Grade 1 Princess Rooney

7/12 (SAT) G1 Princess Rooney H.- CRC

#1 Dixie Dreamer- This mare won last out in a minor stakes earning a huge ESF of 101. I am not going to claim to be an exert on Calder, but 1:11 seems like a pretty slow time for 6 furlongs. She should come closing, but I don’t think she has much of a chance in this race.

#2 Mistical Plan- This filly has been everywhere. Whether winning the Sunshine Millions Oaks or running behind Rags to Riches in the Kentucky Oaks she always gives her all. She probably won’t be able to wrangle the early lead from Dream Rush, but I think she will be tracking close in second. Winning this race would be a tall order, but I definitely think she could be in the money.

#3 Bereba- She easily won a very cheap minor stakes last out, but I just don’t see her competing in this race. She isn’t classy enough.

#4 Dream Rush- The speed of the speed, this filly was reeled in by Looky Yonder last out. Dream Rush was the first filly to ever beat champion Dreaming of Anna in 2007. She ran well her second time off the shelf last year and I expect the same this time around. Wire to wire.

#5 Miraculous Miss-Ballsy move to run against the boys two back paid off when she finished 3rd. The winner of that race, Benny the Bull, is now the top sprinter in the country. Prior to that race she was second in the inaugural running of the Breeders Cup Filly & Mare Sprint. She caught a VERY tough field in her return and finished a close 4th. She should be right there when its all said and done.

#6 Looky Yonder- Dutrow’s filly has run two very nice races in a row. I’m looking for her to bounce this race. I don’t know why, but she just screams “I’m not going to run” to me. This probably means she will end up winning by 10 lengths. In all seriousness, I would use her third but I don’t see her running another big race.

#7 Rgirldoesn’tbluff- This filly NEEDS the lead and she may or may not get it. If she does, she will be under heavy pressure from the get go. Speed and fade.

1st- Dream Rush
2nd- Miraculous Miss
3rd- Mistical Plan
