Terra Promessa Makes First Start Since Kentucky Oaks in She's All In
The $100,000 She’s All In Handicap, part of the undercard of Springboard Mile Day at Remington Park, drew a field of 12 for this Sunday afternoon. Terra Promessa, a multiple graded stakes winner, has been entered to make her first start since finishing 10th in the Grade 1 Kentucky Oaks in May at Churchill Downs.
Owned by Stonestreet Stables of Geyserville, Calif., Terra Promessa is trained by National Racing Hall of Famer Steve Asmussen. Jockey Richard Eramia will have the mount in the She’s All In a race for fillies and mares, 3 and older, at 1 mile-70 yards.
Terra Promessa earned her way into the Kentucky Oaks thanks to back-to-back wins in the Grade 3, $200,000 Honeybee Stakes and then the Grade 3, $400,000 Fantasy Stakes, both this spring at Oaklawn Park in Hot Springs, Ark. Since finishing 10th in the field of 14 in the Kentucky Oaks in Louisville, Ky. in May, Terra Promessa has posted a series of workouts to ready for her return. She recently breezed five furlongs in bullet fashion at Fair Grounds in New Orleans on Nov. 29.
Terra Promessa is the top earner among the dozen entered for the She’s All In Handicap with $450,600 to her credit. She will carry the second-highest weight in the handicap with 120 pounds.
The 122-pound high-weight for the She’s All In is Savings Account, owned by Heider Family Stables and Craig Bernick of Ocala, Fla. Trained by Thomas Proctor, Savings Account won her most recent start, the $200,000 Treasure Chest Stakes at Delta Downs in Vinton, La. on Nov. 19. A 5-year-old with 20 career starts, Savings Account is well-traveled, having competed from coast-to-coast. She was third in the Grade 1 Zenyatta Stakes at Santa Anita in Sept. 2015, behind Beholder.
Savings Account finished third in the She’s All In Handicap while carrying 121 pounds in 2015. She will be ridden by Corey Lanerie in this Sunday’s edition.
The She’s All In is named after the talented Oklahoma-bred mare who won multiple graded stakes events as well as dominating the Oklahoma Classics Distaff for four straight years (2010-2013), all while accumulating over $1 million in career earnings.
