2015 Great Lady M. Stakes Race Favorite Entries

Warren's Veneda - terrific Craig Lewis trained mare has been one of the better horses on the planet the last seven or so months but hasn't won in her last two starts overall. She was second to Beholder last time out in the Grade 2 Adoration Stakes June 13 followed a disappointing third as 1-10 favorite in the Grade 1 Vanity Stakes May 9. Before that was an impressive three race win streak - by 7 1/4 lengths with a 100 Beyer Speed Figure in the Grade 1 Santa Margarita Stakes March 14, by 3 3/4 lengths in the Grade 2 Santa Maria Stakes February 14 and a nice win by 5 1/2 lengths in the minor Paseana Stakes January 11. Before those scores was a good second behind Tiz Midnight in the Grade 2 Bayakoa Stakes here in December and a third in the minor Betty Grable Stakes in November. Warren's Veneda has placed in her last seven starts overall (all stakes) and tries to snap a two-race losing streak in his shortest race since October from post 7 with Joe Talamo in the irons.

Sunday Rules - Phil D'Amato trained filly has five career starts and five wins by a combined 27 1/4 lengths - all at this distance or shorter. She enters on the heels of a good win in her stakes debut - the minor Spring Fever Stakes as 3-10 favorite at Santa Anita May 23 after consecutive Allowance Optional Claiming scores and a win in the minor Generous Portion Stakes in 2013. Sunday Rules makes just her third start in a year Saturday having not been touched so far in her career. Tyler Baze will be in the reins trying to keep the perfect career record intact - from post 5.
