Race Replay
Last week Coco got her redemption in the Busher after being outrun in her first BC prep, and she scored with her signature front running style to sew up her spot in this year's Distaff. Nine more fillies return this week for another shot at that free berth to the Breeders' Cup, and it'll be a cavalry charge to the finish with only lone speed in this year's Lady's Secret!
Rhapsody's Mesmerize will lead the field in the betting today after a strong showing this season, and with fewer horses in the field, she'll find herself in better position than her fifth last out showed. Buchiko is hot on her heels in the betting today and despite stopping badly in her last start, this battle-hardened filly figures to be in good position today with the defection of her nemesis Coco. Pretty little Lark is third behind the big two and figures to do her running late, and Dapper Doll will be right there with her in the betting and on the track, as both fillies prefer to chase the pace further back in the field. Duchess figures to be forwardly placed after an up and down season, that saw the filly qualify for the Olympics but fail to fire in the bigger races. Stablemate Mary Lou has the same problem but will be chasing the field from the back of the pace, and have to find running room in this substantial field. We jump to double digits with Chiricahua, another late running filly that surprised by running a monstrous second last out in the Busher. Djinn, a veteran of the Triple Tiara trail, will be the lone speed in the race and can use that to her big advantage, as she is a filly that relishes an uncontested lead. Gracie is the longest shot of all and will have to run the race of her life to beat this field.
It's a hot and sunny day on the East Coast, the perfect weather for a horse race and even better conditions for a Breeders' Cup prep! It'll be nine in the gate this time around as we slowly whittle down the contenders to the best of the best before we reach the Breeders' Cup and it's our third showndown for a spot in the Distaff in this year's Lady's Secret Stakes!
