Nerazurri Cruises to $135,000 Trivista Stakes Win at Oaklawn

Nerazurri, a 4‑year‑old Protonico filly trained by Hall of Famer Mark E. Casse and ridden by Cristian Torres, won Friday’s $135,000 Trivista Overnight Stakes at Oaklawn Park on Feb. 27, 2026. The result and basic chart facts list Michael H. Eiserman as the owner and confirm Torres in the irons for the victory.

The original race report described Nerazurri’s outing as authoritative but left the full race narrative truncated: “Nerazurri was reported to have an authoritative performance, taking the ra”, the fragment appears in the supplied chart notes and the remainder of that description was not included in the excerpt. A second excerpt similarly breaks off when summarizing Nerazurri’s run from the Feb. 7 Bayakoa: “She raced with the pace and”, that phrase is preserved verbatim in the press excerpt.

Nerazurri arrives at Oaklawn with a compact but productive résumé. Ftboa’s pre-race profile notes she is “winner of two of her last three including the $135,000 Oaklawn Sport overnight stakes on New Year’s Day two starts back.” Ftboa also records that in the start between those wins she finished second to 2025 Champion 3-Year-Old Filly Nitrogen in the Grade 3 Bayakoa on Feb. 7. Career numbers shown in Ftboa list Nerazurri at four wins in 14 starts with $300,000 in earnings.

Trainer Mark E. Casse’s pre-race instructions matched the result sheet: Ftboa reported, “Casse will leg up Cristian Torres on Nerazurri and they are set to begin from post two.” Nerazurri did break from post two and Torres was listed as the rider in the official chart fragment supplied with the result.

The Trivista field was an experienced group of state-bred and restricted-company horses. Ftboa described it as a “field of eight fillies and mares that have never won a stakes outside state-bred or restricted company.” Prominent among Nerazurri’s rivals was Decadent, a Florida-bred trained by Ken McPeek, who entered from post four with Francisco Arrieta named to ride and listed at 12-1 on the morning line.

Ftboa’s Decadent profile offers a full picture of that rival: “Graded stakes-placed on turf last year as a sophomore, Florida-bred Decadent attempts to improve her black-type credentials Friday at Oaklawn Park in the $135,000 Trivista overnight stakes scheduled for a mile-and-one-sixteenth on dirt.” Decadent is by Girvin out of One More Minute by Istan, was bred in Florida by the late Brereton C. Jones, and owns two wins, two seconds and a third in eight starts while earning $195,720. Her recent form includes a fifth in the $135,000 Oaklawn Anywhere overnight stakes on Dec. 28 and a Feb. 15 $62,500 optional claiming loss by a length-and-a-half to Legal Express going a mile-and-one-sixteenth in the slop at Oaklawn.

Readers should note naming inconsistencies across the available materials: the race appears as the Trivista Overnight Stakes in several reports, Ftboa referenced a prior New Year’s Day win called the “$135,000 Oaklawn Sport overnight stakes,” and social media copy used the phrase “1st Running of the $135000 Oaklawn Sports Overnight Stakes.” The original post-race chart and press excerpts provided key facts, winner Nerazurri, trainer Mark E. Casse, jockey Cristian Torres, owner Michael H. Eiserman, Feb. 27, 2026 result, $135,000 purse, while some descriptive lines remained truncated in the supplied texts.
