Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted April 13, 2024 Journalists Posted April 13, 2024 Adare Manor (m, 5, Uncle Mo–Brooklynsway, by Giant Gizmo), who so often shows her best on the front end, took her California form on the road and got back to the winner's circle with a half-dozen-length score in Oaklawn's $1.25-million GI Apple Blossom S. Saturday. The 3-5 choice, the dark bay went clear early, running comfortably with her ears flicking back and forth, and set fractions of :23.68 and :46.95 while Honor D Lady (Honor Code) applied pressure to her outside. Adare Manor quickened on the turn and opened up by daylight to sizzle home an authoritative winner, getting the 1 1/16 miles in 1:42.48. Flying Connection (Nyquist) closed late to nab second over Free Like a Girl (El Deal). Last year's GI CCA Oaks winner Wet Paint (Blame), previously unbeaten in three stakes at Oaklawn, never got involved and finished off the board. Winner of last summer's GI Clement L. Hirsch S. at Del Mar, Adare Manor kicked off her 5-year-old campaign for Bob Baffert with a runner-up finish as the favorite in the GI Beholder Mile S. at Santa Anita Mar. 9. Lifetime record: 16-8-5-0. O-Michael Lund Petersen; B-Town & Country Horse Farms, LLC & GaryBroad (Ky); T-Bob Baffert. #4 ADARE MANOR scampered away! The 3-5 choice wins the $1.25 million Apple Blossom Handicap (G1) under @JJHernandezS19 for trainer Bob Baffert.
