This week we are headed to West Virginia where on the card they will have the running of the G1, Itchstock. This race will be at the distance of 10 furlongs across the turf track for 3 year old and older fillies and mares only. If I recall this would be one of the races that is a tribute race to our friend Itch that was a member of the sim that was a great friend, player and contributor to the game. We have a field of twelve horses that will make the start for this race and at first glance it would appear we have a tight field that will be racing to get to the wire first and collect their prize at the winner\u2019s circle. The morning line odds and post positions have been released so let us now take a preview of the twelve horses that will make the start in the G1, Itchstock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Heading out first we have this 5 year old Bay Mare (SIYOUNI x DUBAWI (IRE) x GALILEO (IRE) ) that has had three stakes’ races in a row that she has finished up in second. In her most recent start in Kentucky, it looked like she might get to the winner\u2019s circle going 9 furlongs in the G3, Red Bird Handicap. She stayed close throughout the race but would be held off at the wire to finish up in second with a 112 speed rating. She has looked good in her three most recent starts and looks to be in the hunt for her first graded win when she heads over to the turf representing the Empire State Racing residency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here we have a 4 year old Bay Filly (FIEREMENT (JPN) x EPIPHANEIA (JPN) x SADLER’S WELLS ) that would move back up in class for her most recent start after a couple of good Allowance starts. She would come out in Italy to travel 10 furlongs in the G1, The Best Of Rome. She was over thirteen back at the third call and would make a charge down the final stretch to get into third at the wire with a 110 speed rating. She showed up with a good performance in her most recent G1 start and the owner is looking her to have another good effort here in West Virginia when she heads out of the paddock representing the Northwest Racing Circuit residency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next, we will see this 6 year old Bay Mare (PINATUBO x MONSUN x SEA THE STARS ) that two starts back would pick up the win in the G3, The Matchmaker. She would then make her most recent start in Italy going 10 furlongs in the G2, The Lydia Test. Out of the gate she would settle into third and she would hold that spot all the way to the wire with a 110 speed rating. The owner looks for her to put up a little extra effort in the start on Saturday when they come out of the paddock to the cheers of an excited crowd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a 3 year old Bay Filly (ST MARK’S BASILICA x DUBAWI (IRE) x SADLER’S WELLS ) that has put on her resume\u2019 two G1 wins this season. Back in May she would win the G1, Adelaide Oaks by nine lengths. She went off the boards in a couple of starts and then came out in Victoria for her most recent trip to the track going 12.5 furlongs in the G1, The Vicky Oaks. She was back in seventh at the third call, but her jockey had it timed right for her as she found an extra gear in her stretch run and would get to the wire by a head to get the win with a 109 speed rating. She is stepping up against older horses for the first time in the start on Saturday and would like to be in the money representing the Orphan Racing residency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here we have a 4 year old Bay Filly (SEA THE STARS x KINGMAMBO x MONTJEU ) that has been running hot in her three most recent graded starts. She would get the win in the G3, The Humble Handicap and then follow that up with the win in the G2, The Beat Up Ford. She would then make her most recent start in Japan going 10 furlongs in the G2, Queen Liz Commemorative. Back in seventh at the third call she would turn for home and hit the gas as she got to the front and win with a 109 speed rating. She has three graded wins in a row and is looking to make it four this weekend when she breaks from her gate to the cheers of an excited crowd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next, we have this 3 year old Bay Filly (DYLAN THOMAS x DEEP IMPACT x MONTJEU ) that two starts back would pick up a nice Allowance win. It was felt she was ready to move back up in class for her most recent start in Victoria where she would travel 10 furlongs in the G3, The Wake Up Stakes. She would stay close to the pace in this race and down the stretch she would come to get out in front and pick up the win with a 111 speed rating. She is going to need to bring that speed with her this weekend facing more experienced horse when she heads out representing the Orphan Racing residency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next, we will see this 4 year old Bay Filly (SIYOUNI x SHAMARDAL x DUBAI MILLENNIUM ) that will go off as the 5\/1 co-favorite in the field. In her six most recent starts she has only missed the boards one time, and she did pick up the win in the G2, The Randy Vet. In her most