WEEK 19 FEATURE RACES
Stay in Grace
Wednesday, Oct. 28, Race 1, purse $17,000, $15,000 claiming/$10,000 starter, fillies & mares 3-year-olds & up, 6 Furlongs: Oregon-bred win machine Stay in Grace goes for her third win in 38 days, seventh in 14 starts at Emerald Downs, and 10th in 23 starts overall. She beat virtually the same field two weeks ago, and another W gives her a shot as the meet’s Top Claimer. The lone new face is E Z Star Maker, a 4 for 8 speed ball returning from a 14-month layoff. In Race 10, Pure Pursuit guns for his fourth win this season against a solid field of $3,500 starter/$7,500 claimers at 6 1/2 panels. Pure Pursuit is 3-2-0 in six starts and comes off a strong effort against open $10,000 claimers, finishing second after dueling through splits of :21 2/5, :43 4/5.
Papa’s Golden Boy
Thursday, Oct. 29, Race 1, purse $23,100 ALW/$40,000 claiming, 3-year-olds & up, 6 Furlongs: There are 97 horses entered in 11 races on closing day, including 48 in the final $0.50 Pick 5 of the season. So bring the big voucher. The card begins with a bang as Papa’s Golden Boy guns for his fourth sprint victory of the meet. This one, however, is a tougher test than the one Papa aced two weeks ago. Blaine Wright entered the tough duo of Windribbon and Oh Marvelous Me, while Catfish Hunter and Makah Lane have run sprints this season good enough to threaten here. Hollywood Heat rounds out the field and has a pair of interesting stats this season, producing the biggest $2 win mutuel of the meet ($105.60) on Aug. 13, and going off at the biggest odds (129.80 to 1) in the 85-year-history of the Longacres Mile while finishing eighth to Anothertwistafate on Sept. 10.

WEEKLY HONORS #18 (Oct. 21 & 22): Jockey Gary Wales Trainer Bill Tollett Owner Darlyne Krieg WTBOA WA Bred Ethan’s Animal (Bred by Todd and Shawn Hansen)
Bill Tollett
NOTES: Congratulations to longtime trainer Bill Tollett, retiring after over five decades in the sport. Tollett is 17th in all-time with 311 wins at Emerald Downs, and perhaps best known as the trainer of 1989 Longacres Derby winner Harmony Creek. Bill and wife Donna plan to relocate to Texas.
