NM Classic Cup Sprint
6 Furlongs Dirt Stake Purse $170.000 Open 3 Year Olds And Up Foaled In NM.

1st Five Ghosts, trained by Drabfantasy
Whether the stable set one of their horses as a rabbit to set the pace for this one or whether the outside speed push took care of that we will probably never know but things worked out perfectly for this unbeaten three year old. Trailing the small field but never far off the pace he picked them up well and won by just under a length. I doubted his previous wins but he did it well today and is clearly a progressive sort.

2nd Masterlicious, trained by Night Rider Stables
Tried hard but was no match for the winner. clearly much improved from his days as a five dollar claimer he will find it tough to win in open company but if kept to these soft statebred races could get a win.

3rd Broomsticks Force, trained by Drabfantasy
Stalked the lead but had no answers for the two that travelled just behind him. Keeping on OK for third this looks about his mark at the moment.

4th Old Broomstick Dance, trained by Drabfantasy
Whether it was the outside speed push or something else he went to the front and set it all up for those behind.
