STAKES DOUBLEHEADER NEXT WEEK FOR 3-YEAR-OLDS

AUBURN, Wash. (July 7, 2019) – Stakes action shifts into high gear on Sunday, July 14, with a pair of stakes events for 3-year-olds at Emerald Downs.

The $50,000 Seattle Slew Stakes for 3-year-old colts and geldings and $50,000 Irish Day Stakes for 3-year-old fillies will both be contested at 1 1/16 miles.

Undefeated and virtually untested, Baja Sur (4-4-0-0-$87,450) heads a list of 14 colts and geldings nominated to the Seattle Slew, final steppingstone to the Muckleshoot Derby next month. Baja Sur is 2 for 2 at the meet, scoring by 5 lengths in the Auburn Stakes and 1-¾ lengths in the Coca-Cola Stakes.

Mucho Amor and Alittlelesstalk, who have traded decisions in the Seattle Stakes and Kent Stakes, are among 12 fillies nominated to the Irish Day, final steppingstone to the Washington Oaks next month.
