The four runners who were defeated from the February 19 Dixie Belle Stakes return for the $150,000 Purple Martin Stakes March 21 with their chances ultimately increasing in the absence of a winner. Happy soul .
The best of the finishers Dixie Belle is runner-up Very small who, despite encountering some traffic troubles in the section of the road, secured the enemy’s position Hypersport . Verylittlecents, campaigned by Randy Morse and trained by Randy Morse, has entered Dixie Bell after a nearly three-month refresh. 3 year old daughter of Gold Coins was a bet winner and made many bets while underage.
Jon Court again had a call on Saturday.
If Verylittlecents is the best, the worst runner from Dixie Belle is a hybrid of Winchell Thoroughbreds Evil Halo . Last summer’s Adirondack Stakes (G2) winner, an infamous lead, walked out of the gate in Dixie Belle and found himself on the field early. In a less than ideal location, Gunman filly was never quite comfortable, although she improved her position down the lane to take fourth place. Intern Steve Asmussen will have to hope for a better breakout from the gate to see a return to form.
Shortleaf Stable’s Como . Square the most recent is a distant third Secret Vow in two passes on January 29, Martha Washington Stakes, shortening up to six laces at Purple Martin. Trained by Brad Cox, Into Mischief filly is 2 to 2 in sprint distance.
