VINTON, LA-—APRIL 19, 2015-—Fresh off of a successful winter season at Louisiana Downs, Ana Alvidrez’s Scooter Prize is one of seven state-bred sprinters entered in Wednesday’s 350-yard, $50,000 John Alleman Memorial Stakes (RG3) at Delta Downs.
Trained by Martin Trejo, Scooter Prize won two of her three outs at Louisiana Downs, both against stakes company. The 4-year-old daughter of First Prize Perry is coming off of a convincing 1 1/2-length victory in the March 21, 400-yard Streakin La Jolla Stakes.
