Horses Gallop South for the Winter

Another fine stakes Saturday as we take a look at two extremely competitive graded stakes races on the Turf at Calder Race Course.

Calder Race Course Race 9 {My Charmer~G3~1 1/8 mile~Turf~3 year old Up~fillies/mares~Stakes}
A fabulous field of twelve gals are expected to make the start with four also eligible gals looking in.  This promises to be heart-pounding excitement.  Miss World (Cruz / Clement) has a slight edge with the second highest last out speed number, a three race progression, and one bullet workout.  Askbut I Won't Tell (S. Bridgmohan / Block) will challenge with the highest last out speed number, a two race progression, and one solid workout.  Mary's Follies (Desormeaux / R. Dutrow) is ready to take a step forward with the third highest (3-way tie) last out speed number and four sensational, peaking workouts.  Volver [IRE] (Buezelin / Biancone) might also challenge in her first North American start.  She will be coming down in distance from her last start in France prior to a 90-day layoff.  She has put in four fantastic, peaking workouts.  A real threat.  Three others will be in great position to make a race of it.  The Niagara Queen (A. Smith / Pletcher) has posted a triple digit speed number at this distance and has put in two quality workouts.  Paracaides (Trujillo / Ma. Wolfson) also shares the second highest last out speed number, has a three race progression, and two hearty workouts.  You Go West Girl (Prado / Proctor) looks ready sharing that third highest last out speed number.  She has a two race progression and has put in three superb workouts.  Make no mistake, this is a highly competitive race. Let's play our first of the day at Calder Race Course.

Calder Race Course Race 11 {Tropical Turf Handicap~G3~1 1/8~Turf~3 year old Up~Stakes}
Another terrific field of twelve will be ready to make the start.  All marvelous Turfers.  Rahy's Attorney (Prado / Black) if let loose on the front end has the edge with the highest last out speed number, a four race progression, and three well-built, peaking workouts.  Rahystrada (Homeister / Hughes)  will challenge showing the second highest speed number at the distance and two athletic, peaking workouts.  Never On Sunday [FR] (Fragoso / Biancone) looks well prepped for this race with a decent speed number coming off a longer route and four ferocious, peaking workouts.  Tannersville (Galviz / Collazo) could be in there for a piece of the purse with a 100% in the money record at Calder and two robust, peaking workouts.  Baletti (Cruz / Penna)  will be in the mix with the third highest (tie) last out speed number, a two race progression, and four fierce workouts.  Not a single horse in this group is a "tosser".  They all have a chance to gallop their way into the winners circle.  Let's play our second Turf battle at Calder Race Course.
