Hoosier Philly is part of a classy group of fillies and mares for Saturday's Houston Ladies Classic at Sam Houston.
A collection of some of the best fillies and mares in the region have landed in the Grade 3, $300,000 Houston Ladies Classic on Saturday at Sam Houston, with the field of nine boasting eight stakes winners, including Hoosier Philly and Alpine Princess.
“I think this race is certainly a race that is a great way to try to kick off the year for any older mare and it shows by all the horses that entered it,” said Tom Amoss, who trains Hoosier Philly. “It’s not in our backyard, but it’s next door, which is nice.”
