Welcome to the 3rd<\/SUP> running of the Breeders Bowl Undercard Filly Long Route.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>California is the location for this year\u2019s Breeders Bowl and our race today is sandwiched between the G1 Breeders Bowl Dirt Mile and 13 other G1 Breeders Bowl events.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Today the ladies will race 12 furlongs to take home their share of the $250,000 purse, just a fraction of the $25,875,000.00 total prize money to be won today at the 2008 Breeders Bowl.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>While the race today may by the undercard, it has attracted many top trainers and\u00a0 <\/SPAN>\u00a0<\/SPAN>7 of the top 20 ranked fillies and mares in the dirt long route division, 4 in the top 10.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Let\u2019s take a look at what the top 10 fillies and mares in the division are doing today: Number one ranked Bon Bon<\/B> and number 2 ranked Full Measure<\/B> are not racing this week.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>They both have been racing a full two miles recently.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>The third ranked mare, CSI Super<\/B> is racing against the boys today in the Breeders Bowl Marathon as a long shot.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Ranked 4th<\/SUP> and 5th<\/SUP> are K\u2019s Araku<\/B> and K\u2019s Hasty \u2018N Nasty<\/B>, both trained at Pompeya Thoroughbred Racing Corporation, but trainer seinfeld3 decided to give stablemate Kuba<\/B> the start today (post position 5).\u00a0 <\/SPAN>A.P. Princess, The Trident, Go Ireland <\/B>and Criminally Insane<\/B> are ranked 6th<\/SUP>, 7th<\/SUP>, 8th<\/SUP>, and 10th<\/SUP>, respectively, and are all in the field today.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Number 9 is Disasterpiece<\/B>, who is racing in the Breeders Bowl Distaff as a co-favoritre along with number 11, Black Tuesday<\/B>.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>So, even though this is the undercard, many of the top fillies and mares that race this 12 furlong distance are in the race today and it should be a good one.\u00a0 <\/SPAN> Here is a look at the previous winners: Last year winner was The Trident<\/B> from Given Stables: Fire and Blood.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She enjoyed that victory so much she is back this year to try again.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>After running just off the pace for the first half the race, Trident passed Desperado\u2019s Mambo<\/B> (also in the field today), Hostility<\/B> and Big Brown<\/B> to take the lead.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Two deep closers, Frozen Four <\/B>(another making a repeat performance) and CSI Super<\/B> weren\u2019t able to catch her and finished second and third.\u00a0 <\/SPAN> 2006 found Otto Overrated<\/B> in the winner\u2019s circle.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Otto Overrated won as a 3 year old from post position 9.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>There was an early speed duel between Lifeshaft <\/B>and Estrogen<\/B> and Otto stayed well off the pace until the last turn where she shot ahead to win by over 3 lengths.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>And she was able to hold off two deep closers, Waki Bullet<\/B> and Dynamic<\/B>, who finished second and third.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She is trained by wilko stables and continues to compete, representing the GR Simsters.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Although Otto Overrated hasn\u2019t won stakes since the 2006 Breeders Bowl she has finished in the money 11 times in 17 tries and brought home over $330,000 for Pierchinski Stables.\u00a0 <\/SPAN> Here it the field for the 2008 Breeders Bowl Undercard Filly Long Route: PP 1 \u00a0<\/SPAN>\u00a0<\/SPAN>LESS THAN KIND (IRE) \u00a0<\/SPAN>\u00a0<\/SPAN><\/B>(SADLER\u2019S WELLS x A.P.
