Saturday, Fleetheart
Update: Or, Fleetheart might make her 5-year-old debut at Santa Anita on Sunday in the Honest Lady Stakes, a race that comes up considerably tougher with Coco Belle, Unspoken Word, and Salvatica among the entries.
Take note, Fleetheart fans: The mare will make her 5-year-old debut on Saturday in the Bay Meadows Distaff Sprint, her first start since finishing eighth in the Osunitas Handicap last August. That race — won by Kris’ Sis, who finished third by 1 1/4-length in the G2 Buena Vista handicap on Sunday — was Fleetheart’s first defeat, a loss excused by a muscle injury that kept her out of training through the fall. On Saturday, she’ll face six other starters, with A. V. Flynn — equally lightly-raced, fast, and drawn to Fleetheart’s inside — looking like her main competition.
