Win Would Be Nice to Honor And Cherish

Honor And Cherish, third in the La Primera Del Ano Derby on April 17, will try again for her second victory in tonight’s ninth, a $13,450 allowance at 300 yards.

Trained by Paul Jones for owners David and Susan Mackie, the 3-year-old First Down Dash filly has been second or third in her last five outings, after breaking her maiden by a neck Nov. 23. She has hit the board in nine of 12. Ramon Sanchez will ride.

Jones will also send out Hi Jazzing Amanda, who was a nose behind Honor And Cherish in the La Primera. A winner once in nine races, she will be ridden by Rodrigo Aceves.

From the inside out, the field is completed by Cash Her Out, Lace And Lies, Traffic Maze, Dang Near Perfect, Darlenes Imp, Already In Love and Lani Chick. Cash Her Out and Dang Near Perfect, trained by Kelly Lewis for owner Ed Allred, will race as an entry.
