2022 Cotillion Stakes Handicapping
A huge afternoon of racing at Park Racing in Philadelphia on Saturday features no less than 10 stakes races, with five of those graded stakes including the (G1) Cotillion.
Open to fillies age three, the Cotillion is run at 1 1/16 miles on the Parx Racing dirt course. For 2022 the race has drawn a very competitive field of nine, with several coming in off career-best performances. There are two solid favourites and lots of betting value spread throughout the field.
Odds listed here are provided by the Parx Racing track oddsmaker.
2022 Cotillion Stakes Free Pick & Handicapping: Secret Oath Race Odds: 2-1
In her last five races, all at the Grade 1 level, Secret Oath has only failed to hit the board once and that was when she ran fourth against males in the Preakness Stakes. She was second in her last two behind only superstar Nest, and so actually gets some class relief without that one running here.
She’s three-for-four at the distance, although this will be her first start at Parx. Overall she has been in the money in nine of 11 career starts, with five wins.
Somewhat surprisingly, veteran trainer D. Wayne Lukas is looking for his first Cotillion win. Luis Saez gets the call to ride.
2022 Cotillion Stakes Free Pick & Handicapping: Adare Manor Race Odds: 7-2
California-based Adare Manor was last seen running second in the (G2) Black Eyed Susan Stakes at Pimlico back in late May, and so comes into this off a four-month layoff.
Prior to that she was second by just a neck in the (G2) Santa Anita Oaks after winning the (G3) Las Virgenes Stakes, also at Santa Anita. Overall she’s been first or second in five-of-six lifetime starts and here tries for her first Grade 1 victory.
Trainer Bob Baffert won the Cotillion in 2011. Jockey Mike Smith has four previous wins.
2022 Cotillion Stakes Stakes Free Pick & Handicapping: Green Up Race Odds: 6-1
Lightly raced Green Up will be making only her sixth lifetime start and has won her previous four by a combined 20 lengths. That includes her last effort when she won the Cathryn Sophia Stakes by 3 3/4 lengths over previous graded-stakes winner Interstatedaydream.
The 109 Equibase speed figure she gained in that victory is tops in this field, and came over this same Parx dirt course. At the same time, she is stepping up to try graded-stakes company for the first time.
Trainer Todd Pletcher has two previous Cotillion wins on his resume. Jockey Irad Ortiz Jr. will be in the irons.
2022 Cotillion Stakes Free Pick & Handicapping: Shahama Race Odds: 8-1
After starting her career in the United Arab Emirates, Shahama shipped over to the US in time to run in the last May’s (G1) Kentucky Oaks where she ran sixth, but just five lengths back of winner Secret Oath.
Since then she’s run twice more, finishing second in the (G2) Mother Goose Stakes at Belmont, before winning the (G3) Monmouth Oaks at Monmouth Park. In those two races she scored back-to-back 100-plus speed figures, the only filly in the race who can make that claim.
She’s another Todd Pletcher trainee, while Flavian Prat will ride.
Here’s My 2022 Cotillion Stakes Free Pick.
This is a very evenly matched field, as indicated by the fact seven of the nine are listed at 8-1 or lower in the morning line odds, and they are coming in at the very top of their form. Four of the entries are last-out winners, two others ran second in their last start, and five scored a lifetime best speed figure in their last race.
On paper there’s a lot of early speed here, and that could bode well for Secret Oath, who does her best running coming off the pace when the leaders start to falter. Having said that, I think it’s wide-open enough to try and find some value. I like Green Up’s last-out win over the surface, and she’s one I think can sit a very good trip just behind the leaders.
I’ll use her for the win in a mild upset on top of Secret Oath.
