Past performances for this race can be found at www.drf.com/ under the Race of the Day section. The race is for three-year-old fillies at the distance of 5.5 furlongs on the turf. It is an OC50/N1X event. This is an interesting race, and I must admit that turf sprints are hardly my forte. However, I’ll make my top pick Winning Tale at odds of 5-1. She has run into some really good horses including Delta Princess winner Quiet Temper, Breeders Cup Juvenile Fillies winner She Be Wild, and Santa Ynez winner Amen Hallelujah. She will be getting a significant relief in class today. Jockey Eddie Martin Jr was aboard when she finished 2nd in the $100k La Senorita and will have the mount in this race also.

Winning Tale has a strong pedigree being a daughter of Tale of the Cat. Trainer Bret Calhoun connected at 19% with jockey Eddie Martin last year. She ran poorly last out when trying a dirt route for the first time, but I’m willing to put a line through that race. Turf is clearly her preferred surface. I expect her to get a nice trip behind the pacesetters and pounce turning for home.

Quiet Class deserves a look at 8-1 from the Ralph Nicks barn. Fransico Torres will regain the mount. He guided the filly to a first out victory at Keeneland at six furlongs over the Poly Track. She ran poorly last out when trying a turf route, but I expect a better effort here cutting back in distance. I’d hook her with my top selection Winning Tale in the exacta.

Good luck and lets hope Winning Tale can get it done!
