Norastone is in Race #6, the $200,000 Evening Jewel Stakes (race 6), on Saturday at Santa Anita. She has post #1 with Edwin Maldonado on board. Post time is 2:30 PM PST; 4:30 CST. Arons analysis of the Evening Jewel Stakes include: We are confident that Norastone will put forth a much more representative effort on Saturday than she did in the Cal Cup Oaks in January. While going long on turf after being shipped across the country and running within 3 weeks of a big performance in Pennsylvania was a lot to ask of her, the Evening Jewel is a much more realistic spot to aim for. Theres no question this is yet another significant challenge, as the competition is steep, but in terms of surface, distance and overall timing and rhythm coming into the race, this is a much more comfortable feel. Michael (McCarthy) has Norastone as fit and as ready as can be, so if she brings her A-game and steps up to compete with the big girls, were cautiously optimistic she can upset the applecart in this $200-grander. The race can be viewed live on HRTV, TVG and online sites such as twinspires and betfair.
