Velocity McSweets in Cal Expo spotlight
At 0h27, on January 5, 2024 • By CAL EXPO
Velocity McSweets, coming off back-to-back solid tries in Open company, gets the top billing in Friday night’s (Jan. 5) $6,000 feature for pacing distaffers at Cal Expo.
A nine-race card is on tap under the Watch and Wager LLC banner with first post set for 9:45 p.m.
Velocity McSweets is a 9-year-old daughter of McArdie who is owned and trained by Jennifer Sabot and will once again have James Kennedy at the controls from the cozy rail slot.
After coming in from Chicago, the bay miss rattled off two solid conditioned scores here to kick off the meet, on both occasions sitting back early and then making a big move past the half to get the job done.
Stepping up to the Open level for her last pair, Velocity McSweets has turned in big miles while finishing second to Starrzznstripes and then third behind Graceful Horizon after being shuffled.
Taking her on Friday are Princessofthedawn with Nick Roland; Muffin Top, Mooney Svendsen; Bekkums Fancy Star, Jake Cutting; Wish I Had Thyme for Gerry Longo; Senga Nightmare, Ryan Grundy; and Ain’t She Special for Luke Plano.
