Churchill Filly Poolside With Slim Sits The Trip In the Valley View

[Wandering Eyes]

Sent off at odds just shy of 3-1, POOLSIDE WITH SLIM (IRE) (f, 3, Churchill {Ire}–Kissepal {Ire}, by Epaulette {Aus}) was produced through a narrow opening at the fence by Frankie Dettori and after a moment's hesitation, kicked on and outgamed pacesetting Pharoah's Wine (American Pharoah) to win Friday's GII Bank of America Valley View Stakes on the penultimate day of racing at Keeneland. A troubled fourth to Valley View favorite Les Reys (Fr) (Penny's Picnic {Ire}) when last seen in the Winter Memories Stakes at Aqueduct Sept. 13, Poolside With Slim–who carried Dettori to a victory in the Penn Oaks earlier this season–was first away from the machine and led through the opening exchanges, but came back nicely to the Italian and sat the box-seat from fourth as 25-1 Pharoah's Wine took them along at a steady gallop. Poised if good enough turning for home, Poolside With Slim was asked for her best and went for the rails run as Pharoah's Wine vacated the fence. She took a few strides to hit her top gear, but she dug in bravely and kept on determinedly to become the first North American graded winner for her Coolmore Stud-based stallion. Sales history: €110,000 Ylg '22 GOFORB. Lifetime Record: 8-3-1-0. O-Glenn S Bromagen II, Patrick Lewis & Sandra Bromagen; B-Kilweelran Ltd; T-Rusty Arnold.