recent start, she would head out in Italy going 10 furlongs in the G2, The Lydia Test. Out of the gate she would fight to find her spot in second and that is where she stayed all the way to the wire with a 110 speed rating. This filly likes hitting the boards and the owner would like to see another big hit for her this weekend when she heads over to her gate representing the GR Simsters residency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here we have a 3 year old Bay Filly (DUNDEEL (NZ) x FRANKEL (GB) x KINGMAMBO ) that has had five starts this season and never missed the boards. She also picked up the win in the G1, Oaks de English and the G1, The Irish Oaks. Her most recent start would come in Victoria where she would go 12.5 furlongs in the G1, The Vicky Oaks. This front runner would be on lead in the early going but would be run down in the final stretch to cross the wire in third with a 107 speed rating. She is a rabbit in this field so keep her in your sights when she breaks from her gate representing the Orphan Racing residency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next, we come to this 4 year old Bay Filly (FRANKEL (GB) x SEA THE STARS x DUBAWI (IRE) ) that two starts back would get up for the win in the G1, Prix Opera. She would then make her way to California for her most recent start in the G1, Breeders\u2019 Bowl F and M Turf. She would linger well back throughout this race and never be a factor crossing the wire in ninth with a 105 speed rating. She is looking to rebound after that disappointing start, and we know she likes this 10 furlong distance. She will head out in the post parade on Saturday representing the GR Simsters residency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a 5 year old Bay Mare (LOPE DE VEGA x MEDAGLIA D’ORO x DUBAWI (IRE) ) that is your other 5\/1 co-favorite in the field. Back in April she would pick up the win in the G1, Queen Kam Stakes. This horse that has only been off the boards once this season made her most recent start in Italy going 10 furlongs in the G1, The Best Of Rome. Out of the gate she would fight her way into second and that is where she would stay throughout the race and cross the wire with a 110 speed rating. She sure would like to add another G1 win this season when she heads over to the turf representing the Empire State Racing residency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next, we have this 5 year old Chestnut Mare (FRANKEL (GB) x GIANT’S CAUSEWAY x DANZIG ) that has been running on both the dirt and turf surfaces this season. Her two most recent starts have been on the turf and two starts back she would pick up the win on the turf in the Pharson Carson Turf Mare Special. She would them move up in class after that race to make her most recent start in California going 10 furlongs in the G1, Yellow Submarine Stakes. She did well in this start as she closed down the stretch to finish in second with a 112 speed rating. She has put together several good starts in a row and would like to keep hitting the boards when she heads out of the paddock representing the Elite Racing Club residency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Break from the outside gate will be this 5 year old Light Grey Mare (C’MON TIGER x MONSUN x EL PRADO ) that had three wins in a row prior to making her most recent start in Japan where she moved up in class to go 10 furlongs in the G2, Queen Liz Commemorative. She would have a disappointing trip in this start and was too far back as she turned for home at the top of the final stretch. She did make up a little ground but would finish up in seventh with a 104 speed rating. She will need to show some extra effort this weekend when she makes the start to the cheers of an excited crowd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Good luck to all owners and horses!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Skippy\u2019s Watch List<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

5-Queens And Stars: She has three graded wins in a row. Will she make it four?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7-Yes Next Frame: Was the bridesmaid in her most recent start. Can she find the win?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

10-Bargains And Lies: Off the boards only once this season. Can she find the wire on Saturday?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tarton\u2019s Long Shot<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

8-Total Real Deel: I am going deep in this field with this 3 year old filly sired by Dundeel. She has been running at a little longer distance in her most recent starts but I think she will handle 10 furlongs. She is the rabbit in this race and if she can get out in front early with a good start, she might be able to put the pressure on this field. She already has two G1 wins this season and in her most recent start came in third. Going off at 21\/1 in the morning line, if she fires against these older horses, she could be a moneymaker. Let\u2019s give her a little support at the betting windows this Saturday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
