Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted October 6, 2018 Journalists Share Posted October 6, 2018 WOW CAT (CHI) (f, 4, Lookin at Lucky–Winter Cat {Chi}, by Cat Thief), already a four-time winner at the highest level in her native Chile, captured her first American Grade I in style with a decisive score in Belmont’s GI Beldame S. Saturday. Favored at 6-5, the bay ran off the rail in fourth as MGSW Farrell (Malibu Moon) dueled Come Dancing (Malibu Moon) through opening splits of :23.59 and :46.88. Ranging up outside the top two on the backstretch run as Farrell threw in the towel, Wow Cat stuck her head in front turning for home and rolled clear in the lane to win as she pleased in 1:47.75. Divine Miss Grey (Divine Park) got up for second and Verve’s Tale (Tale of Ekati) was third. Wow Cat was a neck second, splitting Farrell and Verve’s Tale, as the heavy favorite in her U.S. debut in Saratoga’s GIII Shuvee S. July 29. She was a well-beaten third last time in that venue’s prestigious GI Personal Ensign S. Aug. 25, finishing 10 lengths behind the dynamic duo of champion Abel Tasman (Quality Road) and MGISW ‘TDN Rising Star’ Elate (Medaglia d’Oro). Lifetime Record: 11-9-1-1. O-Peter Brant & Stud Vendaval Inc.; B-Haras Paso Nevado (Chi); T-Chad Brown. View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
