A quintet of older, long winded fillies and mares are here in Norway to\u00a0compete in this week’s two mile feature.\u00a0 Here are the ladies in order from the hedge outward.<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
Breaking from barrier one will be Hardnfast’s well named five year old, Path To Riches<\/STRONG>.\u00a0 The big, almost white Mineshaft mare has won six of nine career starts at two miles on the grass.\u00a0 She arrives in Norway riding the crest of a two race winning streak, both two mile turf stakes.\u00a0 Looks to pad her already hefty ($231,580) bankroll on Saturday afternoon.\u00a0 Could not possibly be sharper and clearly the main threat to\u00a0heavily favored Raging River Cat.\u00a0<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
Number two is Miss Isringhausen<\/STRONG> from Kirby’s Deadwood6 barn.\u00a0 The six year old gray mare has compiled an impressive\u00a0\u00a031-9-8-8 $236,142 record in turf races over the years.\u00a0 She has been dabbling in dirt\u00a0events recently and arrives from North Korea off a third place finish in a mile and three eighths\u00a0main course\u00a0stake.\u00a0 Has yet to actually win an added money event and\u00a0seems to be in tough here.\u00a0 <\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
Siriusflit’s Raging River Cat<\/STRONG> tuned up for this tilt with a pair of easy allowance scores.\u00a0 The rangy Storm Cat mare is a four time stakes winner in turf marathons and is graded placed twice.\u00a0 She has had mixed results at two miles.\u00a0 Two romping wins, twice distanced, and once third.\u00a0 Loaded with class and clearly the one to beat if she brings her “A” game.<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
Next comes the talented and versatile Not Today<\/STRONG> from the Bizalls stable group.\u00a0 She is\u00a0very good\u00a0on both surfaces as evidenced by her six figure earnings on each.\u00a0\u00a0 As consistent as the flashy Johar chestnut has been throughout the majority her career, she’s been highly erratic of late.\u00a0 Her last two are simply awful, having been beaten a total of forty eight lengths combined.\u00a0 However, three back she won a mile and a half North Korean stake by open lengths while posting a sparkling 106 speed figure.\u00a0 Her\u00a0four outings prior to that show a huge win and three double digit defeats.\u00a0 How will she do Saturday?\u00a0 Depends\u00a0on which Not Today shows up.\u00a0<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
Last but not least is Darnath Stables’ consistent Testa Ratta<\/STRONG>.\u00a0 She makes her four year old debut having been first or second in nine straight turf allowances.\u00a0 This will be the first stakes start for the chestnut Testa Rossa lass and the difficulty of her assignment is apparent.\u00a0 l wouldn’t be surprised if she outruns her odds, but a\u00a0victory is not likely.\u00a0<\/DIV><\/DIV><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
