Sacramento, CA — A pair of $20,000 California Sire Stakes for 3-year-old pacers are the main attractions Sunday evening (April 7) at Cal Expo, with Another Tuff Woman and Celebrity Status getting top billing.

There are 13 races under the Watch and Wager LLC banner with first post set for 5:35 p.m. PDT.

Another Tuff Woman is a homebred daughter of Wind Me Up who races for Alan and Cheryl Sandbulte, is conditioned by Jose Castillo, and will once again be guided by James Kennedy. She has been the easiest kind of winner in the first two stakes events for the sophomore fillies. Set to line up against her are Little Miss Boss, TJB Secreharriet, Positivement Magic, Karpathian Jewel and Suddenly Famous.

Celebrity Status has proven to be a punctual odds-on favorite in the initial two stakes dances for the males while racing for Set The Pacing Racing LLC and driver-trainer Nick Roland. In the Feb. 16 contest, he tracked to the far turn, was out and moving at the leaders turning for home, and was a handy 2-3/4-length victor. In the last Sire Stakes, on March 10, he brushed to the lead down the backside and took complete control of things.

“He was a little slow to develop last year, but we knew he had the talent,” Roland said. “After he finished second in the ($65,000) Championship at the end of the Running Aces meet, we gave him some time and pointed him for the stakes races here.”

Taking him on are Fiery Conclusion, All Star Wonder, Getoff The Hose T, Bro Hug, Karpathian Nights, Say So’s Wind Up, Down Goes Frazier and Alien Art Form.
