Carter, 19, Looking for Her Second Victory

A week after getting her first career victory, jockey Maggie Carter will try for another with Brite Dancer in tonight’s sixth race, a $2,500 claimer for thoroughbred fillies and mares at 4 1/2 furlongs.

Carter, 19, won with her eighth mount, directing The Final Answer, an Arabian, to a 10-1 upset in the fourth race March 25. Carter, who has been galloping horses since she was 14, said she had been working The Final Answer since he was a baby.

“It’s cool that we both broke our maidens at the same time,” Carter said. “When we entered the winner’s circle there were a lot of people cheering for us. That was a great feeling.”

The picks: 1. Pc Bedazzling. 2. Houston To Marilyn. 3. My Heroine. 4. Spin Vader. 5. Mr Burnt Toast. 6. Nefertiri. 7. First To Be Late. 8. Cheyennes Dasher.

Four! Cyclone Racer, Breezing Tornator and Pc Bedazzling in the first, Houston To Marilyn and Storm Lord in the second, My Heroine, Second First Shake and Try Hotmagic in the third and Spin Vader in the fourth.

Shots in the dark: Royal For Sure could improve in the sixth now that she has had a race over the track. Hawk The Cash makes his second start after a layoff for trainer Connie Hall in the seventh.

Post time: 7:15 p.m.
