HOT SPRINGS, Ark. – Standoutsensation will meet a new pace rival in Runamileinmyshoes on Saturday when she seeks to win her second stakes race of the Oaklawn Park meet in the $200,000 Dig A Diamond. The one-mile race for fillies and mares is being run as the 10th race on an 11-race card that begins at 12:45 p.m. Central. A field of seven is set to start, including the up-and-coming Pronghorn. Standoutsensation will start from the rail under Rafael Bejarano and Runamileinmyshoes will be on the opposite end of the gate in post 7 under Ramon Vazquez. Both horses have used their natural speed to win races, with Standoutsensation taking the $150,000 Pippin in December at Oaklawn and Runamileinmyshoes wiring her rivals in her last two starts, which have been allowance races at Santa Anita and Oaklawn. Standoutsensation will be making her first start for trainer Kinnon LaRose, who took over the stable of Tom Amoss when he moved from training to an advisory role on April 1.

We’ll leave that up to Rafael whether she’s on the lead or just off it. She’s tactical and kind of versatile and certainly a pleasure to have, when you’ve got a filly like that.” LaRose registered his first stakes win earlier this month at Lone Star Park, with the Politi-owned Modo in the $75,000 Bluebonnet Stakes. Standoutsensation is the most accomplished member of the Dig A Diamond field as a two-time stakes winner who has earned nearly $750,000. Her victories in the Pippin and the Turnback the Alarm at Aqueduct came during a streak of four straight wins from last July to December. “She’s an ultra-consistent filly,” LaRose said. “It looks like a good spot for her.” Standoutsensation owns the field’s best last-race Beyer Speed Figure, an 84 earned for her fourth-place finish in the Grade 2 Azeri on a wet track March 7 at Oaklawn. Prior to that race, she was a close second in the Grade 3 Houston Ladies Classic run on a wet track Jan. 24 at Sam Houston. “I think in a perfect world, we’d love a fast track,” LaRose said. “But as we know, Mother Nature has other options sometimes. We’re hoping for a fast track, but if it’s a wet track, she’s still going to do her thing.” Runamileinmyshoes earned a Beyer of 80 for her second-level allowance win over 1 1/16 miles last out at Oaklawn. Prior to that race, her three wins on dirt came in mile races. Peter Miller trains the daughter of Street Boss for Wachtel Stable, Gary Barber, and Pantofel LLC. Runamileinmyshoes, who’s won three times on turf, is a perfect 4 for 4 on dirt and will make her stakes debut in the Dig A Diamond. Pronghorn will also be making her stakes debut following a first-level allowance win last out at Oaklawn. She is by Justify and out of the Grade 3-winning mare Donna Veloce, who earned more than $500,000. :: Want to learn more about handicapping and wagering?
