2013 Presque Isle Downs Masters Stakes Race Favorite Entries

Groupie Doll - reigning Eclipse Award winner for Female Sprinter and defending champion in this race placed in all nine of her 2012 starts including wins in the Grade 1 Madison Stakes and the Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Sprint but has just one start since a second place finish in the Grade 1 Cigar Mile at Aqueduct November 24 - an OK third in the Grade 3 Gardenia at Ellis Park August 10. She has been money in graded stakes races but has certainly been lightly raced the last 10 months. Still, Groupie Doll is the most dangerous entry in the field and the one that everyone has their eyes on ahead of the Masters. She is the 6-5 favorite on the morning line and breaks from post 10 Monday.

Judy the Beauty - Wesley Ward trained filly has four wins and six seconds in 10 career starts but was off for seven months before an Allowance Optional Claiming score in April at Keeneland. Her last two races have been of the graded stakes variety resulting in a pair of good seconds. Last time out was in the Grade 1 Princess Rooney Handicap behind Starship Truffles at Calder July 6 after a second in the Grade 3 Winning Colors at Churchill Downs in May. She has yet to record a graded stakes score but has finished second in all five she's entered so far. She's been knocking on the door and hopes for a breakthrough Monday. Judy the Beauty goes off as the 5-2 second choice and lines up in post 9 - right beside the overwhelming favorite Groupie Doll.
