CHURCHILL DOWNS Race #EIGHT
May 5, 2007
3:55 PM Eastern
(# 9) SWEET FERVOR - Four-year-old filly has really picked up her game in 2007 after having been away from the races for nearly eight months. Miss is extremely well-bred being by Seeking The Gold out of an In Reality mare. Filly showed some big talent before being sent to the sidelines. Was sent by top trainer Bill Mott directly from her maiden win into stakes events, something he doesn't do normally. Was successful in her stakes debut at Tampa, then tackled much tougher at Gulfstream and Oaklawn. She returned at Gulfstream this past January with an allowance win followed by a stakes victory at this distance on March 17. Filly she beat that day, Any Limit is a tough, talented race horse. Training well for this right here at Churchill, and the stakes win was two months removed from her allowance victory, just like this race.
(# 5) MARYFIELD - This mare is the oldest member of this cast at six-years-old. Despite her age, this mare rarely fails to run her race. She has done so at many different distances at a myriad number of racetracks. She is very reliable in her speed figures and they are competitive with the major players here. Running style is one of getting involved early on, and she has shown versatility on occasions by being able to rate a bit if the situation calls for that tactic. Top trainer in Doug O'Neill and Chavez is one-for-one on runner. Not to be overlooked is the fact she had one of her most important victories of her career right here last November, in the Very Subtle S. Like the top choice, she is one-for-one on this dirt.
