Senga Nightmare heads Cal Expo Sire Stakes
At 0h04, on February 18, 2022 • By CAL EXPO
Senga Nightmare heads the cast for Friday night’s (Feb. 18) $20,000 California Sire Stakes for the 4-year-old pacing mares, while A Major Omen and Its Pointless are among the top players in the co-featured $7,500 Open Pace.
There will be nine races presented under the Watch and Wager LLC banner with first post set for 6:45 p.m.
Senga Nightmare is a daughter of Vertical Horizon out of the Falcons Future mare Nells Sweet Future who is owned, trained and driven by Ryan Grundy. She comes into this assignment having won four of her last seven trips to the post.
In the first Sire Stakes action of the season three weeks ago, Senga Nightmare was dispatched as the 3-5 favorite and did not disappoint her many backers. Unhurried early, as is her custom, she looped the leaders into the lane and won going away by a length and quarter.
Taking her on Friday, from the rail out: Witch Hunter, May Day Maggie, Cookiesncream, Doubleontherocks, Rockin The Dragon, and Tartan Patch.
An extremely contentious field of nine will face the starter in the Open Pace with A Major Omen assigned the outside slot for owner/driver/trainer Gerry Longo while taking on the hard-hitting Its Pointless and recent upset winners Ragged But Right and Dancin Lance.
