No grade 1 races in the U.S. this weekend, but still some nice racing action will take place. Most of the interest in the U.S. will be centered on Horse of the Year, WISE DAN and Champion Female Sprinter, GROUPIE DOLL. GROUPIE DOLL, makes her 2013 debut in the GARDENIA STAKES at Ellis Park on Saturday, a race she won at three. WISE DAN hopes to extend his winning streak to eight in a row in the FOURSTARDAVE.
SUNDAY RACING: While we didn't have any Grade 1 races in the U.S. this weekend, two overseas are kind of interesting for Sunday. First, the GROUP 1 PRIX JACQUES LE MARIOIS at one mile at Deauville has arguably one of the best star-studded fields of Group 1 winners you are ever likely to see competing against each other. MOONLIGHT CLOUD, the filly who almost beat Black Caviar last year at Royal Ascot; INTELLO, winner of the G1 Prix du Jockey Club; ELUSIVE KATE, G1 Falmouth Stakes winner; DECLARATION OF WAR (War Front), winner of G1 Queen Anne Stakes; DAWN APPROACH, winner of G1 St. James Palace; and ALJAMAAHEER, looking for his first Grade 1; these in a field of 13 on Sunday, post time 9:45 a.m. EDT.
The two year olds will shine at The Curragh in the Group 1 PHOENIX STAKES for two year old fillies and colts. Aidan O'Brien is sending 5 of the field of 10, including unbeaten in two starts, War Front colt, WAR COMMAND (USA), last seen winning the G2 Coventry Stakes at Ascot.
If you can't watch these races live, watch for the replays which are sure to be put up at TDN, RacingUK, or several other sites. In the U.S. LADY OF SHAMROCK and MY GIGI, along with TIZ FLIRTATIOUS, face off on the turf in the JOHN C. MABEE STAKES at Del Mar 8:40 p.m. EDT.
