Rick Lee's selections and analysis
6 The American Beauty. Purse $150,000, 6 furlongs, fillies and mares, 4-year-olds and up
SARAH HARPER*** finished second behind a fast filly in the Poinsettia, which has turned out to be a key race. HOT AND SULTRY finished second behind a talented post-time favorite, while nearly five lengths clear of third in a useful allowance tune-up. PERFECT HAPPINESS was beaten only one length in the Paz Zareta last month at Fair Grounds, and she is a two-time winner at Oaklawn.
