7/15/12 SAC Race 6 - Key Race

Race 6 at Sacramento on July 15 has gained key race status; as the Show horse, Lareynadelabahia, came back to win Race 7 at Santa Rosa on August 4; while fourth place finisher Mahalo Princess was first under the wire in the 5th race at Santa Rosa Friday.  

Maggie's Gold and Regal Colony have already come back from the key race, finishing fourth and ninth, respectively, in their next outings.  Sing a Tale, sixth in the key race, has yet to race again.  More importantly, the Exacta in the key race, Alwaysincontention and Mazama Sunrise, have yet to come back; though Mazama Sunrise is entered in today's sixth race at Santa Rosa.

What makes this key race intriguing is that Alwaysincontention and Mazama Sunrise were both making their racing debut when they finished one-two on July 15.  As the other two horses in the Superfecta have now come back to win, it seems fair to presume that the pair that made up the Quinella are above average for the class.  It will be interesting to see if their future results bear that out.

Peace and Love,

Jimbo
