Lilbitfarm\u2019s Hamster\u00a0<\/b>stamped herself as one of the leading turf females in the sim with a convincing two-length score in the Grade 1 Yellow Submarine Stakes at California.\u00a0 <\/span>This classy and consistent three-year old daughter of Rock of Gibraltar rated just off a killing pace before seizing the lead at the quarter pole and cruising home clear of a strong field that included several millionaires in 2:01, good for a more-than-solid 109 SR.\u00a0 <\/span>A winner of nine of her twelve career starts, including her last four, Hamster has never been out of the money and is only now revealing her true class and potential.\u00a0 <\/span>This writer touted her as a big overlay at 11\/1 in here, and she won\u2019t again be such a generous price for a long time to come.\u00a0 <\/span>Congratulations to lilbitfarm and good luck in the big one coming next month.<\/p>\n Willyam20\u2019s Sheza Maniac<\/b> returned to her best form to run a solid second in this Grade 1 fixture.\u00a0 <\/span>Back at a more preferred distance and with a strong pace to run at, jockey O. Brim had this mare rolling late.\u00a0 <\/span>Clearly second best, she equaled her lifetime top of 107 and should be fresh for at least a couple more big tests this fall.<\/p>\n Favorite Jena Berlin\u00a0<\/b>was not on her best form for this one but did herself no disgrace in crossing under the line third.\u00a0 <\/span>Astinator5\u2019s millionaire was coming into this one off two consecutive career tops and three consecutive wins but just three weeks rest, so a bounce was always a possibility.\u00a0 <\/span>She now heads into the Breeders Bowl in need of a quick return to her best.<\/p>\n Pygmalion\u2019s Publik Enemy<\/b> came up a length out of the money and just short of the purse share needed to go over the million-dollar mark in career earnings.\u00a0 <\/span>The six year-old\u2019s effort was a return to good form, equaling her career-best SR of 106, and she was another who benefited from the lively pace.<\/p>\n Kepler of Rainbow\u00a0<\/b>stalked the early pace and held on fairly well through the stretch to finish fifth, while Derockery<\/b> did her best running late to come sixth.\u00a0 <\/span>She likely needed this race and will move forward next time out.\u00a0 <\/span>Kneel Before Zod<\/b> passed tired ones late and likely needs a class drop to be more competitive.\u00a0 <\/span>Upgraded<\/b> did not have the speed to reach the front and was outrun.\u00a0 <\/span>Freezing<\/b> made the early pace but wound up ninth and is perhaps suited to shorter route distances.\u00a0<\/span>Completing the rest of the order was Sinndee Slew<\/b>, Horrifying Storm<\/b>, Desert Alley<\/b>, Lead Actress<\/b>, who also tired from chasing the pace, and Condemnation<\/b>, who ran a clunker without her usual rest.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Classy Females Get Grassy BB Prep<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":383,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_container_layout":"default_layout","colormag_page_sidebar_layout":"default_layout","footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6648","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-reviews"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6648","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/383"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=6648"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6648\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=6648"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=6648"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=6648"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
