Tockyocky will remember the $4.010 spent at the Sept Auction, that much is for sure!  That’s where they acquired the filly Authority Figure, and she made it three wins in a row taking her first stakes victory in Saturday’s Gasparilla Stakes at TAM.  She got home in a final time of 1:22¹, going under the wire clear by three-quarters of a length.  My Poor Legs was the post time favorite, but just couldn’t get to the winner, settling for second and keeping her impressive career going, never running worse that second in seven starts.  It was another half-length to early pace-setter Baronica in third, and Doctor Quinn took the minor money.  Ten lengths covered the field.
