Eblouissante, a half-sister to the 2010 Horse of the Year Zenyatta, is scheduled to make the second start of her career in Saturday's fourth race at Betfair Hollywood Park.
Trained by John Shirreffs and owned by E. N. Kronfield, Eblouissante broke her maiden in impressive fashion here at Hollywood on November 16th, rallying from next-to-last to win a 1 1/16th miles maiden special weight by over four lengths. A three-year-old daughter of Bernardini out of Vertigineux, Eblouissante is expected to be favored on Saturday and will be ridden by Corey Nakatani, who rode her in her debut.
Only four other fillies and mares have entered the 1 1/16th miles allowance optional claiming race, the best of which appears to be Toomanytomatoes, who won a one-mile allowance optional claiming race on the turf here at Hollywood on November 11th. Glowing Spirit, a stakes-placed Brazilian-bred filly, could also contend. Longshots The Only Key and Include the Cat complete the lineup.
