Purse 88750 Starting Purse 25000, 3yo Fillies Wt 118lbs, entry fee 15000. 25000 bonus paid to winner

A field of 5 skilled fillies head postward for the Pink Diamonds Stakes offering trainers this season added purse money (25Kc) with a 25Kc bonus to the winner. Leg 1 Bouquet Stakes victress OHMYDAYS who drew away powerfully by two lengths last week returns here looking to capture the 2nd jewel of the Triple Crown. While the Triple Crown bonus of 200K is not on the line with the short field of 5, we do still have a very nice group of fillies signed on to make this an exciting night of racing. This space attempts to sort out this talented field when you head for the windows.  Let’s meet the field.

 

#1 OHMYDAYS

Passed her first stakes try with flying colors, stalking the early pace, tipping out around the far turn and inhaling the longtime leader in the lane to draw away powerfully by two widening lengths. It was an impressive performance for this photogenic filly who notched her 7th lifetime victory. While she lacks the experience at tonight’s 10F distance as some of her opponents, she did score in her only try of her career stopping the clock in a eye-catching 2:02.94 last season. She looks poised to capture more hardware for her connections.

#2 THE HALLOWEEN TROLL

Lightly raced for her sophomore campaign she’s taking the sharp class hike in just her 4th start this season. Put away since late January when last seen wiring a small, but competitive field of Starter Allowance foes at 7F. There is some concern with her ability to get tonight’s distance as she’s failed to win past 8F in her career. What is encouraging, however, is her most recent move as a 3 YO back in February in a nice 1:49.92 showing she’s perhaps a bit more comfortable to get the extra distance. Punchers chance tonight.

#3 TAYLORCANTBESTOPPED

Was a distant 3rd last week after a fairly easy trip from the rail spot. While well beaten last week the extra distance of tonight’s contest may be just what this filly needs to move forward off that race. While her record this season has been muddied up with her recent run of sprints, the additional 2 panels may see this one return to form. With the difficult 3 post and her struggles when not on the lead, should see her attempt to make the top in here. For how she takes them we’ll soon find out.

#4 TITLE POTENTIAL

Was a belated runner-up last week rallying from last to be second best. She was stuck behind a wall of horses for much of that race, before she split them in deep stretch to outfinish others. The mile distance last week, was a bit short than her running style and talents accommodate for, but 2 additional furlongs to travel, along with her impressive 3 for 5 record at 10F may be enough to turn the tables on OHMYDAYS.

#5 TICKET TO VENUS

New shooter enters tonight looking for her first win this season on the class hike. This Trunoble Lodge trainee has been been competitive against allowance foes, but has struggled to break the first level allowance condition. While she’s facing a stiffer foes tonight, she has stretched out earlier in her career and won a 11F event against 80Kc claimers by open lengths. She has some strong route speed from her recent body of work and with nothing to lose and an inflated purse, now is a good time as any to try to steal this race. Will be tested tonight.
