Eight races are promised this afternoon at Presque Isle Downs, a racetrack located in Erie, Pennsylvania. The main event will be the Satin And Lace Stakes (6 furlongs, $80,000), with Marissa’s Lady (Violence) being the favorite. With a campaign of six wins in 10 starts and almost half a million dollars in prize money, the multiple stakes winner clung perfectly to the Presque Polytrack, with a solid victory in an Allowance over 6 furlongs. “That time, I rode her and confirmed that she is a good mare. She bested Jill Jitterbug, who I recently to win the Lady Erie Stakes. A reason to believe that today he will have his first chance”, said Pablo Morales, the Peruvian jockey who shot up in the Presque Isle Downs statistics, with 56 victories this year, widely surpassing the Spanish Antonio Gallardo who is second.
Precisely Gallardo drives Ready To Venture (Kingman), who looks like the favorite’s main rival, reappears after almost eight months off. The Lael Stable mare, the same colors that Bárbaro wore, is of a good level to the point of having won in Europe, her last victory being on a track similar to Presque’s, Turfway Park, in Kentucky.
«My mare is in Kentucky, therefore, it is not possible for me to work her, but I hope that she has arrived without problems,» added Morales about this commitment together with the trainer Willian Morey.
Morales will lead several favorites on this day, in addition to the Stakes, he will have an option in the first, fifth, sixth and last of the meeting.
