THE SAINT PAULA<\/p>\n

A dozen of our 3 year old fillies have come to race 6.5 f (13\/16 of a mile) on the California Dirt in this Grade 3 event with a purse of $150,000.\u00a0 They will leave the gate at 2:00pm EST on Saturday March 24th<\/sup>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This field looks to be wide open as we have only 1 Graded stakes winner, 6 listed Stakes winners, with 8 of these ladies starting in their first Graded race and 1 in her first stakes at any level.\u00a0 We have 2 horses switching over to the Dirt, 4 scratchbreds and 5 jockeys will be going to the gate wearing the silks for lghtng99 racing.<\/p>\n
