It took a Kentucky Oaks winner to prevent Super Quick from notching a second straight breakthrough victory. Shedaresthedevil, the 2020 Oaks winner, proved best in the final furlong of the Fleur de Lis at Churchill Downs last month, keeping Super Quick from back-to-back graded wins. The $125,000 Groupie Doll on Saturday at Ellis Park marks the first start for Super Quick since she settled for second in the July 2 Fleur de Lis, a Grade 2 race that followed a resounding triumph in the Grade 3 Allaire duPont at Pimlico. Super Quick, bred and owned by the estate of Marylou Whitney, earned an eyebrow-raising 105 Beyer Speed Figure in that 14-length romp on Preakness eve. “She’s been doing very well since the Fleur de Lis,” trainer Norm Casse said Friday. “As for this race, we were just looking for something a little easier before we go back in against the big fillies in the fall.” :: Bet the races with a $200 First Deposit Match and FREE Formulator PPs! Join DRF Bets. Joe Talamo has a return call on Super Quick, the 5-2 morning-line favorite in a field of 11 fillies and mares. They’ll break from post 2, with Talamo likely being asked to deal with several other rivals with early speed, those being Graysonsmacho Gal, Li’l Tootsie, and Recoded. Assuming Talamo can get that done without his mount expending too much effort, Super Quick should be able to emerge best in what otherwise looks like an evenly matched group. Jilted Bride (post 5, Brian Hernandez Jr.) and Li’l Tootsie (post 8, Edgar Morales), both in off minor stakes wins, are among the top candidates for a mild upset, while Four Graces (post 1, Julien Leparoux) has a touch of class that also makes her viable. The Groupie Doll, which was known for 33 years as the Gardenia Stakes until being renamed in 2015 to honor the female sprint champion of 2012-13, leads up to the featured finale, the Ellis Park Derby, as the eighth of nine races. Both will be run out of the “elbow” mile chute on the clubhouse turn. They’re the last legs in an all-stakes pick five (races 5-9), with the other three stakes preceding the Groupie Doll. Here’s a quick rundown of those: Audubon Oaks (race 7) Last Leaf (post 5, Rafael Bejarano) ships up from Florida as the 2-1 program choice in the $100,000 Audubon Oaks, a seven-furlong race that drew 10 3-year-old fillies. Last Leaf has won three Gulfstream stakes within the last five months – the Melody of Colors, Game Face, and Azalea – whereas only one other starter, Optionality, can claim at least one previous stakes win. :: DRF Bets members get FREE DRF Past Performances - Formulator or Classic.

Beyond those two, there’s always Brad Cox to consider, and the reigning Eclipse champion trainer is represented here by Patna (post 8, Talamo), who figures to attract her share of tote action, assuming a last-out fifth-place finish in the Indiana Oaks is forgivable. Before that July 9 defeat, the Juddmonte homebred looked sharp in winning a Keeneland maiden race and a Churchill allowance. Ellis Debutante (race 6) A remarkable 16 2-year-old fillies crowded the entry box for the $125,000 Ellis Debutante, with only as many as 12 being allowed to start in the seven-furlong race. Outside draws from the “main body” would seem to sport the strongest credentials, those being Empire of My Own, Justa Warrior, and the uncoupled Tom Amoss duo of Kiss Me On Oconee and Holiday Decision. Empire of My Own (post 9, Leparoux) earned a field-best 73 Beyer in winning a June maiden race at Churchill before running fourth in the closing-day Debutante for Steve Asmussen. Justa Warrior (post 12, Reylu Gutierrez) has contributed to an outstanding summer for John Ortiz as one of his eight winners to start the meet. Ellis Juvenile (race 5) Curly Jack has returned from Saratoga for Amoss to assume a lukewarm favorite’s role in the $125,000 Ellis Juvenile, which kicks off the pick five with a field of just six 2-year-olds. Curly Jack (post 2, Edgar Morales) was one of a handful of first-out juvenile winners at the Churchill spring meet for Amoss prior to finishing fifth in the Sanford on July 30 at Saratoga. His chief threat, Top Recruit (post 6, Gerardo Corrales), also was a debut winner at Churchill before tasting his first defeat in stakes company as a distant third in the Prairie Gold Juvenile behind the Iowa wunderkind, Tyler’s Tribe.
