Cilla Shines In Blue Sparkler At Monmouth Sponsored by:
Cilla with Roberto Alvarado, Jr. riding won the Blue Sparkler Stakes at Monmouth Park.
Trainer Brett Brinkman s initial reaction when Saturday s Blue Sparkler Stakes at Monmouth Park in Oceanport, N.J. came off the grass? “I was happy,” he said.
His second reaction?
The realization that he still didn t have an answer about whether or not his talented 3-year-old filly Cilla will take the turf.
For now, Brinkman can live without finding out for sure if Cilla can turf after she impressed with a 2½-length victory in the $75,000 feature on the 11-race card.
