An Open II Filly and Mare Pace featuring Dancingonthesand and an Open II Trot that will bring out Its A Horse and the invading Scramble Camp will be the main attractions for this Friday evening’s (Nov. 29) program of live racing at Cal Expo.
There will be 12 races presented under the ‘Watch and Wager LLC’ banner. First post is set for 6:10 p.m.
Dancingonthesand will be gunning for her third consecutive victory in the Distaff Pace and will be starting from the outside slot in the field of 10. Mooney Svendsen is scheduled to be in the sulky for owner Alan Cooper and trainer Kathie Plested.
After a romping score at Cal Expo on November 9, Dancingonthesand did her work from Post 9 in last weekend’s clash at this level and came from well off the pace to post a one and a half-length score with Svendsen.
Looking ahead to Saturday’s program, the $8,500 Funicello/Holt Final, an Open Pace headed by Allmyxsliventexas and two divisions of the Alan Horowitz elimination will headline the evening’s action.
Tabbat Mcrey, who came from out of the clouds to record her first Cal Expo victory last week, has received top billing in the Funicello/Holt Final, which is for pacing fillies and mares.
Cal Expo offers two wagers nightly that come with a reduced 16 per cent takeout rate. They are the 20-cent Pick 5, which begins on the first race, and the 20-cent Pick 4, which comes with a $25,000 (guaranteed) gross pool.
