WA State Legislators Stakes Notes

Defending champion Gadget Queen and the ever-improving No Flies On Doodle head a list of eight fillies and mares nominated to the $50,000 Washington State Legislators Stakes on Monday, May 31.

The 6 ½ furlong stakes highlights a four-day racing week—Friday thru Monday—that culminates with special holiday racing on Memorial Day.

Gadget Queen (28-8-9-3-$243,960) set a stakes record of 1:14 3/5 in the 2009 Washington State Legislators Stakes. She rallied for a three-length victory over top-class runners like High Resolve and Elusive Horizon (the latter would earn honors as the meet's Top Older Filly or Mare). Gadget Queen is trained by Blaine Wright and owned by John and Janene Maryanski, who also are represented by Hallelujah Trail.
