2014 Davona Dale Stakes Race Favorite Entries

Onlyforyou - unbeaten Todd Pletcher trained filly raced in stakes company for the first time and won the Grade 2 Forward Gal Stakes by 2 3/4 lengths as 1-5 favorite just ahead of Aurelia's Belle last time out on this track January 25 after a $75K Allowance Optional Claiming score here December 15 and a MSW score by 3 1/2 lengths in her career bow in October at Aqueduct. Javier Castellano will be in the saddle trying to maintain his Gulfstream dominance on one of the two serious threats in the Davona Dale.

Stopchargingmaria - Todd Pletcher trained filly is coming off a terrific win in the Grade 2 Demoiselle Stakes at Aqueduct November 30 after an equally impressive win by 10 3/4 lengths in the Grade 3 Tempted Stakes November 3, a third in the Grade 1 Frizette and a second in the Grade 1 Spinaway and a MSW score in her debut. She has been uber-competitive in all five career starts, is the highweight in the field carrying 120 pounds and will have John Velazquez aboard from the far outside post.
