BB Horses’ claimer-turned-multiple stakes-winning filly Miss Leslie, beaten a neck in her attempt at a fourth straight win, will go about starting a new streak in Saturday’s $100,000 Nellie Morse at Laurel Park.
The 39th edition of the $100,000 Nellie Morse for fillies and mares 4 and older and the 68th edition of the Campbell for 4-year-olds and up, both going about 1 1/16 miles, are among six stakes, two graded, worth $900,000 in purses on a 10-race program.
Serving as co-headliners are the $250,000 Barbara Fritchie (G3) for fillies and mares 4 and up and the $250,000 General George (G3) for 4-year-olds and up, both sprinting seven furlongs. Sophomores will be in the spotlight in the $100,000 Miracle Wood going one mile and $100,000 Wide Country for fillies sprinting seven furlongs.
First race post time is 12:25 p.m. The Nellie Morse is carded as Race 6 (2:51 p.m.) while the Campbell will go off as Race 7 (3:23 p.m.).
