Saturday’s $75,000 Pike Place Dancer could be a springboard to bigger things for the six 2-year-old fillies entered in the one-mile turf race at Golden Gate Fields. Named for the filly who won the California Derby on turf in 1996 and then the Kentucky Oaks, the race often attracts talented runners who have already established their credentials. There could well be plenty of talent in this year’s field, but it hasn’t truly fully blossomed yet. Trainer Jacqui Navarre has one of those fillies in Code Ribbon, a daughter of Desert Code who will be making her turf, stakes, and route debuts in the race. “She’s tough,” said Navarre of her filly, who is the only multiple winner in the field as well as the richest with $58,052 in earnings after two wins, a second, and a third in four starts. :: Bet the races with confidence on DRF Bets.

Navarre says Code Ribbon was something of a speed freak when she first started to work, but Navarre backed off for a while, and jockey Frank Alvarado taught her to relax. Alvarado, who has ridden her in all four starts, serves as as assistant to Navarre. “She’s a tiny filly but has a huge stride,” said Navarre, who is not concerned about the surface switch or additional distance. Her sire won multiple graded stakes on turf, including the Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint, and her dam, Jumanah, won races in each of the five years she raced. She won 10 races and earned $122,537, much of that on turf. Code Ribbon drew the rail and should be able to get a ground-saving stalking trip under Alvarado, who opted to ride her instead of Sen Sen, whom he had riden in all three of her starts. The field includes only one Southern California-based rival, Wishing On a Star, who has two turf starts at a mile and is the only filly in the field to have raced on grass. The Michael McCarthy trainee showed big improvement in her second start, running third. The Ed Moger Jr.-trained Irish Wahine is the lone entrant with stakes experience. After winning her debut at Golden Gate Fields, she ran fourth in Del Mar’s CTBA Stakes and then was last in the Generous Portion at Del Mar. She will be making her route and turf debuts. Sen Sen, who won her maiden in her third and most recent start for trainer Steve Specht, is also making her turf, route, and stakes debut. The Felix Rondon-trained Vaping Angel won her maiden by a head in her lone start at a mile but trailed Code Ribbon by 4 1/2 lengths in her debut against winners in a sprint at Fresno. Jessebear, fourth in her lone start, rounds out the field. Her dam was a stakes winner and had multiple stakes placings on turf.
