At four years old, he exhibits his best level
When talking about dominant mares among sprinters, the turf and tapeta of Gulsftream Park, Great Venezuela (Neolithic) sounds like a reference. The filly chestnut trained by Victor Barboza Jr, has a campaign of six wins in nine starts, of which all have been between 5 and 5 1/2 furlongs.
“She is a very professional mare. And he has found a good complement in Leonel Reyes, his jockey. He races her with a lot of confidence,” says Victor Barboza, who decided to travel with the Orlyana Farm mare to Tampa Bay Downs and return her to the distance where she has shown greater consistency.
“She is a mare that does not know how to fail. In fact, two of his only three defeats occurred in the Stakes, that third in the Wait a While Stakes and his recent one where he was placed in the Sunshine Filly and Mare Turf Stakes (Black Type),” Barboza recalled about both races that were held on the grass of Gulsftream Park, over 7 1/2 Furlongs. For this afternoon, Leroidesanimaux’s granddaughter will be able to stamp her name as a classic winner, after a really important campaign, today in Lightning City Stakes, with purse 125k.

He will arrive with a ratio of 5 to 1 in the Morning Line and will have Sol Hope (Soldat), also born in Florida, and Risk Threshold (Dubawi) as serious rivals. The first comes from falling to Epona’s Hope, who later won the Ladies’ Turf Sprint Stakes, and Risk Threshold comes from being third in the Autumn Days Stakes, held in Aqueduct, New York.
