Pin Oak Valley View Stakes (Div. 1) at Keeneland

Las Vegas, NV - The Grade 3 Pin Oak Valley View Stakes (Div. 1) is on tap for this Friday, October 19 from Keeneland in Lexington Kentucky. Three year old fillies will be after their share of the $125,000 purse when they go 1 1/16 miles on Keeneland's turf track.

Division 1 has attracted 12 fillies for race 7 on Keeneland's Friday card. Post time is 4:17. Here is a breakdown of the 12 entries into the first division and what should transpire Friday.

2012 Pin Oak Valley View Stakes (Div. 1) Race Favorites

Colonial Flag - Mike Matz trained filly finished a very good second by one length in the Grade 3 Regret Stakes at Churchill Downs on June 16 to follow a pair of wins - an Allowance Optional Claiming at Belmont and a Maiden Special Weight at Keeneland. She finished a disappointing eighth July 14 in the Grade 1 American Oaks but bounced back last time out with an impressive win in the Grade 3 Ontario Colleen. Colonial Flag has six career starts with three wins and a second but her win last time out makes her a favorite Friday.

Miss Cato - made her North American debut with a respectable fourth in the Grade 1 American Oaks after four wins, two seconds and a third place finish in her seven starts in Europe. Her last two starts have yielded two seconds - an Allowance two back and at the Grade 3 Pucker Up Stakes at Arlington Park September 15.
