2013 Victory Ride Stakes Race Favorites

Kauai Katie - Impressive Todd Pletcher trained filly has won six of eight career starts including the Matron Stakes at Belmont Park September 30 and the Adirondack Stakes at Saratoga August 12 before that. She was an OK fourth in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies in November but has been on fire of late - three straight wins in 2013 include the Grade 3 Old Hat Stakes January 1, the Grade 2 Forward Gal Stakes January 26 and the minor Road Princess Stakes in gate-to-wire fashion April 21 at Aqueduct. Last time out was an uncharacteristic third after stumbling at the start in the Grade 1 Acorn Stakes behind Midnight Lucky and Close Hatches at Belmont Park May 27. Kauai Katie is a coupled entry along with...

Teen Pauline - Todd Pletcher trained filly will make just her fourth career starts. After a MSW score in her debut she finished a very respectable third in the Grade 3 Spinaway Stakes in September and then was forced to the sidelines for nine months. She returned to action June 5 to a fourth in an Allowance Optional Claiming on this track.

Fusaichiswonderful - Another Todd Pletcher trained filly had a three race win streak at Emerald Downs in the spring - all Claiming races before her stakes debut produced a very good second by a half-length to So Many Ways in the Grade 3 Eight Belles Stakes at Churchill Downs May 3. She has three wins, a second and three third place finishes in seven career starts and will be looking to build off four straight impressive performances when she takes to the track Saturday.

I'm Mom's Favorite - Anthony Dutrow trained filly won the minor Miss Preakness Stakes last time out over Lighthouse Bay May 17 at Pimlico for her second straight win and first stakes score. She has placed in all five career starts so far as well - three wins, a second and a third place finish. She has won three of four starts in 2013 and could be a threat to the favorites Saturday.
