Multiple graded stakes winner Lightstream (Harlan's Holiday), coming off a win in the Oct. 22 GII Lexus Raven Run S. at Keeneland, will be making her first start for new co-owner Little Red Feather Racing in the Dec. 26 GI La Brea S.
“We bought a minority interest after the Raven Run,” said Little Red Feather founder and managing partner Billy Koch. “[Existing owners] Up Hill Stable and Head of Plains Partners LLC were generous enough to let us come in for a minority share and we're excited about the filly.”
The late-closing sophomore filly won the Apr. 17 GIII Adena Springs Beaumont S. in her second career start. She was third in the July 2 GI Mother Goose S. and a narrowly beaten second in the Aug. 6 GI Test S. before her Raven Run victory.
Training at Palm Meadows, Lightstream most recently worked Saturday, going six furlongs in 1:15.55.
“She's training awesome for Brian Lynch at Palm Meadows in Florida and she arrives at Santa Anita this week,” Koch said. “We're excited about the prospects of running in the La Brea. I think she will definitely be one of the favorites, if not the favorite. She just needs a good trip. Julien [Leparaoux] will ride and he knows her very well. I don't know exactly who's going in the race, but it looks like there's a lot of speed, so it could set up nicely for her.”
