We’ll have a notable rooting interest on Sunday when Sirius Pursuit’s sophomore half-sister Paula’s a Star returns to stakes company in Saratoga’s Jersey Girl S. She’ll be the #7 in Race 9. Post time is 4:39 p.m.
Paula’s a Star disappointed last out when third at short odds in a Laurel Park allowance, but trainer Tom Morley must have found a legitimate excuse for that effort to come back in this spot and he’s having a great Belmont S. week already, with two wins thus far including a score in Thursday’s G3 Poker S.
Sirius Pursuit’s year-older half-sister Paula’s a Star earned black-type yesterday when she finished a game third against the boys in Aqueduct’s Jimmy Winkfield S. While a minor placing in a listed stakes race won’t dramatically impact our filly’s value, it certainly doesn’t hurt, and Paula’s a Star seems like one who could very well have more stakes success in her future.
