Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted October 13, 2018 Journalists Share Posted October 13, 2018 RUSHING FALL (f, 3, More Than Ready–Autumnal, by Forestry) had her coming out party at Keeneland last fall when winning the GIII J.P. Morgan Chase Jessamine S. over a soft course and returned to Lexington a year later to claim her second Grade I victory in Saturday’s Queen Elizabeth II Challenge Cup. The bay, who was hard sent to the front soon after the break, settled nicely beneath Javier Castellano and clicked off measured fractions of :23.91 and :49.22. Bracing for a challenge from Euro invader Mission Impassible (Ire) in upper stretch, she rebuffed that one’s challenge and kicked home a decisive winner. The final time for nine furlongs was 1:50.42. Rushing Fall won all three of her starts in 2017, capped by a score in the GI Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf in November. After kicking off her 2018 season with a win in Keeneland’s GII Appalachian S., she took a tough beat when a narrowly beaten second behind Toinette (Scat Daddy) in the GIII Edgewood S. at Churchill in May. She rebounded with a convincing win in the GII Lake Placid S. at Saratoga Aug. 18 and prepared for this return to Keeneland at Chad Brown’s Belmont base. Sales History: $320,000 yrl FTSAUG ’16.
