Stakes Saturday in Kentucky

 We take in some stakes action under the Twin Spires on this Stakes Saturday.

Churchill Downs Race 12 {Fern Creek Stakes~6 1/2 Furlongs~2 year-old~Fillies~Stakes}

A great group of twelve will go to the dirt in this lucky last on the card stakes race.

Past Performances used:  Equibase.

There is a plethora of speed to heat this pace to a boil. Speed figs are very close amongst these lightly raced gals. Half the field have raced at least three times, the balance will be making their second or third start. Only three have gone this exact distance. It should be an excellent race to cap off the card.

#1 Youalmosthadme (Gaffalione / B. Cox) holds the highest last out speed number and two efficient workouts. She loves the surface and the track. It will be her first start at this distance. Expect her to be forwardly placed. A daughter of Oxbow, she is 100% in the money from five starts.

$2 WIN  /  $3 PLACE  /  $5 SHOW.

#11 Bella Haze (Beschizza / Santamaria) comes in from a Turf route with the second highest (tie) speed number and four strong peaking workouts. She will show speed. It will be her first start over the Churchill track. A daughter of Flameaway, she is 75% in the money from four starts.

$2 PLACE  /  $3 SHOW.

#8 Field Lass (Leparoux / Arnold) will be forwardly placed with the highest speed number over the Churchill track and two superb workouts. This gal has raced at the distance. A daughter of Munnings, she has a win rate of 25% from four starts.

$2 SHOW.
