Maker's 46 Mile Stakes Race Favorites

Get Stormy - Will look to repeat at this race, and after a win in the Grade 1 Gulfstream Park Turf Handicap on February 11th he has to be considered the favorite. In 2011 Get Stormy also won the Grade 1 Churchill's Turf Classic, and finished second and third twice out of eight starts. But sandwiched between impressive results is a terribly disappointing 12th at the TVG Breeders' Cup Mile in November. Get Stormy loves this track however - in addition to winning the Maker's Mark Mile here last year, he won the Grade 3 Bryan Station Stakes and finished second in the Grade 1 Shadwell Turf Mile Stakes.

Turallure - has two first place finishes and a second in his last three starts - a win over Get Stormy in the Grade 2 Bernard Baruch Handicap in August at Saratoga followed by an impressive win at the Grade 1 Ricoh Woodbine Mile Stakes in September and then a second at the Grade 1 Breeders' Cup Mile at Churchill Downs in November. Turallure finished eighth in this race last year but is a late bloomer and is racing very well at present.
