5 1/2 Furlongs on Dirt
7/9/2016 17:20 at SA
It’s not easy picking among these 2YOs. Witch Named Fred has won the most money with $42.000 in earnings. Ginger Haggis has the most experience with 2 wins in 3 starts, the last in Optional Claiming company by 5 lengths. Peppermint Tune turned in a 59.20 breeze on July 2nd and has the highest SRF figure at 88. These are my picks, but I’m going to let them sort out the order.
Here’s the field:
1 Witch Name Fred
Owner: John Henry
Breeder: Team 7 Illusions
Sire: El Gran Broomstick
Dam: The Dead Are Marchin (Walkin Dead)
After finishing 8th of 10 in his debut, this colt came back to break his maiden in NY-bred MSW company at BEL. Working well at SA.
2 Stinky Farley
Owner / Breeder: Waldo
Sire: Farley Farley Farley
Dam: Reality Stinks (Good Times)
Still a maiden after a 6th place finish going 2 furlongs at WO in his only start. May need more experience to compete with these.
3 Charley Rama
Owner/Breeder: Tiratzo
Sire: Chief Charley
Dam: Three Alarm Fire (Fire Cat)
Broke his maiden second time out at GP in FL-bred MSW company and looked good doing it. Could be a factor here.
4 Adamant Am High
Owner/Breeder: Waldo
Sire: Jolly Be Great
Dam: Pitiful Pet
With an 8th place in his only start, this one has an uphill battle. Nice works on turf at CD.
5 Ginger Haggis
Owner/Breeder: The Sidley Stud
Sire: Zyzoxolus
Dam: Ginger Time
Most experienced in the field with three starts. He broke his maiden first out at LS, then finished 8th (just 2 lengths back) in the $100.000 KY Juvenile. Dropped into Optional Claiming company at FE and won by an impressive 5 lengths. Definitely one to watch.
6 Mahi Mahi
Owner/Breeder: Brave
Sire: Kruz
Dam: Tickle Me Pink (Elmo)
Broke his maiden at PIM last out. Before that he finished 3rd of 8 in his debut, both in high-level MSW. Looks good coming into this race.
7 Peppermint Tune
Owner/Breeder: Allinthegate
Sire: Peppermint Moon
Dam: Song About Me (Ask About Me)
Also coming in off a maiden win. This one at GG; this one also in MSW company.
