The Dream Supreme
$300.000 6 Furlongs Dirt
Fillies And Mares Three Years Old and Upward
CD November 8, 2025
Six ladies are set to line up on Saturday at Churchill Downs for a nice $300.000 purse. Three seems to be a theme in this race. Aside from the purse there are a trio of three-year-olds facing three older rivals in this strict weight for age event. This is a nice post Breeders Cup event offering a chance for someone to step up away from the heavyweights in this division. The forecast is for a fast track.
1. In Progress (TwinTowerRacing/ F. Geroux) Broke through and won a G2 event in her last start coming home first in the G2 Bloom Handicap at the Big A. It may be a blessing in disguise that she ended up just outside of qualifying for the BC because she finds a nice spot here and is in with a big chance. Went wire to wire in her big win and she draws the rail to use her speed as she wishes
2. Daisen (London Racing/A. Concepcion) Three-year-old which is the lowest earner in the field, but she missed scoring a G3 win by a nose in her last start, and her speed figures are on an upward curve. She has won four of her ten starts so she has that competitive urge and could be improving at the right time. Like her foe to her inside she has speed and expect her to be forwardly placed.
3. Amazing Nation (Asgar/B. Curtis) Graded stakes winner whose last five starts have been stellar. She is two lengths and a neck from coming into this race on a five-race win streak. Earned a three figure SRF in her last race and her works show she is ready to continue her ascent.
4. Flint Off (Asgar/D.E. Centeno) Stakes winning four-year-old who is looking to rebound from a couple of subpar efforts in graded events. After running a nice second in the Ruffian Handicap she ran two bad races in a row. One was going a route on a muddy track and the second was a cutback attempt where she drew post 9 out of 10. Even with some possible excuses it is hard to ignore that downward trend in form, but she is moving back to a sprint and that might be what she really wants to do. Would benefit if a hot pace develops.
5. Breath Of The Threat (Winning Link Stable/R.M. Hernandez) A stakes winner at this distance last December. She has been running in graded events and ran third to In Progress in late September. She can compete with the top horses on her best day, and she ran a really good second at this track and this distance in the Winning Colors this past May. She has the perfect stalking style to be dangerous.
6. Scrumdiddlyumptious (La Canada Racehorses/T.W. Bacon) Smartly named daughter of Wonka Wizardry has won five of her ten starts this year. She has won three of her last five races and all three of them were stakes. She attempted a step up in the G2 River Run in her last outing where she drew a poor outside post and ran somewhat evenly to finish two lengths behind the winner. She has speed from the outside and is in good form, but this is her eleventh start in a very busy season which could be a concern but her works say she has maintained her sharpness.
You can make a case for each and every one of the six entered. I think the pace will be hot and that Amazing Nation can continue her streak of good form and work out a winning stalking trip from her third post. In Progress is class and speed from the inside. She will definitely be part of the pace, and I think she has the class to stay on for second even if challenged early. Daisen never runs a bad race, and I will pick her over a closing Breath Of The Threat for third.
