10/21 The Athenia – Grade III
1 1/16 Mile Turf Stake Purse $200.000 Filly & Mare 3 Year Olds And Up.

1st   Snacks                    D J C Racing Stables  Cancel E

The trainer really can do no wrong at the moment and this filly who has a touch of class found a way through to run home strongly and score by just under a length. She has an electric turn of foot when ridden back but she has been finding trouble in larger fields and appreciated this smaller group today.

2nd   Woman On A Mission  Greeko Holdem               Velazquez J R

This is proving a good buy for the new trainer staying on nicely for second but having no answer for Snacks late finish. There’s a decent race on the radar for her its just a matter of finding one late in the season.

3rd   Sinuous Beauty             Mb Stables                Alvarado J

Kept on for third just a length behind she is clearly better than the claimer she was bought out of but still has to find some improvement for the big yard.

4th   Minnesotalus                The Sidley Stud                Ortiz I Jr

Up on the speed she never really saw it out ending up a tired fourth.
