Divine Art, fresh from victories in the Alan Kirschenbaum and Rod Knittel, eyes her fourth straight snapshot in Saturday evening’s $7,500 Filly and Mare Open Pace at Cal Expo.
Ten races are on the Watch and Wager LLC menu with a 6:42 p.m. starting time.
Divine Art is a 6-year-old daughter of Outrageous Art who is owned, trained and driven by 79-year-old Gerry Longo.
Winning streaks are nothing new for this mare, who rattled off 17 straight victories two years ago, most of those scores coming over this layout.
In last week’s Kirschenbaum, Divine Art was dispatched as the 3-5 favorite, sat a stalking trip early and was first over to put away pace-setting Graceful Horizon by a length in a sparkling 1:52 mile.
Graceful Horizon has won half of her 10 starts on the season but has had to settle for two seconds and a third behind Divine Art in her last three trips to the post.
The Vertical Horizon mare carries the banner of Set The Pace Racing LLC with Nick Roland reining and training.
Taking on this dynamic duo are Crazy Cute, Kitty Wampus, Senga Nightmare and Nebble Hanover.
