Superfecta Sunday in the Pea Patch

 On this Superfecta Sunday we venture into the "Pea Patch" for some great stakes action.

Ellis Park Race 8 {Pea Patch Stakes~5 1/2 Furlongs~3 year-old~Filly~Stakes}

A reduced field of nine will hit the green in this annual affair.

Past Performances used:  Equibase.

A plethora of speed will make the pace sizzling. Speed numbers are fairly close with three runners having hit the triple-digit mark. Only one entrant has run over the Ellis Park course. Two will drop from graded stakes events and one will attempt this distance for the first time. It should be a nice race on a Sunday of great racing.

#12 Mae Town (Geroux / B. Lynch) comes in seeking her third win in a row. She won last out at this distance sharing the highest last out speed number. This gal loves the Turf. One decent workout helps her cause. Look for her to track the pace closely and strike in the stretch. A daughter of Mo Town, she is 100% in the money from four starts.

$2 WIN  /  $3 PLACE  /  $5 SHOW.

#5 Lovely Emma (Bejarano / Eurton) will battle with the speedsters on the front end. She loves the Turf, distance, and the course. She comes in from Baqueduct where she did not have a good performance, but has put in four strong workouts in preparation. A daughter of Twirling Candy, she is 60% in the money from five starts.

#9 Brindi [IRE] (Vives / Danner) comes in from Woodbine seeking her third win in a row. She should be close to front looking for position. This girl has a decent last out speed number at a longer sprint and two sound workouts. A daughter of No Nay Never, she is 62% in the money from eight starts.

#7 Vodka with a Twist (J. Torres / D'Amato) will make a surface switch and try this distance for the first time. This gal has the tactical speed to adapt to the pace. She shares the highest last out speed number and two strong workouts. A daughter of Thousand Words, she is 88% int he money from nine starts.
