Oh, boy, oh boy, oh boy! Or perhaps I should say Oh, girl. Three fillies/mares entered in stakes this coming Saturday.

PONDERING (2yo) entered in the 7 furlong $300k Spinaway Stakes (G1) on dirt at Saratoga (race# 11) on Saturday, August 31.

MILLIE GIRL entered in 1 3/8 Mile, Flower Bowl Stakes (G2) on the turf at Saratoga (race # 12) on Aug 31.

SPARKLE BLUE entered in 1 Mile, $1,500,000. Kentucky Downs Ladies Turf S. (Grade 3) at Kentucky Downs (race # 10), also on Saturday. Only at Kentucky Downs will you see a G3 for $1.5 million. But you have to really work for it because the track was originally built for steeplechasing, as I understand it, and so that oddly-shaped track has some ups and downs, literally.

HIGHWAY ROBBER placed second in the G2 FanDuel TV Kentucky Turf Cup Stakes at Kentucky Downs today. 1 1/2 miles on turf. Trailed the field most of the way and had to weave through a lot of traffic, made a good rally but could not pass the winner. Chart says half a length, more like a neck difference. And the race set a new course record. It took a lot of traffic and a course record to beat him. Good effort by him. He is now G2 placed. His record is now 10-4-2-1.

MENA won race #7 at Remington Park yesterday, September 11. His record is now 12-3-2-0. He is a full brother to CADDO RIVER. Looked to me like his right hind slipped out from under him a bit on the final turn and as a result he came in a bit toward a rival. There was no objection posted, however. Hope that slip didn't strain anything.

DRUM ROLL PLEASE is back from layoff after being on the Derby trail and getting injured in January. He seems to be a good one.
He finished 3rd in the G2 Remsen behind Dornoch and Sierra Leone last December, then won the Jerome Stakes in January .

Hoping he wins this allowance race and returns to stakes company soon. He had a bullet work 1/34 on Sept 14
