?q=100)
La Cara, a two-time Grade 1 winner last year at 3 for Mark Casse, is nearing the first start of her 4-year-old campaign. She worked Sunday at Oaklawn, breezing five-eighths in 1:02.80.
“I am excited to get her going,” Casse said. “She’ll either run in the Houston Ladies Classic at Sam Houston or the Bayakoa. I haven’t decided yet.”
The Grade 3, $300,000 Houston Ladies Classic for fillies and mares at 1 1/16 miles will be run Jan. 24. It is the richest race at Sam Houston.
