his place in this field.<\/p>\n\n\n\nUnlikely to trouble the judge, well that\u2019s my sober opinion, but never underestimate the power of an alcoholic horse promised a keg of beer if it wins!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n—————————<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nNo. 9 MEMORY WIPED 10\/1<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nTrainer: liam Jockey: S Tate<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nStarted his career with a hat-trick of wins Maiden Allowance and Stakes, pressed on to try for the heights of a Graded victory without the ultimate success but has managed a pay check in his 3 attempts (3rd<\/sup> 2nd<\/sup> and 4th<\/sup>). Only beaten 2 lengths into 4th<\/sup> place in the Group 2 Futurity he became one of only 5 runners to have broken the 90 SP barrier.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWith a very astute trainer in \u201cliam\u201d <\/em>guiding his fortunes, he has to be one of the main chances at the very nice odds of 10\/1<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n—————————<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nNo. 10 HISTORY OF ROGUES 20\/1<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nTrainer: dontbetonme Jockey: T Small<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nHis trainer has brought him along nicely after picking him up for a mere $5000 claim way back in February, when he snapped him up from ol\u2019 scattergun himself \u201clenny271\u201d, picking up a cool SIM$250k along the way. With a Group 2 win just 2 starts back he did struggle at his last start at Group 1 level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At SIM$5000 and 10 BP\u2019s this has to be the cheapest of our entrants to make the final, but is highly doubtful he will trouble the judge at the end of the 6 furlongs!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n—————————<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nNo. 11 TALES OF FRAUD 9\/1<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nTrainer: checkmate1 Jockey: R Cerda<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nThis horse comes into the race as the winningest of our starters with 5 wins from only 6 starts. With his only miss being a 3rd<\/sup> place finish 2 starts back in the Group 1 Dell Computer Futurity. This was following his Group 3 win in the preceding race. Given a freshen up 4 weeks ago in a 5.5 furlong Listed Stakes over the northern border in Ontario, he comes into Saturday\u2019s race off a short break.<\/p>\n\n\n\nIf can handle 2 runs in 4 weeks must be a chance, however that is a big if as most of his rivals are fresher and have as good or better form<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n—————————<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nNo. 12 PUT A MO ON IT 9\/1<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nTrainer: lenny271 Jockey: E Cerda<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nVery aptly named as we enter the month of \u201cMovember\u201d lenny has offered to donate 50% of his winners purse to a Men\u2019s Health Charity if his 2nd<\/sup> runner can win on Saturday. Another of our runners that had a less than auspicious run in a Group 1 race 2 starts back, who had a top up run only 4 weeks ago and was very impressive in winning a 5.5 furlong Listed Stakes in an impressive 91+ SP.<\/p>\n\n\n\nOn his last run he has to be given a decent shot at hitting the board, as long as the short break doesn\u2019t take too much from his performance<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n—————————<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nNo. 13 NOT 10\/1<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nTrainer: gowans Jockey: F Gossett<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nWe do not see many major race meetings where trainer \u201cgowans\u201d <\/em>isn\u2019t represented, and this is no exception. The incredible minimalist named NOT is definitely the opposite when you look at his form lines. With only 5 lifetime race starts he has greeted the judge 1st<\/sup> in four of them, including the last 3, 2 Group 3\u2019s and last start the Group 1 Dell Computer Futurity.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWinning form is good form, well rested for this and our only multiple Group winner he seems at way over the odds at 10\/1 Only downside is his wide barrier draw!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n—————————<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nNo. 14 CAT TAP HUMOR 10\/1<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nTrainer: stockswami Jockey: T Ace<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nThe last of this trainer\u2019s four runners and the least experienced in the field with only 4 lifetime starts. Seems to be showing an ability to close from way back and possibly will find this race too short. One to watch as we head to 2024 and the run to the Roses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Not likely to trouble this field unless can find an extra leg between now and race day!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\nThis race should make the perfect start to Day 2 of the Breeders’ Bowl, with possibly 9 or 10 of the 14 runners having chances to greet the judge, <\/p>\n\n\n\n
