Sinister City Sizzles in The Soaring Softly

There was plenty of reason to like Sinister City in the Soaring Softly. He had come into the race having won five of his last six, with his most recent race snapping the streak and having all the looks of a throw out. If there was any question about him, it would be whether or not seven furlongs would be enough distance for him.

Six Start in Soaring Softly on Saturday

Taking place at BEL on Saturday will be the eighth edition of the Soaring Softly, which is a long sprint on the grass for three year old fillies. It will run as a graded stake for the sixth time, and sees a purse increase of $75.000 to its current level of $175.000. Six horses will be heading to the starting gate in hopes of being the first one to win that race’s larger purse.
