2 AQU The Bed o Roses Hcp (GII)
$200.000 3yo&Up F&M 7f Dirt Hcp Weights
A swing and a miss for both myself and The Card in this one… we had a minor upset as Rock Creek’s Silly Relleno, sent off at nearly 18/1 odds, gets the job done by a head and scores a nice payday taking The Bed O Roses Handicap. The bay filly covered the seven furlongs in 1:21.55 over the Fast main track, here at AQU. Esprezzo, from the Gdp Inc outfit, had the lead in the lane, but missed the head-bob, taking the second spot by a half length over Alydar Stables’ Smokin Cara in third, and another half length to Flyingbolt, owned by Mo Mentum Farm, in forth. Only five lengths from first to worst in this one.
