Dead Heat in Buena Vista Stakes

The great La Terrifiant made her way to SA on Saturday for the Grade 2 Buena Vista Stakes looking to pick up her 20th career victory. She would accomplish that, but for this occasion she would have to share the spoils with another one as Painville was right alongside her at the wire, finishing in a dead heat.

La Terrifiant Back in Action for Buena Vista Stakes

The 19th running of the Buena Vista takes place on Saturday at SA, and while it did not attract a large field, it did interest one of the greats of the game, La Terrifiant. She should be the favorite for the race, but there are four others here who will be looking to steal her spotlight in this Grade 2 event.

The Alexandra Stakes Returns to Normal This Year

Last year, the Alexandra Stakes ran with only six entrants but had five fillies join the companion race at FG, the Risen Star. This is something that drew a lot of discussion at the time as fillies had significant success against males due in part to their weight allowance. This year, things are much more normal, with no fillies in the Risen Star and a full field in the Alexandra Stakes.

More Twist Claims His Withers Win

Back in November, More Twist showed up in a maiden claiming race for a $12.500 tag. He hadn’t done much in his two previous starts, and no one would have an interest in claiming him that day. More Twist would go on to win that race and has left that class far behind.
