2013 Iowa Oaks Race Favorites

Fiftyshadesofhay - Bob Baffert trained filly has nine career starts - four MSW races to start her career yielded a win, a second, a third and a fourth in her debut before stepping up in the minor Blue Norther Stakes on January 1 and finishing a pedestrian eighth. She had a very nice second behind Beholder in the Grade 1 Las Virgenes Stakes March 2, won the Grade 3 Santa Ysabel by 5 3/4 lengths January 26 at the Iowa Oaks distance in her graded stakes debut with an impressive Beyer speed figure of 90 and was third in the Grade 1 Santa Anita Oaks April 6 also behind Beholder. Last time out was another terrific result - a win in the Grade 2 Black-Eyed Susan Stakes at Pimlico May 17. She has been in the mix in her last four graded stakes starts - no reason to think differently about the Iowa Oaks although this will be her first start on this track.

So Many Ways - won a Maiden Special Weight race last June 9 at Parx and followed that up with a very impressive score in the Grade 3 Schuylerville Stakes by four and a half lengths on July 20 to make it three straight wins to start her career. It took another three starts for So Many Ways to taste victory again - last time out in the Grade 3 Eight Belles Stakes at Churchill Downs May 3 after a fifth in the Grade 2 Fair Grounds Oaks and a third in the minor Primal Force Stakes at Gulfstream in March. She has four wins and a third in six career starts. Distance could be an issue for an entry that has only won at shorter distances.

Last time out was another disappointment - a seventh in the Grade 3 regret Stakes at Churchill Downs June 15 after a second in an Allowance Optional Claiming May 26.
