After her dominant three year old season that saw her win both the KYO and the BC Distaff, among others, Wasted Away returned to the race track after some well deserved time off to make her four year old racing debut. This filly by Fire N Fury had not been wasting away over the last four months and successfully took care of business in the Beholder Mile just like we are used to her doing.
Grade I
Wasted Away Makes 2025 Debut in Beholder Mile
The Beholder Mile is the weekend’s lone Grade 1, taking place at SA for older females on the main track. It takes place for the 20th time this year, and for the tenth time here at SA after previously being held at HOL. The $300.000 purse has been common for the race in general, but it is a reduction from the $500.000 that we saw in 2022 and 2023.
Electric Blue Is Right at Home at SA; Wins Kilroe Mile
Electric Blue certainly loves it when he ends up at SA, and in the Kilroe Mile, he would make it a perfect 3-for-3 at this race track, with all of those wins being graded victories. Last time he was here, he won the Shoemaker Mile, a Grade 1, in May, and that was also the last time that he had won a race.
Bigchief Stables Captures SA Handicap with No More Rattle
We haven’t seen a lot of No More Rattle, as the six year old gelding was only making his sixth start since 2022, but he has made the most of the races he has been in. Coming into race off a third place run in the Hooper, he seemed like one of the top choices in the field and was the race’s post time favorite.
