SPECHT’S DEAD-HEATERS TO RUN IN PACIFIC HEIGHTS STAKES AT GGF

ALBANY -- Lady Railrider and Shes a Lucky Wager, two fillies that couldn't be separated in their last start, will represent trainer Steve Specht in the $75,000 Pacific Heights Stakes at Golden Gate Fields Saturday.

"I'm not only running, I'm going to dead-heat," said Specht with a laugh when asked about the Pacific Heights, a 1 1/16-mile race for fillies and mares bred in California.


Specht experienced a thrill shared by few trainers on Nov. 9 at Golden Gate Fields when Lady Railrider and Shes a Lucky Wager dead-heated for the win in a 1 1/16-mile allowance race. Specht lamented after the race that he should have bet an exacta.

Entries for the Pacific Heights will be taken Wednesday morning. You Lift Me Up and Spenditallbaby are also confirmed for the race. Bai and Bai, Bartok's Bling, Film Editor, Tutta Bella and Warren's Appeal are listed as possible starters.

Fans attending Golden Gate Fields Saturday will receive a free GGF long sleeve T-shirt. Post time Wednesday through Sunday is 12:45 p.m.
