AUBURN, Wash. (May 21, 2018) – Emerald Downs’ stakes action shifts into high gear with a pair of stakes over the four-day Memorial Day weekend. Three-year-olds race six furlongs in Sunday’s $50,000 Auburn Stakes and older fillies and mares race six furlongs in Monday’s $50,000 Hastings Stakes.
Elliott Bay, voted state and track champion 2-year-old of 2017, is set to make his 2018 debut in the Auburn. By Harbor the Gold-Melba Jewel, Elliott Bay won two stakes and over $90,000 including a 1 ½-length victory in the Gottstein Futurity.
Citizen Kitty defends her title in the Hastings, and the 6-year-old by Proud Citizen-No Constraints scored a 1 ¼-length allowance win at 5 1/2 furlongs in her Emerald Downs return May 6.
