Jones Is Closing In on Schvaneveldt’s Mark

Trainer Paul Jones is only about $25,000 behind Blane Schvaneveldt’s record of $3,531,572 in single-season earnings, and he has starters in three of the eight races tonight.

In the second, an $8,000 claimer for 2-year-old fillies at 300 yards, Jones will send out Invisible Queen, the likely favorite, and Follow the Cash. Then he’ll start Hugol and Feet of Flames in the seventh and the maiden Smokumwithouteffort in the eighth.

Invisible Queen will be trying for her second consecutive win. She beat $5,000 claimers on Oct. 12 as the 9-5 choice. Ramon Sanchez keeps the mount.

Sanchez will also ride Feet of Flames as the 2-year-old Corona Cartel filly tries for her second win.

The picks: 1. Ghostly Moon. 2. Invisible Queen. 3. Ethel N Dave. 4. Primitive Star. 5. Hrh American Pie. 6. Primo Figlio. 7. Feet of Flames. 8. Jazz N Dash.

Four! Mosh Pit and Ghostly Moon in the first, Invisible Queen in the second, Riggin Lady, Ethel N Dave and Davene in the third and B B Zell, Primitive Star and Chieftan in the fourth.

Shots in the dark: Carotenes Form is reunited with Badilla in the fifth. Irish Bag could improve in the seventh now that he has had a race over the track.

Post time: 7:15 p.m.
