OPELOUSAS, LA—OCTOBER 5, 2021—Apollitical B Snow, a 4-year-old son of Apollitical Blood racing for Christopher A. Villatoro, put his three-race win streak on the line in Saturday’s 350-yard, $35,000 Mid-City Stakes (R) for Louisiana-breds at Evangeline Downs.

Apollitical B Snow won three stakes at three different distances during the Delta Downs meet, including the 440-yard, $75,000 Louisiana Classic (RG2) on July 31. The gelding has earned $111,798 from four starts this season.

However, the mare has won three of her four outs at Evangeline Downs, including last year’s 400-yard, $274,000 Louisiana QHBA Breeders’ Derby (RG3).
