The Ladies Handicap
1 1/8 Mile Dirt Stake Purse $150.000 Filly & Mare 4 Year Olds And Up.

1st Oprah D J C Racing Stables Spencer J P

Ran pretty much the perfect race here letting the leaders do their thing before picking them up in hand and racing away for an impressive two length win. The key for this trip was that little bit of restraint and she did it well enough to suggest she has improved from three to four.

2nd Ruthian TwinTowersRacing Franco M

Went to the front as expected and in the end the weight told which was also as expected. Weight in handicaps at HRP is far more restricting than it can be in real life and those 2 Lbs she had to give away seemed like an anchor as she was brushed aside by the winner. Another consistent effort though.

3rd Sagely Diablo Diablo Silvera Ru

Closed in nicely but could not quicken with the winner down the stretch and ended up a solid third.

4th Have One On Me Nakamura Stables Lezcano J

Sat on the leader from the off but found very little when called upon and was a little disappointing in the end.
