NEWSPAPEROFRECORD (IRE) (f, 2, Lope de Vega {Ire}–Sunday Times (GB), by Holy Roman Emperor {Ire}) took her perfect record to three-for-three with a simply sensational front-running victory in the GI Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf Friday. Earning the ‘TDN Rising Star’ nod with a 6 3/4-length romp over yielding sod in her 1 1/16-mile unveiling at Saratoga Aug. 19, she was equally dominant next out with a 6 1/2-length success in Belmont’s GII Miss Grillo S. over another yielding course Sept. 30. Hammered down to 3-5 favoritism to repeat at the World Championships, Newspaperofrecord did not disappoint. Seizing the early advantage, the bay loped along comfortably, clocking early fractions of :24.06 and :48.58. Still under a hand ride turning for home, the bay shot clear instantly when Irad Ortiz shook the reins at her at the top of stretch, sauntering home to a seemingly effortless eight-length victory in 1:39 flat. Longshot East (GB) (Frankel {GB}) completed the exacta. This victory is trainer Chad Brown’s fifth in 10 runnings of the Juvenile Fillies Turf. His past winners are Maram (2008), Lady Eli (2014), who was also piloted by Ortiz, New Money Honey (2016) and Rushing Fall (2017). Lifetime Record: 3-3-0-0.
