FT. WASHINGTON, MD – The Maryland Standardbred Race Fund returns to Rosecroft on Saturday evening with two $16,697 divisions for three-year-old pacing fillies, each showcasing a full field of nine starters.

Physical Beauty, a daughter of Shotgun Scott, will start from post position six for lessees Joe and Joann Thomson and Kathleen Stafford. Finishing second in the Maryland Sire Stakes final with a final time of 1:53.4, Physical Beauty has yet to post a win in 2005. Trained by Ben Stafford, the filly has earned over $15,000 this year and has a lifetime mark of 1:58.3 set as a two-year-old.

Another to consider is Vegas Style, a Cam’s Card Shark filly who recently finished third in a Reynolds Stake division at Pocono Downs. She will make her first start at Rosecroft with this race for the White Birch Farm of New Jersey. Vegas Style holds a lifetime record of 1:55.1, and has earned in excess of $67,000 this year.

Master of All Men (Donnie Russell), Badlands Cowgirl (Eddie Davis), Badlands Belle (Brad Hanners), Rainy Day Belle (John Wagner), French Muffler (Wade Ross), Triple Fantasy (Ron Walters) and Western Spice (Vic Kirby) complete the field.

The second division brings the extremely sharp Outlawed Beauty to the front of the field. Leased by Joe and Joann Thomson, the JK Outlaw filly has a line of 6-1-0 from eight starts this year and a lifetime record of 1:53.3, earned in the second leg of the Maryland Sire Stakes. Trainer Manley Brown, Jr. has named John Wagner to drive and the pair will start from post position three.

Buckleup Baby, a daughter of Badlands Hanover trained by Steve Leblanc, finished second by a neck on July 9 in the MDSF. Starting from post position seven in front of reinsman Brad Hanners, Buckleup Baby has over $76,000 in lifetime earnings carded.

Badlands Honey, Jackie’s Shuffle (Jim King, Jr.), Show Time, Glowing Beach (Sean Bier), I’m Beth (Corey Braden), Realistic Ability (Chris Offutt) and Escape Exit round out the fillies.

Post time for Rosecroft’s 16-race card is set for 7:20 p.m. on Saturday.
