Thoroughbred Club of America

TRACK BANDIT PREVIEWS

A talented field of 11 fillies and mares will go postward for the $300,000

Thoroughbred Club of America S. (G3) at Keeneland on Sunday.

BEHAVING BADLY (Pioneering) will attempt to remain unbeaten in four starts

here, annexing the Rancho Bernardo H. (G3) last out in her stakes debut. The Keeneland

surface has proven to be speed favoring lately, which should suit Behaving Badly. Coming off a 58-day

layoff for conditioner Bob Baffert, the four-year-old filly has two wins at six

furlongs and has earned triple-digit BRIS Speed figures and BRIS E2 ratings in

each of her starts. Jerry Bailey rides.

FOREST MUSIC (Unbridled's Song) comes off a disappointing outing in the

muddy Ballerina S. (G1) at Saratoga, but should favor this speed favoring

track, earning century-topping BRIS E1 and E2 ratings in her past three races. She

should like the shortened distance better, owning a 11-5-0-4 record at

three-quarters. Shaun Bridgmohan has the call.

REUNITED (Dixie Union) also exhibits front-running speed and should make a

good showing. Although making her graded stakes debut, the Neil Howard trainee has done well

in the lower ranks and is certainly capable of taking

this one. Hot jockey Robby Albarado returns to ride the three-year-old filly.

SAVORTHETIME (Gilded Time) hasn't missed the board in her past eight starts, most

recently garnering third in the Princess Rooney H. (G2) in July. Despite the

layoff, the six-year-old mare has been working well for trainer Steven Asmussen,

and Savorthetime could use her late speed to get up for part under jockey Gary

Stevens. VISION OF BEAUTY (Danzig) got out to the early lead in the Ballerina, but

tired in the slop, crossing under the wire fifth. An early speed duel could hurt this

one, but she may improve at the shorter distance. Keep in mind for the bottom of

the gimmicks.

MY TRUSTY CAT (Tale of the Cat) comes off a disappointing outing in the

Ballerina, trailing in last for the entirety of that outing and finishing at the

back in a field of seven. Returning to what should be a fast-track event, the

David Vance trainee chould bounce back to her true form. The bay mare will also

be dropping back to six furlongs here and her back class is among the best of

her rivals. MOLTO VITO (Carson City) is winless since May, but has conducted

herself well against first-class company for conditioner Dallas Stewart. The

five-year-old bay owns five wins from 12 starts at three-quarters and has a shot for the

exotics.

MISS TERRIBLE (Arg) (Numerous) is more acclimated to the turf and, although

winning four of six on the main track, she is not quite putting up the numbers

of her rivals. PUXA SACO (Dehere) has not shown she has what it takes lately to

compete here. Pass. LIZ ON POLK STREET (A.P. Indy) and PLATINUM PRINCESS (Wolf

Power) both seem to be outclassed in this one.
