Horse number 1, but in post position 4, is Mikeadors Jules. He's a first time starter, a 3 year old by Kador De Blaziet out of the wonderful producing mare Tiki Destiny by Sambors Destiny. He was bred in Texas by Sam Vasquez who is also his owner, and trained by Juan Ascencio. While this colt's works don't show himself to be a speed freak (42.6 breezing on the 21st of August), watch out for him in this race. His sire has the highest speed figure analysis (78) of any other sires of horses in this race. Also, Mikeador's dam's foal average speed figure is also highest at 74.
Number 1a coming out of post 5 with Jorge Guzman to ride is Lacy Crazy Vaz, also owned and bred by Sam Vasquez. This is a 3 year old Chndaka colt out of the Burning Sand daughter Lacy Jay. Turning in 43.6 for 3/8, a slightly faster last work than his coupled entry, Lacy Crazy Vaz also has a recorded 1/2 mile work at 56.6. With Sam's record as Owner of the Year in 2008, not a bad idea to consider his horses in your superfecta.
Number 2 Tri Spirit is wearing the white silks and coming out of the sweet post position 1. This 4 year old grey filly by Seyvilla Triumph out of the Mellon daughter Sweet Illusion has 9 lifetime starts with three 2nds and a 3rd. Her try on 3rd of July she ran 2nd by a head at Arapahoe Park, but on 12th of July she ran 8th and wasn't close. However, she was in NW2 Allowance company during that try. Tri Spirit is owned and bred by Joseph and Betty Joe Gillis, and trained by Jerry Partin who has just arrived from the meet in Colorado. Welcome Jerry!
Number 3 is Duro, owned by Lapco Arabians, a 3 year old colt by No Limite and out of MSA Zbritzka by Brusally Zbruenu. He was bred in Florida by Town & Country Farms Corp. Duro has some nice works, his last one just 3 days ago going 3/8 in 41.4. Duro is trained by Jerry Partin and has had two outs at Arapahoe Park, likes to run on the front but has dropped back to finish 3rd in both tries, both at 5 1/2 furlongs. We'll see what the altitude change can do.
Number 4, On The Line, comes into this race as the most experienced, but this will be her first start since September 2008. She's a 5 year old mare by LINE DANCER out of the ZT Ali Baba daughter Trickie Trixy. Owned by Carlos Marquez and trained by Renee Lafleur, she was bred in Florida by Darley Stud Management. Her last 5 starts were all in California, always a bridesmaid finishing 2nd each time at 5 furlongs and once by just a nose. Another 1/16 mile may be all she needs.
Number 5 is WMA Silver Sword carrying heavy weight at 120 pounds. This is a 4 year old colt by Gracious Goodness out of WMA Seabreeze by Ibn Bint Hilyuri, bred in Texas by Rita Deleon. Rita also owns and trains the colt. He worked handily August 14th for 3 furlongs turning in a time of 46 and his work on 3rd July for 4 furlongs was 55.8. This will be WMA Silver Sword's first race.
Number 6 is MY Zoom Zell, the speedy worker of the field, bred in Texas by Mandolynn Hill Farm and owned by Nancy and Ken Blewett. He's trained by JR Caldwell. MY Zoom Zell breezed 4 furlongs in 53.6 on August 19th, and worked a smokin 39 for 3/8 mile at Retama 12 days earlier. He's also the only one in this race who has recorded 5F workouts, 2 of them, at 1:10.8 and 1:10.4. MY Zoom Zell is a 3 year old gelding by Zachzell out of Southern Style by Volcano De Carrerre, and this is his first start.
Number 7 Pracious Rose is also a first time starter, she is a 6 year old mare by Ghostly Tales out of Pracious Lady by Monarch AH. She was bred in Kentucky by Roni Humphrey, and is owned by Teresa Carvalho. This mare has 3 recorded works, 44.6, 43.2, and 44.6 at 3/8 and is trained by Renee Lafleur.
Number 8 makes her racing debut also with some exceptional workout times among this field, One More Tyme EW turned in very respectable 40.8 for 3 furlongs on the 14th of August. One More Tyme EW is a 4 year old filly by Wojslaw out of Once Upona Tyme by Monarch AH. She was bred in Texas by Dan and Everetta Woods who are also the owners, and she is trained by Justice Rochabrun.
Number 9 is WMA Rhema, a first time starter owned by Delane Cunningham and trained by Jeffery Brooks. She is a 4 year old filly by Imagine That MA out of WMA Rhoda by Ibn Bint Hilyuri and was bred in Texas by Rita Deleon. Her last workout was the 14th of August going 3 furlongs handily in 46 seconds.
And Number 10 is VJ Shalimar Zan Zaim, a bay stallion by Jordjis Zan Zaim out of Araba-Taffaro by Taffaro. He was bred in Louisiana by Jonny Heflin who is also his owner, and trained by Glen Rottweiler. He carries a heavy weight of 120, and jockey Larry Taylor takes this mount on what could be a wide trip in this short race with a full field. VJ Shalimar Zan Zaim comes on the scene as a first time starter at age 7, and has turned in nice works of 40.40 for 3 and 57 for 4 furlongs. TABA sends wishes of Best of Luck to owner Johnny Heflin who is also making his debut on the Arabian racecourse!
