RACING NOTES
- Jockey Jaime Rodriguez won a pair with Amazing Bernie ($6.80) for trainer Carlos Mancilla and Lady Zeta ($3.20) for Jamie Ness…
- Trainer Jamie Ness won twice, once with the aforementioned Lady Zeta and also with veteran Yodel E. A. Who ($4.00), ridden by Mychel Sanchez. The nine-year-old Yodel E. A. Who now has 19 career victories and nearly $750,000 banked…
- First-time starter Nanisca ($51.00) blew up the toteboard in race two, a $16,000 maiden claimer. Under jockey Alexander Crispin, Nanisca, trained by Pedro Nazario, opened a long lead and held his rivals safe, while 3-10 favorite Devilish Gal finished last. And, oh, by the way, if you’d boxed the top three selected by The Racing Biz, you hit the exacta, which returned $75.00 for a buck.
RACE 6 – OFF THE TURF
9. Fazools | Graduated on the main track last out versus special weight rivals; trainer and jock both tearing it up here |
3. Ariana Valentina | Versatile sort has run good races on dirt and turf |
6. Party | Blinkers off for first time in her career |
RACE 7
3. Bobby’s Candy | Has run well since Pino claim |
