They don&#8217;t believe in letting their men go out and win  the bread. No sir, they far prefer to make their own careers and put their  own stamps on the racing world. The winner&#8217;s share of the $225k purse will  go a long way toward ensuring the victor in today&#8217;s grade 2 event either finds  her place or stays on the sim-wide stage of prestige. It will take a big effort  to eclipse the <strong>Mrs Cleaver Stakes <\/strong>record of 1:41.2 set in  2004 by Barb&#8217;s demi, but this field of capable of doing it.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><em>Reevejohn&#8217;s<\/em> <strong>One Point Three<\/strong> just won a pair of races  at today&#8217;s distance of 8.5f, but she&#8217;s trying graded company for the first  time. Sim veterans will recognize her hmo-mom&#8217;s name: Carson And Dane was a  top dirt horse back in the day. The Point Given daughter hasn&#8217;t lived up to  her parent&#8217;s name yet, but One Point Three is just rounding into form as a  4yo and looks like a pretty good shot here. She&#8217;s at 11-1 odds but I suspect  we&#8217;ll see a better effort from her than that. Prefers to close, can do so from  well back or midpack.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Foolish Chant<\/strong>, a 5yo War Chant mare, is very lightly raced  given her age with just 16 starts. She&#8217;s moving into graded company for trainer <em>Tenderfoot<\/em>  after  establishing a solid base in the listed ranks. A couple listed stakes wins  and a pair of places sets her up very well for the move-up. What I like are  her strong efforts at 8.5f , a perfect series of preps for this effort. The  big drawback is her seven-week break between races; is she raring to go or  a bit stale? Watch for her to stalk the lead. 8-1. <\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Red Royal<\/strong> runs for <em>Romeshome<\/em> with odds of 11-1.  The  5yo Royal Academy mare was second in this race last year. She&#8217;s a good mare,  a G3 winner and placed several times. I have to wonder however if retirement  is nearing. The 18+ length loss in a GR Simsters event last out is rather disheartening,  but then again it was a 10f race and she clearly prefers the 8-9 range. Still,  classy mare could pull off a big win. She&#8217;ll run from the back half of the  field if she runs at all.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><em>Sdmf6<\/em> just might find himself owner of yet another millionaire if <strong>Stricken<\/strong>  cooperates.  She&#8217;s about $60k short of the seven-figure mark, and looks to be in fine form  to at least earn a piece of the purse. The 5yo Dynaformer mare just picked  up a G1 win at 9f three back, and has been posting some real nice high SPs  this year. Love to see the older mares run well like this one has. She likes  to run from fourth or so, and has some real nice speed, but has a serious tendency  to run second in the big stuff. If she can overcome that, she has a great shot.  6-1. <\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>From the last crop of Jumron kids we get <strong>Jumron&#8217;s Memory<\/strong>,  a 5yo mare trained by <em>Bigblueone<\/em>. She&#8217;s a stakes winner, and multiple  graded placed, but has yet to find her spot on the big stage. Have to love  her recent three-straight 105+ SPs, and two back she won at 8.5. This is a  great spot for the mare to get her graded win. She prefers to run near the  front through the first half but should be in the lead moving into the turn  if she is to pull it off. 5-1.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><em>Caliracing&#8217;s<\/em> <strong>Native Mambo<\/strong>  is the baby of the field  at just 3 years of age. The El Prado filly isn&#8217;t getting much love at the betting  window with odds of 10-1, but my oh my can she run fast when the whim strikes.  A 111 three back at Smackdown is proof positive. She&#8217;s never won at longer  than a mile, but then she&#8217;s only had one race longer than a mile. A confirmed  frontrunner, if Mambo gets loose on the lead she just might be able to steal  the race from the big girls. <\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Clifden Castle<\/strong> runs for Mav1763 as the 9-2 field co-favorite.  The 5yo Sadler&#8217;s Wells mare just won an 8.5 listed stake with a superb 112SP  and really comes in looking perfect for this race. Surprisingly Castle has  won only one graded event (a G2 at 8.5f in April), but she is placed multiple  times. She&#8217;ll be coming from way way back, so keep an eye out for the chestnut  blur streaking down the stretch.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><em>Bizalls1<\/em> enters the 6-1 <strong>Tete In A Zashaan<\/strong>. The 5yo  Zabeel mare was second in a 9f G3 two back and is a stakes winner at 8.5. She&#8217;s  done well for a former claimer; the owner spent his $75k wisely in buying Zashaan.  She prefers to be up front but can do some damage from a bit farther back.  If held back to follow the lead she might have something left in the tank    to notch her graded win. I do have to wonder if she would find more successin the 9-10f range. <\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tupungato<\/strong> starts at 9-1 for trainer <em>Hipica<\/em>. The  4yo Rahy filly just edged out Tete In A Zashaan last out in a 9fG2. She has  yet to win a stakes at 8.5, but she&#8217;s fast and cannot be counted out at this  shorter distance. Capable of popping 110+, 9-2 odds may not be short enough  to indicate just how good she can be. She loves to run up front but can and  has won from second position. Must be considered very dangerous. <\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The final entrant is the 9-1 <strong>Bad Kicks<\/strong>. <em>Verona&#8217;s<\/em> 4yo  Encosta De Lago filly is a G1 winner at 10, but has yet to try 8.5f. It&#8217;ll  be interesting to see if she can back up in distance with success. She&#8217;s a  midpack runner, which will serve her well against some speedy fillies and mares  who want to be out front. I like her here as a longshot.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Overall this is a good field of very nice mares. <strong>Tupungato<\/strong> gets  my support, but <strong>Native Mambo<\/strong> looks like she&#8217;s sitting in a  big race and <strong>Jumron&#8217;s Memor<\/strong>y has to be ready to break through. <\/p>\n<p><\/body><\/html><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ten mares want the title of Mrs Cleaver<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":21,"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":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6891","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-previews"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6891","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\/21"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=6891"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6891\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=6891"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=6891"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=6891"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
