Earnings: $68,650
Breeding: Twirling Candy – Talkin and Singing
Owner: Halo Farms, Jim Bashor, and Diane Bashor
Trainer: Clifford W. Sise Jr.
Last Race: Santa Anita: Allowance Optional Claimer on 2/4/16, finished 1st
Analysis: Big Santa Anita allowance winner looked like the real deal. Obviously the next step now is the jump up in class to the Grade 2 San Felipe which will not be easy. His allowance win reminded me of Prospect Park last year, and that horse went on to just be ok on the Derby trail. Danzing Candy will hope to do better than that.
