go for wand stakes

[Indian Charlie]

oooh boy, a 3 horse g1 race at the spa, according to the nyra site.

ermine vs miss shop vs teammate.

maybe they need poly to get full fields there?

When was the last time you saw a full field, grade one race for older fillies and mares? Much less a grade 2 or 3.... the division just does not seem to fill.

I hope I make it that far in the Survivor Contest

With as strong as the other fields look I wouldn't spend too much time worrying about the Go For Wand. I'm guessing the racing office is working pretty hard to get a couple more into the race.

Before RTR's problem, I thought the GFW would have been a great return race for at 1 1/8 for her, especially given the 3 horse field.

Here are the nominations for the GFW with a few editorial remarks about their likelihood to run.

Ermine IN
Eyes on Eddy- Last seen in the Locust Grove on turf; allowance winner at CD on 6/9; possibility if field is short
Fiery Pursuit- Lukas horse who made the pace in Fleur de Lis, stole the Louisville BC on Oaks day; Lukas doesn't skip many dances
Ginger Punch- First Flight winner 7/8, could run if Frankel is not pointing to Honorable Miss/Ballerina
India- Pletcher been tip-toeing around minor stakes with her, she has run big at the Spa before
Indian Vale- Just ran in Del Cap 7/15, unlikely to run
Leo's Pegasus- Neil Howard allowance horse from KY
Miss Shop- IN
Mo Cuishle- Scratched from listed stakes race today at Belmont; switched to Tagg after disappointing Sixty Sails in April; unseen since then
Octave- Won the CCA Oaks yesterday
Plaid- I don't know much about her, other than that she's an Asmussen who he may have tried in Iowa last time
Rags to Riches- Well I'd say we all know what she's up to
Roshani- Pletcher filly who has been running on turf
Soul Search- Neil Howard mare who I don't know much about
Teammate- IN
Unbridled Belle- Recent Del Cap winner; not likely here
Yolanda B. Too- West Point Violette runner who I can't remember seeing for a while

Hopefully we'll get five or six.
