Golden Rod – Grade II [KYO]
1 1/16 Mile Dirt Stake Purse $200.000 Filly 2 Year Olds.

1st Dream Whisperer Mb Stables Leparoux J R

The pace of this race being slow allowed this wide drawn daughter of Decima to take up a loose stalk from the off and that was a key fact in her getting home today. She showed plenty of fight to get home by a nose and this was a good return to the dirt after a short campaign on turf.

2nd Queens Command Allinthegate Lanerie C J

Ran a super race in her first effort in this sort of grade closing hard and just failing in the end. She should step up from this and looks a good prospect for the stable.

3rd Book Of Aggravation Estero Farms Geroux F

Ran the stalk but just whacked away at the one pace in the end finishing third but only beaten a half length. With two great efforts at this level she will be a better filly next year and looks a good hope going forward.

4th Red Lucy The Sidley Stud Gaffalione T

This was a good effort making loads of ground from a long way back off a slow pace. This was a better run than fourth place suggests and i am sure she will find plenty of success in the future.

SUMMARY

With less than a length covering the first 6 and only 5 lengths from first to twelfth it really is impossible to weigh up this form going into the KYO qualifying races.
