Enjoy The Moment, who ran the fastest 350 yards of the meet on Dec. 28, heads a field of five fillies and mares in tonight’s $18,000 Easy Date Handicap.

Bred, owned and trained by Patricia Visscher, Enjoy The Moment earned her fourth victory in 17 starts when winning by 2 1/4 lengths in 17.30 seconds more than two months ago. Rodrigo Aceves will ride the 5-year-old gray mare tonight in place of the injured Eddie Garcia.

Three of the four horses Enjoy The Moment will be facing are trained by Paul Jones and two of them, Bobbiesdashnfavorite and Yankee Debut, are coming off victories.
