Pair of Kentucky Oaks Fillies Face Off in Friday’s $100,000 Broussard
At 5h54, on December 22, 2023 • By FAIR GROUNDS
Hidden Brook Farm and Black Type Thoroughbreds’ Hidden Connection returns to Fair Grounds Race Course & Slots where she has been tabbed as the 5-2 morning line favorite in the $100,000 Joseph E. “Spanky” Broussard Memorial. Carded as race 7 of 9 on Friday’s card, the stake is for older fillies and mares and is to be contested over 1 mile 70 yards on the main track.
Although she is winless racing in eight stakes this year, Hidden Connection has placed in four and arguably ran the best race of her career when finishing second to Falconet in the Groupie Doll at Ellis Park. All her other races in 2023 have been graded stakes. Trained by Bret Calhoun, the 4-year-old filly who earned a spot in Kentucky Oaks 148 will be reunited with jockey Rey Gutierrez.
