Let’s meet the field.<\/P>

DIVINATION (Smarty Jones x Sky Mesa x Seeking the Gold)<\/B><\/P>
Trainer: waremblem3\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/I>Jockey: V Elliot\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Odds: 8\/1<\/SPAN><\/P> This 3yo mare out of the dam Rocket Queen, comes to Maryland this week with a pretty short race history of on 5 career starts but she has been burning up the track in those races. She has 3 wins and 2 shows for career earnings of $106,192. As a 2yo she broke her maiden at 6.5 furlongs on the dirt then went on to win an Allowance race at the same distance and then the Non-Graded Stakes, The SEATTLE STRUMPET Memorial at 7.5 furlongs. Her only start in 2009 was back in the end of January in the 8 furlong, Non-Graded CHEYENNE STORM Memorial where after leading the entire race, she dropped back to finish 3rd, 6 1\/4 lengths off the lead. She is ranked #188 for dirt sprint.<\/SPAN><\/P> SNATCH (Kingmambo x El Prado (IRE) x Mr. Prospector)<\/SPAN><\/B><\/P> Trainer: <\/SPAN>super26\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/I>Jockey: N Prescott\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Odds: 4\/1<\/SPAN><\/P> This nicely bred 3yo mare is out of the dam Cheiron (IRE) and comes to the track this week with an 8 race career. She has 2 wins, 1 place and one show and has only finished out of the money once. She has career earnings of $35,740. After breaking her maiden her fourth time on the track in an 8 furlong MSW, she went on to immediately follow up that win with an 8 furlong Allowance win. When brought up to Non-Graded Stakes races for her last 3 outings, though, she has failed to perform. With two 8 furlong and one 8.5 furlong Non-Graded attempts the best she could place was 2nd. Her trainer has decided to drop the distance some this week to see if that helps to improve her any. She is unranked for dirt sprint.<\/SPAN><\/P> IDEA SQUIRT (Squirtle Squirt x Forty Niner x Well Decorated)<\/SPAN><\/B><\/P> Trainer: <\/SPAN>hoofin1<\/I>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Jockey: C Kopper\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Odds: 12\/1<\/SPAN><\/P> This 3yo mare out of Ollie Rate comes here this week with only 3 other races under her girth. She broke her maiden her first time out back in November, 2008 at 5 furlongs. She was immediately sent off to 2 non-graded Stakes races, one at 5.5 furlongs and the other at 6 furlongs and both were on an off track. She managed a third and a seventh which puts her career earnings at $28,240. Although the long shot in this race, the fast dirt and slightly longer distance may be more to her liking and it will be interesting to see how she performs this week. She is unranked for dirt sprint.<\/SPAN><\/P> BOP’IN BOSTON (Bop x Boston Harbor x Blushing Groom)<\/SPAN><\/B><\/P> Trainer: <\/SPAN>navytales\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/I>Jockey: Ja Ingram\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Odds: 6\/1<\/SPAN><\/P> This 3yo mare is out of dam Six Ton and comes to Maryland this week with career earnings of $65,375 from a record that includes 7 starts with 2 wins and 1 place. She broke her maiden her third time out in a 7 furlong MSW on the sloppy track and then immediately followed that win with a win in a 7.5 Allowance race. Since then she has had 3 non-graded Stakes attempts; at 7, 7.5 and 8 furlongs but to no avail. The best she could finish out of the three was fourth back in January in the 7.5 furlong, SCHOOL ALICE Handicap. She is ranked #623 for dirt sprint.<\/SPAN><\/P> NINETY FIVE THESES (Johannesburg x Seattle Slew x Defrere)<\/SPAN><\/B><\/P> Trainer: <\/SPAN>theprofit\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/I>Jockey: C Eacho\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0Odds: 3\/1<\/SPAN><\/P> This 3yo mare is one of the three in this race that are extremely close for the favorite. She is out of the dam Chase Seattle and out of 9 career starts, she has 3 wins, 1 place and 1 show for careear earnings of $167,780. After breaking her maiden her second time out in a 5.5 furlong MSW, she went on to win 5.5 furlong non-graded Stakes, The PAJAMAS TICKLING Memorial and then immediately followed that win with a Grade III win in the 6.5 furlong Lean Machine Stakes in July, 2008. After trying her at different distances (6 to 8.5 furlongs) and different Grades (3 Grade II’s and a Grade I) and an Allowance, she has been unable to capture another win since. It is being hoped that bringing her back down to Non-Graded Stakes level and a modest distance of 7.5 furlongs will shake her losing streak. She is ranked #58 for dirt sprint.<\/SPAN><\/P> STONERS OWN TEXAS (Rahy x Lyphard x Riverman)<\/SPAN><\/B><\/P> Trainer: <\/SPAN>fitzgerald\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/I>Jockey: C Gerhke\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Odds: 7\/2<\/SPAN><\/P> The second of the very close 3 favorites, this 3 yo mare has spent most of her career on the turf. This will only be her second start on the dirt. She has 5 career starts with 3 wins (one on dirt and 2 on turf) for career earnings of $119,800. After breaking her maiden in a 7 furlong MSW on the turf she went right on to win the 8 furlong non-graded Stakes ALL IN A GLORY Bonanza which was also on the turf. After placing fourth in her next attempt, another 8 furlong non-graded on the turf, she was switched over to the dirt where she stood in the winner’s circle once again, this time in a 7 furlong Allowance race. She is ranked #537 for dirt sprint.<\/SPAN><\/P> FARMLAND (Tropical Storm x Machiavellian x Bahri)<\/SPAN><\/B><\/P> Trainer: <\/SPAN>towerlight\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/I>Jockey: K Eckloff\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Odds: 5\/2<\/SPAN><\/P> This 3yo is the favorite in this week’s race but not by much. Out of 11 career starts she has 3 wins, 5 places and 2 shows for career earnings of $171,730. After breaking her maiden her second time out in May 2008, it wouldn’t be until November when she would stand in the winner’s circle but she did it back to back then with wins in both the 6 furlong Non-Graded MEADOW HEATHER and the 6.5 furlong Non-graded WOOD CUP back in January. Since breaking her maiden, though, she has never finished worse than third. She is ranked #35 for dirt sprint.<\/SPAN><\/P> Ninety Five Theses x Divination x Farmland<\/SPAN><\/B><\/P> I think Ninety Five Theses will take this race. She has been improving and can definitely handle the distance. Divination and Farmland will battle it out for second and third with Divination taking second but not by far.<\/SPAN><\/P> Good Luck and Happy Racing.<\/SPAN><\/P><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It’s the 3yo ladies in Maryland this week<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":466,"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-7284","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-previews"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7284","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\/466"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=7284"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7284\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=7284"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=7284"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/btb.ehorseracing.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=7284"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
