Dance Card, who won the Belle Cherie Stakes by 7 1/2 lengths last time out, and Book Review, romping winner of the Imperial Gesture Stakes and Charles Town Oaks, are the primary contenders in Saturday's $250,000 Gazelle Stakes (gr. I) at Aqueduct, one of four prestigious graded stakes races on the card.
But while both fillies boast strong credentials, the most intriguing horse in the race is My Wandy's Girl, who won thirteen of her seventeen starts at Camarero racecourse before shipping to Aqueduct and taking the 6-1/2 furlong Pentelis Stakes by a length. She enters the Gazelle with a nine-race winning streak, and a victory would establish herself as one of the most exciting fillies in the country heading into 2013.
Jemima's Pearl, runner-up in the Remington Park Oaks last time out, and Lady Cohiba, runner-up to Book Review in the Imperial Gesture, are also expected to contend.
