A $20,000 USD California Sire Stakes for the four-year-old male pacers, a Filly and Mare Open Pace and an Open Trot share the spotlight on Friday night (Feb. 2) at Cal Expo.
Rocks Image and Rockin Sage, who both proved punctual favourites in last week’s eliminations, loom the main rivals in Tuesday (Dec. 26) night’s $13,700 Donald Arnstine Pace.
Trainer Rick Bertrand sent out three winners on last week’s opening-night card at Cal Expo, but you’ll excuse him if he wasn’t here to get his picture taken.
Here’s the story. Implausible as it is true: There’s a horse, Daisy Corvette, who, after showing a lot of spunk and talent last year as a three-year-old in Alberta, couldn’t get out of her own way when sent to Ontario this past winter.
