G What a Race!

By ITCH

You always know when you are racing against a Wassie homebred. They all got G’s at the end of their name.

And, as participants in the West Virginia Stakes Competition know, those G horses are often running in the front.

Preparation met opportunity for the two-time champion of the West Virginia Stakes Competition in 2860, when only four 2yo fillies entered the $35,000 Second Storm Stakes, a 6.5-furlong test over a good dirt course.

Wassie took down first and third when his D LION SLEEPS G effectively stretched her speed, took an early lead and kept right on going for the win; and the first-time starter WASSIE’S HOSSIE G held the show spot.

Look4win’s OUTRUN DE CAP made a very nice rally to challenge the winner, but had to settle for the place spot. She still looks a runner.
