New Year off to a flyer!
The Stidham stable fires three shots over the bow at the Pan Zareta Stakes at Fair Grounds today, and he’s headed into action on the back of a mega-week of success!
On Thursday, the three-year-old Streetlady maintained her blot-free record with a fine win under Joe Bravo at Fair Grounds. DARRS Inc.’s Street Boss filly will surely step up into stake-race company in the near future, and she looks very exciting indeed.
Yesterday, The Stidham stable enjoyed an across-the-card double. Stallionaire Enterprises’ Supreme Aura was another to keep his perfect resume intact when making it two-from-two at Fair Grounds under (guess who), Joe Bravo. And he won in the style of a young horse going places.
The Dare to Dream stable enjoyed a nice winner over at Tampa Bay Downs, when Memory Bank remembered where the winning post was just in time under jockey Brian Pedroza to clinch the race by a nose.
And here’s to the weekend, with Stidham pointing Rapid Rhythm, One Last Shot, and Elandess at the Pan Zareta Stakes – a $50,000 5 1/2 furlong turf sprint at Fair Grounds. The jockeys are Shaun Bridgmohan, Joe Bravo and Jack Gilligan respectively. Rapid Rhythm is the more favored of the bunch, and is a 7-2 shot on the Morning Line.
