\u00a0<\/o:p><\/B><\/P>

This young colt out of the mares2010 stable has run three times, and looks to be a tough contender in today\u2019s race.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>His first two races were both restricted to members of the URC residence.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>He won both the MSW, and the Allowance running SP\u2019s of 72 and 84.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>His third race, an open Grade II proved to be a bit of a bigger task, and he took third though he ran an 82 SP.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>J.

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/B><\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/B><\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

So that rounds out our field of nine horses today.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>It looks to be a great race, and we have a lot of boys trying their first crack at a mile race, so don\u2019t be surprised if there are some upsets in this race.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>It is very tough to chose and pick a two year old race, but if you were to ask me what horses to take, my top three in no particular order would be 4, 7, and 9.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Although I think every horse may have a shot today.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Remember folks for all of your sim racing articles, head on over to the Black Type Bugler and check us out.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>For all of us here at the BTB, we would like to thank you for reading our articles.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>I would like to thank you for taking your time to read my article today, and want to say good luck to all trainers today.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>This has been Dylan with your Champagne Mile preview.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>\u00a0<\/SPAN><\/B><\/P><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
