On Thursday, May 31, Golden Gate Fields will host a seven race, all-turf card, with each race scheduled on the lakeside turf course. First post is 12:45 PM Pacific time with gates opening for simulcasting at 10:00 AM Pacific time.

“Turf racing is very popular amongst our horseplayers and fans,” said Golden Gate Fields general manager and vice president David Duggan. “We are very excited to present this unique opportunity for an all-turf card. There will be a lack of turf racing in Northern California in the coming months,” continued Duggan. “We found it was an ideal opportunity to use our excellent turf course for our horsemen to run their horses.”

Horseplayers should keep in mind that the turf rails will be set at 20 feet for the first four races on the program. Between races 4 and 5, track maintenance crews will move the rails to 0 feet for the remaining three races of the day. There will be about a one hour break in racing during the rail adjustment.

After putting in a stellar effort in the top distaff event here last week, Iheartquestionmark stepped down in class and scored her third win in her last four starts, taking the $12,000 fillies and mares pacing feature at Plainridge Park on Tuesday afternoon (May 29).

Beautiful Lady (Nick Graffam) took the lead and got the girls to the half in :55.2 before Shesgotthebeat (Greg Merton) came calling on the outside to engage the leader for the rest of the race. With Iheartquestionmark (Eric Davis) sitting second-over in the fray, Beautiful Lady and Shesgotthebeat went stride for stride up the backside and to the three-quarters in 1:24.

They kept at it around the last turn when Iheartquestionmark tipped three-deep with a full head of steam and a highly animated driver. Davis kept the mare to task and paced away to a one-half length margin of victory in 1:53, which was a new seasonal mark for the mare.

The Janet Davis owned and trained Iheartquestionmark was overlooked by the betting public despite the class drop and inside draw and was allowed to go off 17-1. As a result, the venerable 9-year-old returned $36.80 for the win and topped the two post time favorites in a 2-5-4 trifecta that paid $1,344.60.

The three leading Plainridge dash drivers continued their winning ways on Tuesday as Drew Campbell and Greg Merton scored two wins apiece while Shawn Gray had one. As a result, Campbell is the leader of the pack right now with 40 wins for the meet with Gray and Merton tied for second with 38 wins each.

Racing resumes at Plainridge Park on Thursday afternoon (May 31) at 4 p.m.

Thank you for...

Tuesday’s “Lock” is at Northfield Park on race 2 with the #1-Charlie Call Home-Going for 3 in a row and looks unstoppable for driver Aaron Merriman and trainer Chris Beaver. Last Lock was a winner. Howard’s record now stands at: 227 of 371 wins with 69 seconds and 23 thirds.
