April 14, 2021

LEXINGTON, Ky. – Myracehorse.com’s His Glory held off Joy Epifora (ARG) by a nose to win Wednesday’s $85,000 Winter Quarter Purse for fillies and mares. (Click here for a replay of the race.)

Trained by Joe Sharp and ridden by Luis Saez, His Glory covered the 1 1/16 miles over a sloppy main track in 1:44.61. The race was moved off the turf course. 

Final Cut set the pace in the three-horse field and led to the middle of the far turn when His Glory took over and barely held off Joy Epifora at the wire. 

A Keeneland sales graduate, His Glory is a 4-year-old Florida-bred daughter of Mineshaft out of the Aldebaran mare Glorious Sky. The victory was worth $41,370 and increased His Glory’s earnings to $232,665 with a record of 19-5-3-1. 

The winner paid $4 with no place or show wagering.

Racing continues Thursday afternoon with a nine-race program beginning at 1:05 p.m.

I think I bet every one of the horses named in Tracking Trips. On what I consider to be a subpar day for PTW - 5 winners, 11 losers who finished 2nd or worse. But a $2 Win bet on every pick, even with 5 out of 16, would have netted $19.06. I'll never starve...
