(Saturday, November 10, 2007) - Ida Snow Man, powerful winner of the $20,000 6666 Ranch Handicap two weeks ago, made a late charge on the far outside of the racetrack to edge Sin Tacha Perry by head in Saturday's $30,000 B.F. Phillips Jr. Handicap at Lone Star Park. Wassup T Doc, who entered the race unbeaten in eight starts this year, finished a nose back in third.

The restricted Grade 3 race completed a stakes sweep for jockey Jeff Jerman, who earlier won the $15,000 Cassels Bruczest Arabian Stakes aboard Kryptonite CS.

Ida Snow Man, owned by Desirable Properties Inc. and trained by Michael Zingelmann, ran 400 yards in :20.049 and paid $3.60 to win as the 4-5 wagering choice.

The $18,900 winner's share of the purse jumped the 4-year-old gelding's earnings to $142,904. Since his debut in May of 2005, Ida Snow Man has won eight of his 23 starts.

The two stakes wins at the Lone Star Park meeting are the only added-money victories of his career.

In 2006, the son of This Snow Is Royal finished second in the Grade 1 Remington Park Derby.

Live racing returns to Lone Star Park on Wednesday with a nine-race program that begins at 6:35 p.m. CT. Next week's featured races include Texas Classic Derby trials on Friday and Texas Classic Futurity trials on Saturday.

Jess a Lil Bit More, the filly who set a stakes record (440 yards in :21.27) while winning the $214,500 Dash For Cash Derby, is expected to headline entries for the Derby trials, which will be taken Tuesday.

Dash For Cash Futurity champ Rock Solid Jess is expected to miss the Texas Classic Futurity due to injury, making fastest Dash For Cash Futurity qualifier and final favorite and runner-up Illegal Memories a strong contender when Futurity trial entries are taken Wednesday.

Only 10 live racing dates, or three weeks, remain at Lone Star Park's Fall Meeting of Champions, which concludes on Saturday, Dec. 1 - the same night of the Texas Classic finals.

NO STOPPING KRYPTONITE CS IN $15,000 CASSELS BRUCZEST ARABIAN STAKES

Eric and Randi Moreau-Sipiere's odds-on favorite Kryptonite CS, ridden by Jeff Jerman and trained by Greg Ketter, didn't disappoint in Saturday's $15,000 Cassels Bruczest Arabian Stakes at Lone Star Park with a comfortable, front-running 8 ¾-length victory over Oh My Goodness.

Kryptonite CS ran the first quarter mile in :25.67, the half in :51.32 and five-eighths in 1:06.42 before stopping the teletimer in 1:21.34 for six furlongs. Runner-up Oh My Goodness finished 3 ¾ lengths ahead of Kingpin CS.

Just Eddy, WMA Zebulun and You Bet completed the order of finish. Spring With Caily and Kowboy CS were late scratches.

Kryptonite CS paid $3.40 to win as the 3-5 betting favorite in the field of six Arabians. The Texas-bred 3-year-old improved his record to two wins and a second in three starts with earnings of $17,790. First place was worth $9,450.

Ed Wilson, the President of the Texas Arabian Breeders Association, presented the trophy to the winning connections.
