Would it be Saturday racing without a DH?  nahhhh… but let’s focus on the positives, and there were a bunch of those in Saturday’s Krantz Memorial Stakes.  We handed out the exacta, as cold as you’d want your cold-snacks, and the bigger end of the DH trifecta… not bad.  In even better news, Sim Speed Stable nailed down their second stakes win in a short but successful career as a conditioner here at HRP as Gazing Angie, dismissed at 18/1 odds, secured her second stakes score since this outfit put the halter on her.  The bay filly covered the mile and a sixteenth in 1:45.48 on the soft FG sod.  It was a head back to Saddle Up in second, as that one had the lead in the lane but could not hold off the eventual winner.  A long gap of six back to Cracked Actress and Boutique in a dead heat for third.  Twenty-one lengths covered the field.
