Trainer Larry Rivelli owns the Illinois-bred mare in partnership with Richard Ravin and Patricia’s Hope, LLC (Vince Foglia). Double Secret’, the 2015 winner, was owned and trained by Adolfo Exposito, who manages an eight-horse stable in the Ocala, Fla., area. Shrinking Violet (owned and trained by Wesley Ward), the 2014 winner, was a girl for all seasons and all racetracks. Her successful venture to Tampa Bay Downs for the Lightning City Stakes marked the 10th different track at which she had competed. Ward was an Eclipse Award winner as an apprentice jockey and is the son of Tampa Bay Downs trainer Dennis Ward. The 2013 winner, Smartys Emperoress, tied the stakes record in her Lightning City victory; in her only previous start at Tampa Bay Downs, she won a five-furlong allowance/optional claiming turf race in 55.42 seconds. The 2011 winner, Jenny’s So Great, was bred by pop singing star David Cassidy, perhaps best known for playing Keith Partridge on “The Partridge Family.” Jenny’s So Great was the first betting favorite to win the race since Bucky’s Prayer at the end of the 2006-07 season. Suzzona, the 2010 winner, also captured stakes at Pimlico, Monmouth and Parx. Trainer Kirk Ziadie has won two editions of the Lightning City Stakes: in 2005 with Whenthedoveflies and in 2006 with .Jewels N Gems. The purse for the Lightning City was increased from $75,000 to $100,000 for the 2014 renewal. 88
