Las Virgenes Stakes – Grade 3 (KYO) – $200.000

SA – 1 Mile – Dirt

For Fillies Three Years Old

Overlooked and underestimated, Up She Flew proved her quality, winning the Las Virgenes by a length and earning 20 KYO points in the process in a field packed with talent. Sixth out of the gate, she was never more than a length off the pace and took control with less than a quarter mile to run.

Complete Order of Finish:

1 Up She Flew (Aer Stables) Stalked the pace and pulled away to win by a length.

2 Dolly P (Arindel) Stalked the pace but couldn’t get by the winner.

3 Muddy Buddy (Mb Stables) Another stalker, took the lead briefly, then settled for third.

4 Cold Storage (Rock Creek) Led early but was outrun and finished fourth.

5 A Lot To Like (LionKing Stables) Ran a steady mid-pack race; never a factor.

6 Perfect Illusion (Allinthegate) Close early but faded to sixth.

7 Gumption (Alydar Stables) Never involved.

8 Proud Passion (South Shore Stables) Never a factor.

Up She Flew is the daughter of The Sodfather, out of Bien (Good Authority). The win brings her career earnings to $314.440 and her KYO points total to 27, landing her in third place on the qualifiers list. Congratulations to Aer Stables and Up She Flew!
