(# 6) UPTOTHECHALLENGE - Weak field on view in this seven-furlong claimer for fillies and mares three and up that have never won three races. No straight three-year-olds are entered, so essentially what you have is a group of under achievers. Top selection is in racing shape, appears to fit at this claiming price after failures in allowances earlier in the year. Ran a good second, two back in first try at this condition over the inner and then a third place finish against non conditioned foes at a mile on the main track. She has enough gate speed to not get buried early and her best races are when she is allowed to settle and make a run. Her trainer, Hall of Famer Frank "Poncho" Martin, is enjoying a bit of a resurgence this year.

The Plays: $15 to win and place on #6.
Total Wager = $30.00.
