Kissed The Boys, My
Little Susie in rematch
My Little Susie, who
accounted for the first two stakes dances for the division; and Kissed The
Boys, who upset her in the most recent big-money clash two weeks ago, get
another chance to settle the score in Saturday night’s $15,000 California Sire
Stakes for 3-year-old trotters.
An 11-race card will be
presented under the Watch and Wager LLC banner with the action starting at 6:15
p.m.. The Sire Stakes will go as second event on the evening.
My Little Susie is by
Claudius Augustus out of the S J’s Photo mare Sue’s Photo and she goes about
her business for A Piece Of the Action LLC with Gene Vallandingham training and
Chip Lackey in the sulky.
The bay miss left little
doubt in the first two stakes for this group in February, on both occasions
sitting a tracking trip to the lane and then igniting when it counted to win going
away.
The most recent Sire Stakes
was decided over a sloppy track two weeks ago and this time it was Kissed The
Boys prevailing for Team Desomer, while My Little Susie had to settle for the
place money as the 3-5 favorite.
Kissed The Boys is a homebred
who is also by Claudius Augustus who has won three of her seven starts, with
each of those decisions coming over an off track with veteran Steve Desomer at
the controls. Rounding out the field are Lodi Bank Robber, Delta Breezeoflodi,
Sixtringsandapick and CW Raisinette.
