2012 Nassau Stakes Race Favorites

Inglorious - Canada's champion three year old filly and runner up for horse of the year in 2011 makes her Woodbine debut this Saturday after opening 2012 with a second to fellow Nassau entry Marketing Mix in an Allowance race at Keeneland. Inglorious`s last start on this track resulted in a third place finish in the Grade 3 Selene Stakes to close a 2011 campaign in which she won three in a row including the Woodbine Oaks and the Queen's Plate and La Lorgnette Stakes. With five wins and a third in six career starts on this track, Inglorious has to be considered the favorite.

Marketing Mix - had a disappointing fourth place finish as favorite last time out in the Grade 2 Distaff Turf Mile at Churchill Downs on May 5th to follow up a string of impressive results - an Allowance score at Keenaland a win at the Grade 2 Mrs. Revere Stakes in November at Churchill Downs, a second at the Grade 2 Queen Elizabeth II Challenge Cup in October, a win in the Grade 3 Pucker Up Stakes and a victory on this track in the Wonder Where Stakes last July. Marketing Mix is 1B in this race if Inglorious is 1A.
