Getting one to one of the main attractions of Day One…
Post | Horse | Trainer | Jockey | ML Odds |
1. | Dubawi Heights | Simon Callaghan | Joel Rosario | 8-1 |
Solid winner of the Yellow Ribbon, but I don’t see her beating Stacelita. | ||||
2. | Stacelita | Chad Brown | Ramon Dominguez | 2-1 |
A favorite here for good reason. | ||||
3. | Harmonious | John Shirreffs | Martin Garcia | 30-1 |
Has managed to hit the board often, but hasn’t beaten the best here. | ||||
4. | Cambina | Jeff Bonde | Garrett Gomez | 30-1 |
Tall order in this company. | ||||
5. | Nahrain | Roger Varian | Frankie Dettori | 7-2 |
Undefeated in England and France, but still very lightly-raced. | ||||
6. | Announce | Andre Fabre | Maxime Guyon | 9-2 |
Has done well against very tough fields in Europe. | ||||
7. | Aruna | Graham Motion | Julien Leparoux | 6-1 |
Perhaps the strongest US-bred horse in the race; should be a threat. | ||||
8. | Perfect Shirl | Roger Attfield | John Velazquez | 30-1 |
Has not managed to find the winner’s circle this year, although she has been close. | ||||
9. | Shared Account | Graham Motion | Edgar Prado | 30-1 |
Last year’s longshot winner is back to try again – and is still a longshot based on her current form, but one never knows… | ||||
10. | Distorted Legacy | Angel Penna Jr. | Rajiv Maragh | 30-1 |
Has not excelled in this company in the past. | ||||
11. | Dynaslew | Seth Benzel | Corey Nakatani | 30-1 |
Another American longshot, though very well-bred. | ||||
12. | Misty For Me | Aidan O’Brien | Ryan Moore | 10-1 |
Has beaten Midday and other top European fillies, but needs the right trip. |
Predictions: Stacelita, Misty For Me, Aruna, Nahrain
Longshot: Shared Account
