We had an upset in Saturday’s Lightning City Stakes as Rampage Stable’s Sister Dearest, second longest shot on the board at 11/1,  took the five furlong sprint in a sharp final time of :56.30, going under the wire in front by a length.  La Terrifiant closed well to take the place, with slight post-time favorite Z Laffy One a neck back in third.  Hollywood Do over was fourth.  That time was a new stakes record.     

Sister Dearest is a 4yo bay filly by Commercial Sis – Lonely Lady, by Condottieri, and she was bred by her owner in Cal.  This was her fifth win from thirteen lifetime starts and she is now two-for-two this season.  She shows earnings of $253.360.

Sister Dearest broke alertly tracked the early pace, up to take over into the lane held clear won driving.  La Terrifiant broke in hand off of the pace, steady late gain to take the place.  Z Laffy One slowest from the gate, closed well while no threat to the winner.  Hollywood Do Over raced evenly.  Aggravated Chick forced the issue to the furlong marker, tied.  Perfection Only away fastest of all, set the early fractions, headed, stopped.
