The Rotten Well Stakes here today – what a name!\u00a0 Rot well or Rot not is what I say.\u00a0 Either do it or don’t.\u00a0 Am I making sense?\u00a0 Probably not but still its your perception that counts and at the moment my perception is the only one here while I’m writing this.\u00a0 Confused? Ok let’s leave that rambling thought then.\u00a0Still it is the Stakes race here at Queensland and we have a small field with some good class horses and some which are aiming to make it at this level. Six and 1\/2 furlongs is the distance they have to run and it is for 3yo and up for a total prize purse of $55,000.\u00a0 Plenty of cash for pizza and coke if you win it.\u00a0 <\/P>

1 A JUNGLE KING(KY)<\/STRONG> <\/P> Owner: junglelove Bred from Cryptoclearance x Kingmambo x Seeking The Gold this is one of many favourites here today who is coming off a big win in the Pecking With Roo Memorial Stakes over 6 furlongs with a speed of 105.\u00a0 Is in good form with his last three races all post 100 speeds and 2 wins and a third placing.\u00a0 Distance should be fine as he likes anything up to 7 furlongs really. Prefers to be up front early although his run in the Unbridled Swansong Stake over 6.5 furlongs was different in that he came from the rear of the field and powered home for a third place finish.\u00a0 Generally though likes to be up front early and could go well here. Owner: hardnfast A good win percentage with this one with 14 wins from 34 outings.\u00a0 Is from A.P. Indy which in itself suggests class but also has Mr. Prospector and Danzig so I don’t need to say anymore there!\u00a0 Was in great form back in the beginning of the year and has only had a handful of runs since then.\u00a0 Coming back into form now I would suggest and ran a second place finish in his last race at Allowance level.\u00a0 Favourite distance and could get this but will need to improve a bit on his last few runs. Owner: graywolf31 This is the longshot of the race at 8\/1 odds on the tote! haha.\u00a0 Worth backing right there as he has every chance here with a small field.\u00a0 Hasn’t had any fantastic speeds of late and is going to be finding this harder than the Allowance racing that he was in last time out.\u00a0 Also looks to me like he would like longer distances than this race as he has been closing in each of his races but run out of room.\u00a0 Needs to get a good speed to have any chance.\u00a0 Possible. Owner: pisanof\u00a0 Another which is out of form his last race of note was a speed of 110 in an Allowance 4 starts back in June of this year.\u00a0 That was his last win and looked to be getting ready for bigger things.\u00a0 Next two races were Stakes where he was leading early but couldn’t go on with it in the final stretch. And that will be his undoing here I think – distance too great and not enough stamina to keep up the fast starts that he is famous for.\u00a0 Can the others catch him is the question. Owner: focusforce One of only 2 girls in this race is Vixen Valley from Orientate x Capote x Mr. Prospector.\u00a0 Is in sensational form and her last 4 races in particular resulted in 2 wins at G2 and G3 level and then that was followed up by 2 second place finishes at G3 level and then last time out in the G1 Queen of the Hill.\u00a0 Dropping back in class here significantly should be an easy win for her here even against the boys.\u00a0 Have to wait and see but this one is my favourite. Owner: stmarysboy The second mare in this Stakes today, she has been running well at Allowance level getting good results if you look at her record.\u00a0 11 wins and 11 second place finishes out of 43 starts to date.\u00a0 Bred from Carson City x Brinkmanship x Kentucky Gold she is going to find this harder, much harder against the boys at Stakes level.\u00a0 Still with the small field she could figure in the final three.\u00a0 Will have to run better than her last few runs though. \u00a0<\/P> So who to win?\u00a0 I think 5 VIXEN VALLEY(KY)<\/STRONG> will take this out based on her dropping back to Stakes level after some outstanding runs at G3, G2 and G1 last time out.\u00a0 She is against the boys but I think she can do it here.\u00a0 Should be a good race.<\/P><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The ROTTEN WELL Bonanza<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":34,"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-7007","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-previews"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7007","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\/34"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=7007"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7007\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=7007"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=7007"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=7007"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
