Number Nine has made her living going long in races like this, but she does it in an impressive fashion, by going right to the front and hoping to stay there until the end. Prior to the Bewitch, three of her six most recent races saw her go wire to wire to get a win, with the races distances being at least a mile and a quarter.

This Saturday at KEE, older females that like to keep in running on the grass will head to the starting gate for the 17th running of the Grade 3 Bewitch. It offers a $150.000 purse to be divided up between its top four finishers, and that amount has been mostly constant throughout the history of the race.
