Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted October 5, 2018 Journalists Share Posted October 5, 2018 Runaway Churchill Downs debut winner Covfefe (Into Mischief) looks to punch her ticket to the GI Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies in Sunday’s ‘Win and You’re In’ GI Frizette S. at Belmont Park. The LNJ Foxwoods colorbearer set the pace beneath the Twin Spires in that aforementioned Sept. 16 six-furlong affair and couldn’t have been more impressive after a shake or two of the reins down the lane, drawing off to win by 9 1/4 lengths. She tuned up for this with a five-furlong bullet in :59 1/5 (1/12) at Brad Cox’s Churchill base Oct. 1. “That was about as impressive as you can get with a first-time starter,” Cox said. “We’ve thought very highly of her all along and she showed she’s the real deal.” The New York-bred Sue’s Fortune (Jump Start) made it a perfect two-for-two with a half-length win in Saratoga’s GII Adirondack S. last time Aug. 11. Whisper Hill Farm homebred Graceful Princess (Tapit), a daughter of 2011 Horse of the Year and $10-million FTKNOV graduate Havre de Grace (Saint Liam), kicked off her career with a front-running victory going seven furlongs at the Spa Sept. 2. Cassies Dreamer (Flatter), claimed for $50,000 out of a winning debut upstate Aug. 3, rallied late for third at 68-1 in the GI Spinaway S. Sept. 1.
