Commission Handicap

Jan 5th 2024
The Commission Handicap is for older fillies and mares. The state-bred program for New Mexico racehorses. A field of 7 going 5 1/2 furlongs over the Sunland Park racetrack.
This stake at Sunland has to be as competitive on paper as possible. These fillies and mares have been competing alongside each other for some time now. I will narrow it down to my four choices.
Let’s start with #1 Spicy Blonde: Trained by First Flight she tried an open Grade 3 last out. She ran out of the money. Spicy Blonde Goes back to New Mexico Bred races where she had much success—winning two and capturing the Salazar Stakes.
#3 Toast of New York: Trained by Avenue Z. Purchased in the Auction from MB Stables for $10.000. Making the most in the transition running three great races. Winning the $100.000 Petticoat Stakes easily.
#5 Luna Miss: trained by Asgar, when trained by Asgar on this level is very hard to beat. Her Last out was a winning trip putting the N. M. Classic Oaks on her resume.
My Man of Steel Enterprises LLC longshot is #6 Opaque: Trained by Keith Austin. The only mare that has stake-winning breeding on both sides of her sire and damn. She is also ran out $324.00 making her top earner in the Stake.
I talked to trainer of #4 In Switch of grass. T-boy told me his plans to his rider “She’s been too close. We will try to bring her off the pace and make a run. T-boy also stated she’s flourishing for this race!
Great Racing to all!!!
