Alluring Assault, the 'Mare on Fire' as this bay filly has been called, has been declared to be put on rest after this weeks races, in preparation for the much anticipated Twilight Stakes. Nick Landing is anticipating the top turf competitors to come out for one of The Wire's top turf races.
Rumor has it that SOPS had propositioned entering one of their top turfers, Sillenia. The last time these two fillies raced in the same was at the Y11 Breeder's Cup Filly and Mare Turf, where Allure finished in an unimpressive 7th place out of eight, but things are different now. The two fillies are matched now, fairly equal and Allure isn't the same filly that faced this younger horse last year and Nick is looking to the Twilight Stakes as a good indicator of how Allure will compete with this filly as from this race out, the two fillies will be meeting more frequently as the year comes to an end. Does this comeback filly have what it takes to upset the two time BC Filly and Mare Turf winner before Allure retires at the end of this year?
Time only, will tell, but Nick and his crew are hopeful.
