Sam Houston Sunday Jan.27: Ladies Classic G3, John B Connally Turf Cup G3, 4 other Stakes. Grid
.
Sunday, January 27, 2019. Sam Houston Race Track. Today’s racing features the Houston Ladies Classic G3 8.5 dirt, and John B. Connally Turf Cup G3 at 12f.
.
.
The Ladies Classic includes a field of just 6 after a scratch, 5 brave enough to take on Midnight Bisou, a Grade 1 winner who finished 3rd, 1 length back in the BC Distaff G1 last out, rounding out the year in excellent form.
.
On paper, the only fillies with a real shot at her is 2nd ML choice Remedy, coming off 2 2nd place G3 finishes, and G2 winner Prado’s Sweet Ride. The other 3 are hoping for some 3rd or 4th place purse money.
.
In the Connally, former BC Turf participant Bigger Picture is definitely the 1 to beat, with Markitoff seeming to have the only realistic shot. But hold on, Zapperini and Lawless West are the only 2 natural early runners and thus could make speed hold up for a while, at great odds.
