NOTES: Invested Prospect could threaten the lowest payout by a Hastings Stakes winner. Ropersandwranglers in 1996 and the entry of Fair Apache and Becoming in 2000 both paid 2.80 to win. Shortest price favorite to lose is Hallelujah Trail, who finished second at 3-to-5 in 2010. Coincidentally, Hallelujah Trail was trained by Blaine Wright and owned by John & Janene Maryanski. . .Four of the last six Hastings winners—Stopshoppingdebbie (2014), E Z Kitty (2013), Class Included (2012), You Me and Ema B (2011)—were voted Top Older Filly or Mare at Emerald Downs. . .And 2015 winner, Kikisoblu, was voted 2015 Emerald Downs’ Top Sprinter. . .14 of the last 16 Hastings winners led at the stretch call (one-eighth pole)—Class Included and Estellara (2016) the only exceptions. . .In 2013, E Z Kitty upset 4-to-5 favorite Exclusive Diva en route to Top Filly or Mare honors. E Z Kitty had the same connections, trainer Jeff Metz and owner Highlander Racing Stable as Citizen Kitty. . .Invested Prospect and Citizen Kitty are both out of No Constraints, a double stakes winner at Emerald Downs and state champion 2-year-old filly in 2007.
