Public Assembly and jockey Antonio Fresu scored an upset in the $100,000, Grade III Royal Heroine Stakes at Santa Anita on Saturday to give trainer Phil D’Amato his overdue first stakes level victory of 2025.
D’Amato, one of Southern California’s leading trainers, had been 0 for 23 in stakes this year.
D’Amato won the Royal Heroine, a 1-mile turf race for fillies and mares, for the fourth time in five years and fifth time overall.
Continuing her improvement, 4-year-old Public Assembly (who paid $18) rallied to defeat long shots Sun Of Hill and Sneaker as favorites Raw Ability and Tirupati finished off the board.
Sunday at Santa Anita, Florida stakes winner Cloe ships in with jockey Luis Saez for trainer Jose D’Angelo and is a 2-1 favorite over 5-2 Jungle Peace (Umberto Rispoli riding), 3-1 Amorita (Juan Hernandez) and four others in the $100,000, Grade III Senorita Stakes, a downhill turf sprint for 3-year-old fillies.
