Two of the highlights of the meet share the spotlight at Hastings today. First up is the Grade 3, $100,000 Ballerina in Race 5 where Reginella and Notis the Jewell, who finished a nose apart in the Delta Colleen, are the main players again in the 1 1/8 miles race for fillies and mares.
Absolutely Stylish is the one to catch and beat in $100,000 Grade 3 Premier's for 3-year-olds and up. He will be going 11 furlongs for the first time, though, and his 177 Tomlinson Figure for the distance is a big concern. If he can't carry his speed the marathon distance it is anybody's race.
The track has moisture in it and is currently rated good.
There are four scratches on the 8-race card that begins at 1:50 p. m. Pacific.
