What the Nation is saying about the Flower Bowl...

It’s been a long, hard, and more than frustrating task to piece together the puzzle of Horse of the Year, but it seems that finally, at long last, the fog is clearing and leaders are emerging. Read More

  • Mike in SB · I thought Havre de Grace's win was the most impressive of the weekend by far, and with Flat Out winning the Gold Cup, she has to be the favorite for the Classic. Actually a lot of the Breeders Cup races are starting to look pretty good. Havre de Grace, Uncle Mo and the rest in the Classic makes it look like a better race now than it did a few months ago and the Ladies Classic looks wide open now. If the Arc Winner comes over and So You Think runs in the Classic this could be a very good Breeders Cup. · 129 days ago ·

  • DeadHeat · Mike I completely agree about the Classic. The fact that you have some definitive stars now makes the race come up much better. I mean with the list of horses i said in my blog, there are what 6 grade one winner heading for the race? Makes it look much more competitive. · 129 days ago ·

A wide trip and a yielding turf course were no obstacles for Stacelita at Belmont as the filly notched her second consecutive Grade 1 victory with a commanding win in the Flower Bowl. Read More
As expected, Stacelita easily captured the Flower Bowl.   
Aruna scratched out of Saturday's G1 Flower Bowl because of yielding ground. She will go next in Keeneland's G1 Spinster on Oct 9.   
Stacelita, a five-time Grade 1/Group 1 winner, looks to continue her stateside success in Saturday’s 1 ¼-mile Flower Bowl Invitational. In France, Stacelita won four Group 1 races, including the 2009 Prix de Diane (French Oaks). She made one start in her native country this year, finishing third in ...Read More
  • Rossington · Stacelita is absolutely a class race-mare on the turf!! In all honesty, she's been racing and beating tougher fillies and mares on the turf in France than what she's had to face thus far in America. I absolutely believe Stacelita will win the G1 Flower Bowl Stakes at Belmont this weekend, and will then very likely become favorite, or at the very least, co-favorite, for this year's BC F&M Turf!! I believe Dubawi Height's will win the G1 Yellow Ribbon Stakes and I also believe Cape Blanco will win the G1 Joe Hirsch Turf Classic. Securing his third American G1 turf stakes in as many tries, and I think a win in the Joe Hirsch will likely make him favorite for this year's BC Turf!! TJMO. · 133 days ago ·

With Ramon Dominguez aboard, Martin Schwartz’s Stacelita completed major preparations for Saturday’s Grade 1, $500,000 Flower Bowl Invitational with a 1:02.94 five-furlong breeze over soft turf Sunday morning.   “We’re very happy,” said trainer Chad Brown. “We’re on target for the Flower Bowl. ...Read More
  • medlocke · I applaud the switch in jockey's from Joe Bravo to Ramon Dominguez for Stacelita last time when she won the G1 Beverly D. Stakes at Arlington in convincing fashion. I really believe if Stacelita would've had the services of Ramon Dominguez at Monmouth for the G1 United Nations that Stacelita would've beaten Teaks North in that race, too. She got a horrible ride from Joe Bravo in that race. If Stacelita rolls through the Flower Bowl Stakes as impressively as she did the Beverly D.? You better watch out for this mare in this year's BC F&M Turf. Because she'll take a ton of beating, IMO. · 137 days ago ·

  • medlocke · Stacelita's a dynamite filly!! Top class turf mare for sure!! Mark my word's, this will be the filly to beat in this year's Breeders Cup F&M Turf. Whether Midday and Shared Account show up for the race or not? JMO. · 157 days ago ·

  • arazi · A great start to an international BC with two runners from Japan targeting the weekend in Red Desire and Espoir City. Have a feeling the Churchill Breeders' Cup will blow away anything at Santa Anita and really make the BC wonder how they ever considered SA a permanent site. · 561 days ago ·

  • medlocke · I don't know if Henry Cecil plans to bring Midday back to America to defend her Breeders Cup F&M Turf title or not in 2010? Midday's only start so far in 2010 was a 2nd place finish to 09' Epsom and Irish Oaks winner, Sariska, in the Middleton Stakes back in May. She races again on July 30th to defend her Blue Square Nassau Stakes crown at Goodwood. Also in the race is the French filly Stacelita. Who won the 09' Prix de Diane and Prix Vermille. But whether or not Midday comes back to America, Red Desire can only serve to make the F&M Turf much more competitive. She's a top shelf filly in her own right. Finishing 2nd in both the 09' Japanese 1000 Guineas and Oaks to Japan's other great filly Buena Vista. But Red Desire finally stepped out of Buena Vista's shadow in Dubai back in March. Winning the Al Maktoum Challenge Rd. 3. A race in which she defeated Dubai World Cup winner Gloria De Campeao, DWC 2nd, Lizard's Desire, DWC 3rd, Allybar, Cavalryman, and the another great Japanese race-mare, Vodka. · 560 days ago ·
