Fast Anna’s Thorpedo Anna Stylish in Fantasy Win

[Wandering Eyes]

'TDN Rising Star' Thorpedo Anna (f, 3, Fast Anna–Sataves, by Uncle Mo), off since finishing second in last year's GII Golden Rod S., returned with a stylish victory in the GII Fantasy S. at Oaklawn Saturday. The dark bay filly settled off the pace as longshot Recharge (Gun Runner) set all the fractions. As the pacesetter began to falter, Thorpedo Anna was making a three-wide move into the stretch. She shrugged off a challenge from West Omaha (West Coast) at midstretch and sailed clear in the final furlong. Tapit Jenallie (Tapit) was third. The final time for the 1 1/16 miles was 1:44.24. The victory was the fourth on the day at Oaklawn Park for trainer Ken McPeek.

Thorpedo Anna romped home by 8 1/2 lengths in her Oct. 26 debut at Keeneland. She was tabbed a 'Rising Star' following a nine-length triumph in a Nov. 10 optional claimer. Stretched to 1 1/16 miles for the first time in the Golden Rod, she came home 5 1/4 lengths adrift of Intricate (Gun Runner).
