Gato Paso, Puerto Rican Emblem Lead Field in Featured Race

Puerto Rican Emblem flashes past the wire in his last start. He'll run again Sunday in the featured race.Gato Paso and Puerto Rican leads a field of five thoroughbreds in Sunday’s featured seven-furlong eighth race at the Randall “Doc” James Race Track.

Gato Paso has a lot of speed and is expected to be on the lead early. If left alone to relax out front he could go wire-to-wire on the field. However, he is coming off of a layoff.

Puerto Rican Emblem always tries hard and should be right there at the end with chance of snatching the prize. Parachute Coney and Remarkable Storm are still relatively new to Virgin Islands but both have shown potential. If the top two should falter look for either of these two to take full advantage.

Expect Smoke is fast but looks to be in over his head in this one.
