Life Isa Shortwalk heads Vallandingham Pace
At 22h52, on December 4, 2021 • By CAL EXPO
Life Isa Shortwalk, a sharp 6-1 upsetter last week, figures to get a lot more respect at the windows in Sunday night’s $15,000 Bill Vallandingham Pace for fillies and mares.
The Vallandingham headlines a nine-race Watch and Wager LLC card that is set to get underway at 8 p.m.
Life Isa Shortwalk is an 8-year-old daughter of Keystone Rodeo who carries the banner of Set The Pace Racing LLC and is reined and trained by Nick Roland. She comes into this assignment just shy of the $200,000 earnings mark with a 1:52 4/5 standard that was set at Plainridge Racecourse.
Leaving from the No. 2 post last week, she was unhurried early and then came second-over down the backside. Roland made a sweeping move with his mare off the final turn to grab command and she went on to a two and a quarter-length decision while stopping the timer n 1:55 3/5.
Casa Mia put in a solid late bid to complete the exacta in that affair for owner Gretchen Smith, trainer Nathalie Tremblay and pilot James Kennedy and will be looking to turn the tables on Sunday.
Taking them on in the Vallandingham are Wizzel Stix, Brooklyn Moonshine, Helen’s Girl, Machet Time and Shes A Live Wire.
