2 OP The Fantasy (GIII) [KYO]
$750.000 3yoF 1 1/16m Dirt 122lbs
First and third… the picks were ok in this one. Nazca Lines, owned by Delta Farms, is the real deal… while dismissed at nearly 5/1 odds, the gray filly used her usual late/closing kick to fly by the field and secure the win, adding The Fantasy (GIII) to her resume’ and solidifying her as one of the favorites for the KYO. That’s three consecutive graded wins, four wins in a row, and even a solid third in her debut… she’s tough. Pinnacle Reject tried to make a race of it, but just didn’t have an answer in deep stretch, taking the second spot by a length over the third place DH between Cute Puppies and Let Me Explain, the latter being the post time favorite. The final running time was 1:41.82 and only six lengths covered the field of twelve.
