Furlong Friday in the Prairie

Thank goodness it is Friday.  After a long week of work, we can kick back and enjoy some high octane horse racing.  Today we look in on a fast furlong tussle in the prairie.

Prairie Meadows Race 9 {Iowa Srint Handicap~6 furlongs~3 year old Up~Stakes}
A fast and furious bunch of six will jostle for the win in this annual stakes race.  There is a bevy of speed in this one and if the accelerator is pressed hard it could benefit those that like to come off the pace.  Either way, this will be over in a flash.

#2 Alsvid (Tohill / Hartman) might have a slight edge with a furious pace.  He holds the third highest last out speed number and has put in two quality workouts.  This lad last scored a victory here and loves the track.  Expect him to be close to the pace ready to strike.
$2 SHOW.

#3 Work All Week (Emigh / Bruggemann) should challenge with the highest last out speed number, a five race progression, and four sizzling workouts that include three bullets.  This guy will be making his first appearance at Prairie Meadows and should lead them through swift fractions.
$2 SHOW.

#6 Mico Margarita (Santana / Asmussen) is the only colt among these gelded speedsters.  He should contend with a tactical speed attack.  This colt holds the third highest speed number at the distance and has put in three superb peaking workouts.

#5 Delaunay (Albarado / Amoss) should also challenge with the second highest last out speed number, a two race progression, and one stout workout.  He also holds the second highest speed number over this track.  Expect him to be very close to the pace.

Horse Racing Weekend begins with Turf

We roll into the horse racing weekend by looking at a classic Turf contest in sunny Southern California.

Santa Anita Race 3 {Possibly Perfect Handicap~1 1/2 mile~TURF~3 year old Up~fillies/mares~Stakes}
A great group of seven gals will take to the green in this feature handicap.  There is enough speed to keep things rolling. Any one of these gals could win this race.  Only one has gone this distance.  It should be a very interesting race.

#6 Customer Base (Smith / Proctor) should be able to get the job done with the highest last out speed number, a two race progression, an two solid workouts.  With a decent pace she will be kicking through the stretch.
$2 SHOW.

#3 Change the Channel (T. Baze / McCarthy) should challenge with an excellent speed number two starts back and three superb peaking workouts. This gal will be motoring near the front end seeking to control the speed.
$2 SHOW.

#2 Charlie Em [GB] (M. Garcia / Gallagher) will be in the mix with the second highest last out speed number, a three race progression, and three high quality peaking workouts. She should be forwardly placed ready to get first jump coming into the stretch.

#4 Plaza de Indias [CHI] (F. Perez / Miller) should contend with the third highest last out speed number and four hearty workouts.  She too will be running late toward the wire. This gal is 50% in the money from twenty-four starts.
