This big, good looking 4yo filly by City Of Light is selling Monday at @FasigTiptonCo. Check out hip 301 at @HunterValleyKY consignment. She’s a half sister to multiple graded stakes winner Hang The Moon and was a beautiful mover on the track. I can almost see over her withers!

🔥 #4 EL POTENTE ($4.00) was dominant in the $100,000 Thunder Road Stakes (G3) at @SantaAnitaPark. @HIBerrios piloted the seven-year-old son of Temple City (@SpendthriftFarm) for trainer @dan_blacker.
