With a new handicapper friendly layout, the Guide includes information on how the sires' progeny will do over various track surfaces, a Precocity Rating and more! Anne Peters, Pedigree Consultant for Three Chimneys Farm got a sneak peak and said "It (the Guide) looks like a pretty interesting and useful product." |

Breeders' Cup Juvenile Filly Contender Profiles - Continued |
HARLAN'S RUBY (Harlan's Holiday - Smiling Eyes, by Saint Ballado) Pedigree: Harlan's Holiday's offspring are sprinter milers and Smiling Eyes is a full sister to the G-3 stakes winning sprinter Popular. Harlan's Ruby has already won at 1 1/16 miles but may not want to go much farther. |

Surface: Harlan's Ruby is a winner over turf and placed over the Polytrack at Keeneland. She was unplaced in her only dirt attempt. |
Outlook: Harlan's Ruby was beaten by over nine lengths in her sole dirt attempt at Churchill. She was no match for Wickedly Perfect in the Alcibiades but finished second, ahead of some stakes winning fillies. Her stalking running style could help, but she's appears to be ducking the stronger Turf division. |
JORDY Y (Congrats - Debt Free, by Fly So Free) Pedigree: Congrats is the leading first crop sire and has several stakes horses. His offspring are winning over all surfaces and distances. Jordy Y is a half sister to stakes winner Cape Time and stakes placed Mississippi Hippie. Her dam is a half sister to the graded stakes winning sprinter Alke; stakes winners Debit My Account and Red and Gold. |

Surface: Jordy Y has spent her career running on Polytrack. She has a strong dirt pedigree and should do well over the surface. |
Outlook: Jordy Y tried to make up ground over the speed favoring Keeneland track in the Alcibiades in a futile effort. She was only beaten 2 lengths and finished third. Her off the pace style and experience at the race distance will help her in the Breeders' Cup Fillies. Coincidently, her connections won this race in 2006 at Churchill with Dreaming of Anna. |
R HEAT LIGHTNING (Trippi - Yellow Heat, by Gold Fever) Pedigree: R Heat Lightning's sire and damsire are sons of Forty Niner. R Heat Lightning is a full sister to stakes placed Hot Trip. Her dam won three of five starts as a sprinter. |

Surface: R Heat Lightning is successful over a fast dirt track. She hasn't encountered an off track. Trippi's offspring are average in the mud. |
Outlook: The dominant four length winner of the Spinaway Stakes, R Heat Lightning couldn't catch A Z Warrior in the Frizette, but finished up well to place second, by 1 ¾ lengths. She has the ability to sit off of the pace and could rebound in this race. |
TELL A KELLY (Tapit - Evrobi, by Tabasco Cat) Pedigree: Tapit, a son of Pulpit, gave us Breeders' Cup Juvenile Filly winner Stardom Bound, Juvenile Fillies Turf winner Larah and Alabama Stakes winner Careless Jewel. Tell a Kelly's damsire won the Preakness and Belmont Stakes. He is the damsire of Florida Derby winner Ice Box (by Pulpit) and last year's Brooklyn Handicap (G-2) winner Eldaafer (by A.P. Indy), a multiple winner at 1 ½ miles. Adding more stamina to the mix is Tell a Kelly's second damsire Alydar. Tell A Kelly's dam is a half sister to an Irish stakes placed runner. |

Surfaces: A Grade 1 winner over Polytrack, Tell A Kelly is also Grade 1 placed over Cushion Track. Her sire and damsire have dirt pedigrees, but Tell A Kelly's dam won or was in the money in half of her turf starts and none of her dirt attempts. |
Outlook: Tell A Kelly was an easy 4 ½ length winner of the Darley Debutant over Wickedly Perfect, but offered no resistance to Rigoletta in the closing stages of the Oak Leaf Stakes in her first attempt at two turns. Now that she has experience at the distance, Tell A Kelly should be fitter and could rebound in the B.C. Fillies, but the way she was passed without a fight last time out raises questions about her will to win. |
