LAS PALMAS FOURTH GRADE II ON BREEDERS' CUP FRIDAY LINEUP
ARCADIA, Calif. (Oct. 21 2008) – When the 25th Breeders' Cup World Championships commence on Friday at Santa Anita with the inaugural Ladies' Day portion of the expanded two-day event, Oak Tree's 39th running of the $250,000 Las Palmas Handicap will serve as the afternoon's fourth Grade II attraction.
Black Mamba, whose fortunes rose dramatically upon departing her native New Zealand last summer and joining trainer John Sadler's barn, will carry high weight of 120 pounds among 14 entrants in the one-mile turf competition after running second to Naissance Royale in last year's Las Palmas.
