2014 Charles Town Oaks Race Favorite Entries

Miss Behaviour - has been very competitive in her 10 race career - four wins, four seconds and a third place finish. She is coming off three straight runner-up finishes - the Grade 2 Prioress Stakes last time out, behind Sweet Reason in the Grade 1 Test Stakes August 2 and the Grade 3 Victory Ride Stakes June 29. This after a win in the listed Miss Preakness Stakes in May, a third in the minor Stormy Blues Stakes in April and a her only off-the-board finish - a fifth in the Grade 3 Delta Downs Princess in November. She won three straight to start her career as well - the best being the Grade 2 Matron Stakes at Belmont Park in September. Jevian Toledo gets the call aboard the 5-2 morning line favorite from post 2 Saturday as she tries to snap her streak of seconds while racing under the lights for the first time.

Size - Bill Mott trained filly has five career starts and had been impressive in all before an ugly ninth last time out in the Grade 1 Alabama Stakes at Saratoga August 16. This after three wins and a second place finish in her first four starts. She posted a win at 13-1 odds in her graded stakes debut - over Ria Antonia the Grade 3 Iowa Oaks June 28 after a second in her stakes debut - the minor Jersey Girl Stakes at Belmont Park in May and a two race win streak to start her career.
