In Lingerie all set to make winning debut in Bourbonette Oaks at Turfway Park
Although In Lingerie will be seen in a stakes race for the first time, the bookmakers are not reluctant to rate her favourite for Bourbonette Oaks, to be held at Turfway Park on Saturday, March 24, 2012.
The thee-year-old recently came onto the scene, fascinating everyone with her enormous talent. Her aim will be to do well in today’s Grade 3 event. The ultimate champion of this 1-mile meeting will walk away with a hefty cash prize worth $100,000.
Among the entries are: Original Kitten, Toxis, More Than Love, In Lingerie, Dancing Solo, Bourbonesque, Dixie Jackpot, Bourbonstreetgirl and Venetian Sonata.
In Lingerie looks in good position to bang her opponents. After showing a glimpse of her talent at Turfway in January, she moved to Todd Pletcher’s yard. Her trainer and connections are expecting her to start her stakes career on a winning note.
“She came out of there pretty slow, and wasn’t able to secure the forward position we were hoping. Considering the trip she had and the sensational filly Zo Impressive is, we were pretty happy with In Lingerie persevering and overcoming to be second,” said
Aron Wellman, president of Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners.
Todd Pletcher recently guided one of his trainees, Wait Til Dawn, to victory in the Stonewall Farm Ocala Suncoast Stakes. He is confident of delivering similar performance with In Lingerie.
In Lingerie’s stable mate, Dancing Solo, is another major player in today’s crucial battle. The filly is owned by Twin Creeks Racing Stable LLC.
The 3-year-old daughter of Giant´s Causeway is still unexposed and thus, her rivals will find it tough. Nobody should take her lightly, as she is coming into this race after a lot of hard work.
Toxis might trouble Todd’s pair. The three-year-old bay filly is owned by Dixiana Stables Inc. Her trainer Steve Margolis, has a few big titles to his name. In 2010, Steve guided Bouquet Booth to an emphatic win in the Delta Downs Princess Stakes. Original
Kitten might also do some damage.
Although there are some strong contenders in the line-up, In Lingerie looks the hot favourite. Todd Pletcher’s filly has an obvious chance of making a fine start to her stakes career.
