Sam Houston Race 9 - Race 9 - Allowance
FAVORITE LOVE SONG (2) has switched yards since finishing sixth seven weeks ago over 201m at Louisiana Downs. Will prove tough to beat for the new barn. DEL REY BAR (8) is a three-year-old gelding who is having his first run for the Samantha A Pena stable. Finished off last campaign with a win at Evangeline Downs (Dirt) five months ago. Not seen at the trials but is in a nice race. Expected to be in the finish. PYC BLUE JESS (4) was last at the races when he finished second over 201m at Lone Star Park (Dirt) on October 23. Has switched to the Ricardo D Romero stable. Can make his presence felt. OMAC DONALD (9) has not appeared since he got the cash over 201m at Lone Star Park (Dirt) on October 31. Among the better hopes.
