Groupie Doll for the Ladies

 We go to the "Pea Patch" on this Superfecta Sunday for a terrific stakes race on the dirt for the ladies.

Ellis Park Race 10 {Groupie Doll Stakes~1 mile~3 year-old Up~Fillies/Mares~Stakes}

A reduced field of eight will go to the gate in this annual affair.

Past Performances used:  Equibase.

A talented field will battle for victory in this stakes race which happens to be the Lucky Last on the card. There is plentiful speed to make a very swift pace. Speed numbers are very close making competitive as well. Only two will be stretching out to this distance. All but one have raced over the Ellis Park course. It should be a fantastic race.

#3 Taxed (B. Hernandez / Morse) is the deserved favorite with the second highest last out speed number at a longer route and two solid workouts. This will be her first run over the Ellis Park dirt. Look for her to track the pace closely and spring into the stretch. A daughter of Collected, she is 60% in the money from fifteen starts.

$2 WIN  /  $3 PLACE  /  $5 SHOW.

#4 Pigalle (Machado / Drury) should be forwardly placed having hit the board in her last three and posting three strong workouts. She loves the dirt, distance, and course. This gal should take another step forward. A daughter of Blame, she is 77% in the money from nine starts.

#1 Mystic Pleasure (Geroux / Brisset) will stretch out to this distance, though she has raced longer. This lady has the tactical speed to hang with the pacesetters. She comes in with the fourth highest last out speed number and three sound workouts. A daughter of Good Magic, she is 66% in the money from six starts.

#5 Musical Mischief (Morales / McCarthy) will chase the pace closely and swing fluidly into the stretch. She holds the third highest last out speed number at a longer route and four hearty workouts. A daughter of Into Mischief, she is 60% in the money from ten starts.

#7 Fancy (Ja. Torres / B. Walsh) has improved her speed figs in each of her last five races. She should track the pace closely and launch into the stretch. This filly loves the dirt and distance. A daughter of Justify, she is 50% in the money from eight starts.
