The horse's name is Superstition Girl.

RET: Retama (Texas)
LS: Lone Star Park (Texas)
HOU: Sam Houston (Texas)
LA: Los Alamitos (CA)
SAC: fair meet unknown
SR: Santa Rosa (CA)
STK: Stockton (CA)
HST: Hastings Park (Canada)

I'm positive on everything but the SAC (Sacramento?) and HST (pretty sure there).

SAC is Sacramento...the races are held at Cal Expo. Interesting footnote here...I used to run in 5 and 10k's and one of them was held at Cal Expo. We had to run on part of the track (they had packed it down along the outside rail for us)...it was funny to see the horses looking out of their stalls at us. They were probably thinking "it's about time they do some running for us!" The track was deep and it was hot as heck that evening (low 90's)! Ran the 5k in a pedestrian 34:24...
