2013 Doubledogdare Stakes Race Favorites

Inglorious - Queens Plate winner and Canada's champion three year old filly and runner up for horse of the year in 2011 had four starts in 2012 - a third in the Grade 2 Bayakoa at Hollywood Park December 8, a third in the Grade 2 Dance Smartly Stakes at Woodbine way back on July 8 after a disappointing fourth in the Grade 2 Nassau and a second to fellow Marketing Mix in an Allowance race at Keeneland. Her only start of 2013 resulted in yet another OK third in the Grade 3 Suwannee Stakes at Gulfstream February 6. She has five wins, two seconds and four third place finishes in 14 career starts and enters the Doubledogdare in decent form.

Mystical Star - won the Grade 2 New York Stakes June 30 over Hit It Rich but sandwiched around that win were a couple of unflattering eighths - the Grade 2 Sheepshead Bay Stakes in May and the Grade 1 Beverly D August 18. She had a good second in the Grade 1 Juddmonte Spinster in October here and was second in the Grade 3 Long Island Handicap at Aqueduct November 10. Last time out was another OK outing - a third in the Grade 3 Hillsborough at Tampa Bay Downs March 9. She has placed in her last three starts - all graded stakes races and has to be on the radar for the Doubledogdare.
