St. Thomas’ Twisted Dream will lead a field of four thoroughbreds Sunday in the 7 1/2 furlong Father’s Day featured race at the Randall “Doc” James Race Track.
Even though he is the heavy favorite, a win for Twisted Dream is far from guaranteed. With the speedy Plotter, who has been in good form of late, and the consistent Puerto Rican Emblem in the field, the favorite will have his hands full trying to keep those two out of the winner’s circle. Rounding out the field According to Jesus appears to be in over his head, but he carries the low weight and could end up in the money if a hot pace set by Plotter and Puerto Rican Emblem causes either of those to falter in the end.
Twisted Dream will be carrying 121 pounds in the race. Plotter and Puerto Rican Emblem will carry 118 pounds each, and According to Jesus 114.
The seventh race, for mares and fillies, will be led by the territory’s top female racer, Turned to Gold, who will carry a top weight of 124 pounds. She will be challenged by the improving Imperial Award, carrying 115 pounds, the underachieving Holy Barbara, 118, newcomer Karmer Cat, 114, and former top mare, Leggy Blonde, 118, who is competing again after a short retirement.
