The “Just Eat It Invitational” will highlight Millennium Gaming’s seven-race card at the Clinton E. Phipps Horse Racing Park on Sunday January 29, 2012. Five of the top mares from the U.S. and British Virgin Islands are set to do battle in the sixth race on the card for a purse of $9,500 over a distance of one mile.

And they’re off with an even break at the races.

Leggy Blonde, Whoshotthesheriff, and Destiny’s Arrival will travel to St. Thomas to represent the big island of St. Croix, with Glorious Memory representing the B.V.I., and Moments Away carrying the local fans on her back.

Leggy Blonde had been the top mare for most of last year, but was shocked by Whoshotthesheriff in the featured fillies and mare Christmas race on St. Croix last December.

Destiny’s Arrival is a speedster, who also had an upset victory over Leggy Blonde. That victory, however, was avenged by the latter.

Glorious Memory came to Tortola from Puerto Rico, but according to Equibase Company, a thoroughbred racing information website, she did not win outside of the Virgin Islands since breaking her maidenhood in a $12,500 claiming race at Tampa Bay Downs, Florida, on February 26, 2010. She is, however, a lightly raced five-year-old, who should figure prominently in any race at this level.

Moments Away, the local representative, is shown to have won three out of her last five races stateside. She won her last race at Tampa Bay Downs, a $6,250.00 purse. This race class should be just about right for her, and she is expected to defend her track very well.
