Dominguez Memorial Handicap
1 1/16 Mile Dirt Stake Purse $100.00 Open 4 Year Olds And Up Foaled In NM.

1st Essential Blazin D Tohill K S

This five-year-old may not have had the fastest works in the race but what he has found recently is a consistency in running and in this race the perfect position on today’s race engine. Breaking into third behind the leader he just had to wait for that one to weaken in order to pick him off and that’s exactly what happened. He won well today and is clearly on the improve.

2nd Don Dada Night Rider Stables Purcell K

I thought perhaps that his speed had built and unassailable lead, but you could see the moment his stamina fell apart and the last furlong was very tough for him. He was brave enough to hang on for second which is his best ever run in a route to date.

3rd Dragon The Line Threshold Fuentes L A

It is pretty hard to close on this new engine and though he made ground all the way to the line he never looked like catching the winner who got first run as the leader weakened.

4th Roswell Flash High Voltage Fuentes M T Jr

An early second place seems to be the kiss of death on this new engine but i don’t think that was the only thing that stopped him winning today as he just seems to be a little bit better in a true run sprint than these longer races.
