| Super Weekend of Racing Ahead at Rillito |
|
WHAT A WEEKEND!!! After the a week of rain clouds threatened to spoil racing once again at Rillito Racetrack, the fans packed the track and the sunshine prevailed, helping to close out January with a bang.
Saturday featured the Walter Seifried Memorial Stakes for Thoroughbreds, and it was Follow the Wind who blew away the competition to claim the prize over an abbreviated field that included Romeo's Wilson, a lifetime winner of over $775,000.
And Sunday's action got even hotter with the Rillito Park Quarter Horse Derby trails, which has set up quite a showdown in 2 weeks between Dueces Wild and Thank You Mr. Jack. The final times from both trials can be found here.
If you haven't had a chance to visit Historic Rillito Race Track, there is simply no better time than this Saturday, the only day of racing this weekend at Rillito. Quarter Horse Stakes are sure to pack the crowd, as the premier Saturday at Rillito features the $10,000 John Deere Challenge Stakes and the La Gran Espectacular, a Quarter Horse Stakes race with an estimated purse of $40,000!!!
As always, this Saturday means FREE GENERAL ADMISSION at Rillito, and of course FREE GENERAL PARKING is always the case at Rillito, so make sure you don't miss any of the great action this Saturday!!!
Tucson is past the wet weather of last weekend, but fans shouldn't let the opportunity pass to see great Quarter Horse and Thoroughbred action this Saturday at Rillito!!!
