2016 Delta Downs Princess Stakes Entries at Delta Downs

Golden Mischief 7-2 - has six career starts for trainer Steve Asmussen with three wins and a runner-up finish. She makes her graded stakes debut Saturday on a nice three race win streak - the minor $100,000 My Trusty Cat Stakes last time out on this track October 21, an Allowance Optional Claiming by 5 3/4 lengths at Churchill Downs September 22 and an eight length maiden score at Ellis Park in August. Golden Mischief arrives with a ton of confidence and should be a factor from the rail. Gerard Melancon has been tabbed to ride the tepid morning line favorite.

Caroline Test 4-1 - has placed three of four career starts for trainer Ben Colebrook - one win and two runner-up finishes. Last time out was her only off-the-board finish - a fourth in the G1 Darley Alcibiades Stakes at Keeneland October 7. Before that was an OK second in the minor Exacta Systems Juvenile Fillies Stakes at Kentucky Downs September 3 after another runner-up finish in the minor Ellis Park Juvenile Stakes August 6 and a win at first asking July 15. Caroline Test has been competitive every time out and has been knocking on the door of her first stakes score. Jockey Julien Leparoux will try to accomplish that goal on the second betting choice from post 3 Saturday.
