Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted October 9, 2023 Journalists Posted October 9, 2023 The undefeated Dreamfyre (f, 2, Flameaway–Appreciating, by Sky Mesa), both stretching out and trying turf for the first time, went straight to the front in Sunday's GIII Surfer Girl S. at Santa Anita. Sent at 9-5, she covered the first quarter in :23.55 and half in :48.59 with her ears flicking as Buttercream Babe (Twirling Candy) tested her from the outside while under a hard hold. Soho (City of Light) made a huge, eye-catching move on the turn but couldn't sustain her rally as the three lined up across the track coming into the lane. Dreamfyre wasn't done and neither was Buttercream Babe. The two battled to the wire with Dreamfyre holding on by a neck, but a lengthy stewards' inquiry and rider's claim of foul against the winner ensued. In the end, there was no change to the order of finish. Del Mar Juvenile Fillies Turf S. winner Flattery (Flatter) finished third. Dreamfyre was a $140,000 OBS April purchase. She broke her maiden on debut in Pleasanton's Everett Nevin S. before taking the GIII Sorrento S. at Del Mar. She is now three-for-three and a multiple graded stakes winner. O-Danny A. Eplin; B-John C. Oxley; T-O.J. Jauregui; T-Hector Berrios. Undefeated DREAMFYRE ($5.80) took them gate to wire and fought off a very game Buttercream Babe in the $200,000 Surfer Girl Stakes (G3) at @santaanitapark. @ojjauregui trained this Flameaway (@darbydanfarm) filly with @HIBerrios in the irons.
