Snow Chief Stakes
1 1/8 Mile Turf Stake Purse $150.000 Open 3 Year Olds Foaled In CA.

1st =       General Principle      Nakamura Stables      Cedillo A

The gelding operation this one had in April seems to have helped him concentrate on his racing at this level. Ridden with a bit more restraint than his last start he quickened really well through the final furlong to force a dead heat win. If he keeps on improving he may pay back the confidence the trainer had him when campaigning him at a high level as a two year old.

1st =         Grayte Trois         Gdp Inc       Gutierrez Mario

Made it three wins in a row by bravely holding on after running the stalk for most of the race. Clearly improving with his racing and is still unbeaten on the grass after three poor efforts on dirt it will be interesting to see how far he can go.

3rd            Beach Xaar          Diablo Diablo        Espinoza V

Went to the lead for the third time in a row and the pattern has been consistent where he starts to run out of steam in the final furlong. He was brave again and was only beaten a half length but really did set it up for the others.

4th        Fast Foggy           Nakamura Stables         Pereira T J

Got a bit too far back early but ran on well at the end, With only six runs under his belt there looks to be more improvement in him and he could well win a black type race before long.
