The favorite wins and then it got interesting in Saturday’s Suwannee River (GIII)… Poetic Panther, from the Maletto barn, was a bit more reserve today, and that always spells bad news for her foes. Saving ground along the inside, the gray moved up when asked into the lane, taking the lead and pulling away late to win by a length (it was more) while stopping the clock at 1:32.81 for the flat mile on the non-existent inner turf at GP. Becky Does Extremo showed little early interest but exploded thru a small seam mid-lane and ran up to be second, just a head better than 60/1 long-shot Cmonyall in third, then another head to Peacestone in fourth. Six lengths covered the field of ten.
