Two 4-Year-Olds Put Modest Streaks on Line
Two horses with two-race winning streaks will get together in tonight’s eighth, a $9,325 starter allowance at 350 yards.
A Lady With Rhythm, a 4-year-old Red Hot Rhythm filly, and Willie Awesome, a 4-year-old Willie Wanta Dash gelding, head a field of seven on a night when four of the races feature thoroughbreds and Arabians.
A Lady With Rhythm hasn’t been out since she won by 1 3/4 lengths Sept. 21.
That followed a one-length victory over $5,000 claimers Aug. 24. She will break from the rail under jockey Rodrigo Aceves.
Willie Awesome has more current form.
He won twice in December and will be seeking his fifth lifetime victory. Hector Cuevas has the mount.
The picks: 1. Legal Thief. 2. Tw Sheza Crackerjack. 3. Rich In Dallas. 4. One For The Ladies. 5. Great Romancer. 6. Foot Loose Too. 7. Rail Skimmer. 8. Willie Awesome. 9. The Money Train.
Four! Legal Thief and Star Of Stage in the first, Tw Sheza Crackerjack, Hold Em Or Deal and High Stakes Trip in the second, Rich In Dallas in the third and One For The Ladies, Chamon and Lass Special in the fourth.
Shots in the dark: Classy Be Gone debuts against a soft bunch in the fifth. City Club cuts back in distance in the seventh.
