Two Stepper trying to follow older sister's progression in Enchantress Stakes

Two Stepper brings some interesting family history into the $100,000 Enchantress for 3-year-old fillies Sunday at Sunland Park.

The one-mile race, which is restricted to New Mexico-breds, drew a field of 10. There is one also-eligible, Connie’s Linda, the only entrant who has won at the two-turn trip of the Enchantress.

Two Stepper will be making her two-turn debut off a win in the $100,000 La Senora at six furlongs at Sunland. It’s the same pattern followed by her older half-sister Sippin, who won the La Senora in 2017 before winning her first try at two turns in the Enchantress.

Todd Fincher trained six-time stakes winner Sippin for her breeder, R.D. Hubbard, and the same team is behind Two Stepper. The horses are both out of the Giant’s Causeway mare Samba Queen.

Two Stepper, who also races for Paul Blanchard, has won three of her seven career starts. Her first win came in her debut, a maiden special weight sprint over five furlongs last July at the Downs at Albuquerque. One start later she won a trial race at Ruidoso Downs before finishing third in that track’s Rio Grande Senora Futurity on Sept. 1.

Roimes Chirinos, who has been aboard Two Stepper for all of her starts, has the mount from post 4.
