Race Replay
Last week saw Dracarys gut it out to the wire with filly Secret Silence lapped to his throatlatch, winning by only the luck of the head bob at the finish. Today, Secret Silence is back for revenge along with five other colts and fillies as we stretch out to the farthest distance yet in the 15 furlong Sadlers Wells.
Rhapsody's Warpaint leads the parade at the shortest price of the board, despite failing to fire in the Round Table and inexpicably finishing last of eight. Stablemate Accendere is second choice today after an off the board finish last week, but losing only by a length and a nose after leading the pack. Vixin is next on the board but after a series of off the board finishes in all of her BC preps, there may not be hope of her living up to those odds. Secret Silence is fourth choice despite her epic stretch duel with Dracarys last out, but the chestnut filly has fire to spare going long. Daella is next in line and will look to make a splash as big as her looks, despite coming up empty last out in open company. Unrequited is the longest shot of all, but not for lack of trying, as the daughter of Marathon here Sword Play has shown talent to spare in the Grade 3 ranks.
It's another beautiful day for a horse race with the clouds nowhere to be seen and the sun shining like a supernova in the sky. The track is firm as can be for these six stellar colts and fillies, and they'll have to use it to their full advantage to earn their spot in the Breeders' Cup. They're off in the 2019 Sadlers Wells Handicap!
