Forward Gal Stakes 2015 | Remaining Contenders

By the Moon - is coming off an eighth after starting from an unfavorable post 12 in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies which followed a nice win in the Grade 1 Frizette Stakes October 4, a good second behind Condo Commando in the Grade 1 Spinaway Stakes at Saratoga August 31 and a maiden score in her only other career start - also at Saratoga July 18.

Seduire - Jerry Hollendorfer trained filly has looked good in her seven race career - four wins and two second place finishes. She enters off a terrific gate-to-wire win by 2 1/4 lengths in the Grade 2 Santa Ynez Stakes at Santa Anita January 3 which followed a nice 5 1/2 length win as 3-5 favorite in the minor Golden Gate Debutante Stakes November 29, a second in the minor Anoakia Stakes on this track October 12 and a fifth in the Grade 1 Del Mar Debutante Stakes in August. She has three stakes wins already and is expected to be competitive again Saturday after straight terrific performances. Joel Rosario rides from post 5.

Taylor S - Dale Romans trained filly won her debut and went on to a disappointing tenth in the Grade 1 Darley Alcibiades at Keeneland in October.
