Buena Vista Stakes – Grade II
1 Mile Turf Stake Purse $200.000 Filly & Mare 4 Year Olds And Up.

1st Heartland, trained by TwinTowersRacing
This former grade one winner wasnt inconvenienced by the soft ground today and drove home last for a half length win. Taking choice 2 from the wide draw was the right decision today and with two graded stakes wins already this year she looks set for a big season.

2nd My Lady, trained by Sheffler Stables
Tried really hard but had no answer for the late run of the winner. This was a good effort by another filly who looks set for another successful year.

3rd Taking Liberties, trained by Blushing Meadows
Ran on nicely for third but was probably the best suited by the soft ground. She looked better back on her favoured surface though and there looks like there are more wins in this ones tank.

4th Tennessee Queen, trained by Kopites
She hated the ground and just kept grinding on for fourth. She may be seen at her best with even further than this though and i would take a good look at her over a mile and a quarter or further.
