RACE 12  FE   Rainbow Connection Stakes
$125.000                               3yo&Up F&M      ON-Bred       5f     Turf

We get a handful of ON-bred female going to the FE turf course, as we take a look at the field for the 2009 running of the Rainbow Connection Stakes, where they will be sprinting five furlongs for $125.000.  I'm looking for a repeat performance from the Samuel Memorial Stakes, back in mid-July - on that afternoon, Team 7 Illusions' Badge of Shame and Fescue Rescue chased each other around this turf course, with Badge Of Shame just getting up late, as the couple ran 1-2.  There's a good chance of a repeat, here in this one, and the only change I could see is if the runner-up were to turn the tables.  Either way, I'll stick with the entry and look for this conditioner to take the big cash, yet again.
Here's the Field -


  Twice The Joy   nice run at WO last out while taking the ONT Damsel, also on the grass and also against ON-bred girls.  She came from out-of-it that day, where she's usually a bit more towards the front - and will need to be closer today, I believe.  She has a big chance here.

  Black Lotus   three wins this season but everything was back in the spring, and it's been a struggle when facing this type of competition.  She certainly knows her way around a turf course, but she's been looking at a lot of backsides, of late.

  Badge Of Shame   nice win right here last out, going today's distance and facing similar.  They keep Beckon up, so they were happy with the ride, happy with the outcome and seem to be happy to be right back after it.  She should certainly be around when they hand out checks.

  Engrave   I'm just not sure what's going on with her, other than she just may be cut out as more of a claiming horse.  She looked good winning back-to-back races, and was taken for $7.500, then returned to beat one horse while facing starter-Alw types.  She's hard to like in this bunch.

  Fescue Rescue   nailed on the wire by her stable-mate Badge Of Shame after setting the pace throughout in that ON-bred stakes.  Looks like they are adding blinkers for this one, trying to keep her head in the game.  This is only her sixth start, so she's certainly capable of improvement.
