Run Hide My Girl seeks third straight win in El Dorado Stakes

Run Hide My Girl and Parc Monceau will attempt to continue trainer Tom Amoss’s stakes success at Delta Downs on Friday night, when they start as two of the top choices in the $70,000 El Dorado.

The one-mile race for fillies and mares who have never won an open-company stakes also drew Honeycomb Allie, a winner of both of her starts at Delta this meet, including the Orleans on the undercard of the Delta Downs Jackpot in November.

Amoss captured last weekend’s $75,000 Big Drama at Delta with Control Stake, and overall at this meet, he has a 36 percent win rate.
