2015 Eatontown Stakes Race Favorite Entries

Kenzdargent 4-1 - French bred Chad Brown trained filly enters off a good win on this very track - by 3 3/4 lengths at this distance in the listed Miss Liberty Stakes May 25 which followed a sixth in the minor Pebbles Stakes at Belmont and two Allowance Optional Claiming scores in her only other North American starts. She had just one win, seven seconds and a third place finish in 12 starts at home but has looked very good states-side however having won three of her four starts here. Kenzdargent looks to continue that roll into graded stakes action when she leaves from post 5 as the morning line favorite with an as-yet-to-be-determined jockey and as the likely one to catch.

Stellar Path 7-2 - Christophe Clement trained French bred filly had five wins, three seconds and a third place finish in 13 career starts at home including a pair of stakes - the best being the Group 3 Prix des Reservoirs in October, 2013. She made her debut in North America April 17 and promptly won the minor Plenty of Grade Stakes at Aqueduct and followed that with a fourth after tiring as favorite in her graded stakes debut- the Grade 3 Nassau Stakes at Woodbine May 23. Stellar Path has two wins and a second place finish in her last five starts but has failed to place in two of her last three overall. Joe Bravo will be in charge looking for a little consistency - from gate 6 Saturday.
