2014 Honey Fox Stakes Race Favorite Entries

Centre Court - defending champion in this race was last seen running eighth in the Grade 2 Ballston Spa Stakes at Saratoga in August after which she was forced into a seven month layoff. She has five graded stakes wins but had a disappointing fifth in the Grade 1 Diana Stakes behind Laughing July 27 after a fourth in the Just a Game Stakes after getting caught in traffic June 8 - both results before the Ballston Spa. Before her recent three race slump was a three race win streak - the Grade 1 Jenny Wiley April 13, the 2013 Honey Fox at Gulfstream March 16 and the Grade 2 Mrs. Revere Stakes at Churchill Downs four months earlier. She has six wins and four seconds in 14 career starts but saddles up for the first time since August - looking to get back to the form that saw her win three straight at this time last year. Julien Leparoux who rode her to victory in last year's Honey Fox will be aboard from gate 6.

Parranda - won the Millions Filly and Mare Turf Preview Stakes here November 9 and also won the Florida Sunshine Millions Filly and Mare Turf Stakes January 18. Last time out was yet another win in the Grade 3 Suwannee River Stakes on this track February 8 - it's safe to say that she is in superb form! She also had a win in the Our Dear Peggy Stakes also on this track in September. Her lone poor result the last six months was an OK fourth in the Grade 3 My Charmer at Calder December 7. Parranda has won four of her last five starts and has four straight wins on this track ahead of this weekend. She will have Elvis Trujillo in the saddle from post 5.

Tapicat - legendary Bill Mott sends out Tapicat who has four wins, a second and three third place finishes in 10 career starts. Tapicat won three in a row last year including the Grade 3 Florida Oaks at Tampa Bay Downs way back on February 2, a one mile Allowance Optional Claiming score by 5 1/4 January 9 at Gulfstream and a MSW score before that. She won the minor Voodoo Dancer Stakes at Gulfstream January 1 to start 2014 after a disappointing fifth in the Grade 2 Mrs. Revere Stakes in November, a second in the listed Pebbles Stakes in October and another fifth in the Grade 2 Lake Placid Stakes in August. Last time out was an OK third in the Grade 2 Buena Vista Stakes at Santa Anita February 17. Tapicat has been competitive in almost every race she has entered but has just one graded stakes score to her credit. She is 4-for-4 on Gulfstream turf however. John Velazquez gets the call from post 7.

Kitten's Point - H. Graham Motion trained filly has hit the board in six of her seven career starts - the only time she didn't was a twelfth in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies in 2012. A win on this track last March in the Grade 3 Herecomesthebride Stakes was her career highlight. She has just two starts since - a third in the Grade 1 Ashand Stakes was followed by a 10 month layoff and an Allowance Optional Claiming score last time out here February 8. She has won two of three starts on this track and will have regular rider Edgar Prado aboard from the far outside post.
