Quills Picks Winners – Monday 11/9 – Finger Lakes Race 7

I admit that Finger Lakes has not come up much this year as it did last year, but today, the spotlight will be there for our race of the day. The featured race this afternoon is race seven of a nine-race card as two-year-old fillies will go six furlongs in the Shesastonecoldfox Stakes. Eight juvenile fillies are entered in today’s race.

Finger Lakes Race 7 – Shesastonecoldfox Stakes

Favored in our featured race today is the 8 My Bestie (5/2 morning line). She raced near the end of September here at Finger Lakes and took a field of maidens gate to wire to get her first career win. She draws the outside and has the speed to take this field gate to wire again.

Challenging her on the front end is the 6 Cozzy Trickstress (4/1 ML). She went gate to wire as well, but her race was at today’s distance. She takes a logical next step here, but seems like she wasn’t wrapped up in the stretch like the favorite was with a similar blowout win.

The 5 Redzone Gal (7/2 ML) broke her maiden here in mid-September here at Finger Lakes sitting off the pace and making a big four-wide move. She will have a potential speed duel to close into here today.

The 4 Good Vintage (5/1 ML) faced tougher maiden foes at Belmont a couple of weeks ago but finished off the board. Though she faces winners here, it would not surprise me if she upsets that field while going on the road here to Finger Lakes.

Joe’s Pick

I think we get the speed duel here today. This will set up nicely for Redzone Gal who I think can make that wide move like she did last time out and get up to win this juvenile stakes race.

I’m calling this race 5-8-4-6 and my play is $20 to win on the 5. Best of luck and I’ll see you in the winner’s circle!
