Snowball rallies to win Evangeline Downs Distaff
Snowball rallied for a three-quarter-length win over Distractor Factor in the $60,000 Evangeline Downs Distaff on Friday night. It was another half-length back in third to pacesetter Saber Cut.
Snowball covered the mile for fillies and mares bred in Louisiana in 1:38.35. Diego Saenz was aboard for trainer Sam Breaux. Snowball paid $5.40.
Snowball earned $36,000 for the win for owner Tin Roof Farms. She is a daughter of Apriority. Snowball, who has now won four stakes races, overall has a record of six wins from 28 starts for earnings of $296,680.
Breaux said earlier this week that Snowball is a candidate to cut back to one turn for the Louisiana Legends Mademoiselle on June 5 at Evangeline.
Evangeline sent out a text notice late Friday that purses for the Louisiana Legends stakes races June 5 would be increased to $70,000. They were originally $60,000.
