Cowgirls Like Us won her second straight stakes of the Retama Park meet on Tuesday night, when she battled for a three-quarter-length win over Silvercents in the off-the-turf La Senorita. The race was one of two stakes on the card. Shotsoft drew off to a 5 1/4-length win over Mucho Dinero in the $75,000 El Joven.

The $75,000 La Senorita and El Joven were for 2-year-olds at a mile. The races were scheduled for turf, but were run on a sloppy, sealed main track. The stakes are the marquee races of the Retama meet, which ends Wednesday night.
