SWEET ROSEMAN Dominates for 2nd Straight Win

Arcadia, CA. Saturday, June 1, 2008 – SWEET ROSEMAN, another stakes placed filly in the ELITE STABLES barn, dominated the three-year old fillies at Santa Anita Park today in race 2. Her three and a half length victory in the 6 furlong contest was her second win in only 2 weeks. SWEET ROSEMAN stayed pretty close to the pace but did it with the greatest of ease. She started to make her move at the top of the stretch and easily ran over and past the other fillies. “Victor (Espinoza) put a great ride on her and she made it look easy…….AGAIN!” said Gary Sadowski, Elite Stables’ Director of Racing Operations.

On May 18th SWEET ROSEMAN delivered an equally dominant performance in the six and a half contest at Santa Anita Park. On that day she broke poorly and then rushed to the lead and led every step of the way. Gary Sadowski confidently noted “They could have gone around the track again and they never would have passed her!”

SWEET ROSEMAN has proved to be a versatile and confident runner on the front end or coming from off of the pace. ELITE STABLES looks forward to a repeat performce in her next start.
