Graceful Horizon headlines Cal Expo Open

Graceful Horizon, fresh from victories in an Open and last week’s Joe Alto, looks to keep the momentum going in Sunday night’s (Jan. 21) featured $8,000 Filly and Mare Open Pace.
Watch and Wager LLC will present nine races Sunday night with first post set for 7:55 p.m.
Graceful Horizon is going in razor-sharp form at the moment with those back-to-back scores, including the Joe Alto Free-For-All.
The Vertical Horizon mare races for Set The Pace Racing LLC with Nick Roland doing the driving and training.
Graceful Horizon rallied with cover to get the job done in the December 29 Open, then had a two-hole trip in the Alto behind favored Give Me This Dance and motored by when it counted for the handy decision in 1:53 3/5.
Give Me This Dance did all the heavy lifting in the Alto and was no match for the pocket-sitter when push came to shove. Luke Plano reins and trains the 5-year-old mare for Alan and Cheryl Sandbulte.
She has a pair of Open victories to her credit at this meet in November and December and her versatile racing style gives Plano early options.
Completing the field are River Lassena, What Cheer, Crazy Cute, Starzznstripes, Divine Art and Velocity McSweets.
