Only two rivals stuck around to face 2-year-old colt Mailata in the $75,000 Future Stars male division at Parx on Tuesday. Both runners paid the price, as the 1-5 favorite pulled away at will to win by 19 lengths. In a field that was originally supposed to feature nine horses, trainer Butch Reid was left with two runners in the shortened field. Mailata was his obvious star coming off a 3 1/2-length victory in the $100,000 Pennsylvania Nursery, and no one seemed ever to question him. He paid $2.40 to win. “It was a good exercise,” Reid said. “[The three-horse field] was a little surprising, not sure what was going on there. But we'll take it anyway we can get it.” :: Access the most trusted data and information in horse racing! DRF Past Performances and Picks are available now. Tough Guy Tony, Reid’s other runner, set the early pace in the Future Stars, dueling with Miguel Penaloza-trained colt Higher Sense on the backstretch. The top pair scrapped for command through an opening quarter-mile in 23.56 seconds, but Mailata came calling early and blew right by under Mychel Sanchez. “[Sanchez] let the two go on and he sat back off of him,” Reid said. “He said he had to steer him out and go around because the horse was just dragging him and he was going to run over top of the other horses.” In a profoundly confident ride, Mailata opened a two-length lead through a half-mile in 47.54. The result from there was overwhelming, as the Pennsylvania-bred colt was already ahead by 12 lengths by the time he hit the stretch. He cruised to the wire while extending and completed the seven-furlong sprint in 1:27.20. Behind the runaway winner, Higher Sense outlasted Tough Guy Tony to finish eight lengths clear for second. Reid said that adding distance should not be an issue for Mailata, who has now earned two stakes victories at Parx in commanding fashion. His next destination is not clear, but the trainer said that he will likely try two turns. Law School wins easily Jockey Yedsit Hazlewood could not have been calmer in the irons as Law School rocketed home in the $75,000 Future Stars fillies division at Parx Racing on Tuesday. Firmly in command by the time she hit the stretch, the juvenile filly met no resistance on the way to a seven-length score. Trainer Jamie Ness, confident in his 2-5 favorite as early as two weeks ago, never had a doubt that she was ready for her stakes debut. A 12 1/4-length debut winner at Parx in August, she went through a months-long drought before finally running off again in a 14 1/4-length allowance victory at Laurel Park on Dec. 7. “I guess it was kind of expected,” Ness said. “That's how she trains. She's a really talented filly and we’ve been high on her since Day One.” Both of Law School’s previous runaways came after the filly grabbed the early lead, but she showed more restraint under Hazlewood on Tuesday. When 7-2 second choice Divine Intentions broke from the rail and took a 2 1/2-length lead, Ness’s filly did not immediately give chase and settled behind in second. Divine Intentions completed the opening quarter-mile in 23.42 seconds. By the time she blew through a half-mile in 47.50, Law School was the only horse within seven lengths of the lead. Frankie Pennington kept pushing the issue aboard the front-runner, but she was powerless against her lone challenger. As soon as Hazlewood asked Law School for more, the heavy favorite easily took over with a burst on the far turn. No one came remotely close to running her down. She completed the seven-furlong sprint in 1:26.63 and paid $2.80 to win. Law School, a $5,000 purchase at the 2024 Fasig-Tipton October yearling sale, has shown Ness considerable promise in her last two starts, paving the way for an exciting 3-year-old campaign. The trainer said that he plans to target two-turn races in either New York or Maryland going forward. “It just goes to show that you don't have to spend billions of dollars to get a nice filly,” Ness said. In a battle between father and son for second, Divine Intentions easily held position for trainer Tyler Servis, finishing 3 1/2 lengths ahead of John Servis-trained filly Bellanova. Angie's Reward scores in Miss Behaviour Angie’s Reward, a 2-year-old filly trained by Brandon Kulp, seemed right at home in her first race against Pennsylvania-breds on Tuesday at Parx. With a determined finish under jockey Angel Rodriguez, the juvenile closed fast to win the $75,000 Miss Behaviour Stakes. In July, Angie’s Reward had instant success for Kulp at home, winning a maiden special weight at Penn National in her debut. She did not run again until late October and lost two allowances before stepping into statebred stakes company on Tuesday. Presenceisapresent, a first-time starter trained by Juan Carlos Guerrero, gave the field a considerable shock when he overcame an early stumble and hustled to the lead under apprentice jockey Jeriel Catala. In the first stakes race of his career, the 21-year-old rider didn’t waste any time, dueling just behind through an opening quarter-mile in 23.18 seconds before pushing ahead through a half-mile in 47.92. Before the race, Guerrero said that he expected a strong performance from his debuting runner, and when Catala asked her for more on the far turn, she kicked away to lead by 1 1/2 lengths. Angie’s Reward and Rodriguez saved all the ground while stalking on the rail, but even as they advanced into striking range, it was clearly going to be a task chasing down the loose longshot. Presenceisapresent remained stubborn all the way to the wire, but in the final strides, she was simply short on momentum. Angie’s Reward continued advancing, drew alongside, and cleared the front-runner by three-quarters of a length. She completed the six-furlong distance in 1:14.28 and paid $9.80 to win. Presenceisapresent never met another challenger in her debut, finishing 6 1/2 lengths ahead of Eake, the third-place finisher trained by Guadalupe Preciado. Shortly after the gates opened, Smart Philly stumbled and unseated jockey Martina Rojas. Per her agent, she was “banged up” after the fall but did not sustain any serious injuries. The Murray Rojas-trained filly ran at the rear of the field throughout the race. :: Want to learn more about handicapping and wagering? Check out DRF's Handicapping 101 and Wagering 101 pages.
