Wild Applause

1 Mile InTurf Stake Purse $150.00 Fillies Three-Year-Olds. At SAR

Wild Applause is a small but closely matched field of lightly raced fillies headed by the lightest races of all, Mb Stables’ Stagger Home which was just impressive breaking her maiden over a sharp maiden field. I expect the most competition will come from Our Athletes’ Missing Dress which has a third place in a graded stakes to her name. Here’s the field:

1  Free The Viking                     La Canada Racehorses                 89

Free The Viking won a 1 1/16 mile optional claimer at FE and also broke her maiden at 1 16 miles. In between was a series of excellent performances on turf, any at a mile. I doubt she needs that extra 1/16 mile, but if she does, she will like still be a part of the finish.

2  Matilda Jung                    Noblepark                  96

Matilda Jung scored a big SRF number last, but it was at 5 1/2 furlongs whiles running seventh, so it’s pretty muddy. She has yet to have won at a mile, but she broke her maiden a 7 1/2 furlongs.

3   Heaven Park                          D J C Racing Stables                 89

Heaven Park took four races to break her maiden on the turf, but it was a matter of getting some distance for the win. She followed that victory with a win on the dirt in a pricey AQU State Bred allowance race

4   Missing Dress                     Our Athletes                  93 she w

Missing Dress finished third in the Grade III Appalachian at KEE but then failed at the 1 1/16 mile Edgewood at CD. With the sterling record that preceded that one loss, I think that back at a mile she will be a factor at the wire.

5   Stagger Home                Mb Stables                      89

Mb Stables thought enough of Stagger Home to enter her in the Grade II SA Oaks where she showed a decent closer performance coming from tenth to fifth. She followed that with a come from last to win a maiden race at CD. I expect she will win another.
