Mendelssohn Filly on Top at Kentucky Downs

[Wandering Eyes]

Austere, never far from the lead, powered home to an easy three-length victory in the Global Tote Juvenile Fillies S. at Kentucky Downs Sunday. The dark bay filly settled in third and was within striking distance racing up the hill. Waiting for racing room nearing the stretch, she tipped out three wide at the top of the lane and reeled in pacesetting Bella Haze with a furlong to run before drawing clear to the wire. Bella Haze held on to second as Latte Lizzie and Kodiac Wintergreen (Ire) (Kodiac {GB}) closed in tandem.

Austere was cutting back to a mile after breaking her maiden going 1 1/16 miles over the Ellis Park lawn in her Aug. 13 debut. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by FanDuel TV.
