What: Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf Preview
Where: Churchill Downs
When: Friday, November 4th
Those looking for a volitle best sportsbook winning libation for the Juvenile Fillies Turf need look no further than Somali Lemonade and she looms the most potent of the American candidates to take down the majority portion of the million-dollar purse of this event.
Trained by Barbaro’s conditioner Michael Matz Lemonade, did something that is not easy to do and that’s win a Grade 3 right after graduating and doing it going away. This mile fray should be right up her alley as she has posted the highest Beyer, 90, of any of her generation and sex this year.
This miss does not seem to be fazed by conceding the field many sports betting lengths and it may have something to do with her classy pedigree. Her unraced dam is kin to a pair of Grade 2 winners and the dam also dropped three others that banked 6 figures.
The next logical filly to scrutinize is the miss that just chased Lemonade, Sweet Cat, who posted a triple digit Beyer on dirt this year. By monster turf racer Kitten’s Joy, Sweet Cat may not have adored the yielding course last time but has already showed up at Churchill. She was 9 clear in her last effort and although she has speed, she doesn’t absolutely need the lead to win.
The top Euro will likely be the John Gosden student Elusive Kate. She was left with too much work to do in her debut, her only lost in 5 starts this year. She has won at a number of different venues and should be forwardly placed from the get go. One of her best assets is that she can track and still succeed.
There is also quality blood on the bottom side. Although the dam only won once, Kate is kin to Breeders’ Cup Classic winner and near $8 million Breeder’s Cup betting earner Pleasantly Perfect.
Stephanie’s Kitten has had some eventful trips this year. She broke poorly in the debut, and was hung out to dry from post ten in her first Graded effort, when a late third. She rebounded from that race cashing in the Grade 1 Alcibiades at Keeneland.
Those in a romantic state of mind may look to Northern Passion, who was professional in her winning debut, rallied too late in her next, but then took the Grade 3 Natalma at Woodbine in September.
She was also flattered when the show horse in the Natalma, Stephanie’s Kitten, returned to win the Alcibiades.
In this game, it can be a case of put up or shut up and the connections of Pure Gossip plan to supplement her to this race for $100,000.
That’s quite a gamble but this miss rates an upset glance. Pushed wide in her only loss of her career, she made her debut on grass count when handling a soft course in the Grade 3 Ms. Grillo when cashing by over 6 lengths.
If online players are looking for a long shot, they could do worse than evaluate Dear Lavinia, who has won three of 5 starts career vs. softer company. There is some decent blood on the bottom side as she is out of a dam that won twice and who is kin to over $3 million earner Kongo Rikishio.
Look for a lockdown of picks a couple of days before this race goes.
