Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted November 24 Journalists Share Posted November 24 Looking to snag the first graded stakes score of her career, it was Mrs. Astor (Lookin At Lucky–Causal, by Creative Cause) who came home a winner in the GIII Red Carpet Stakes at Del Mar Thoroughbred Club on Sunday afternoon. The 4-year-old filly shipped in for trainer Jonathan Thomas and was able to put in a couple of works over the local course in preparation for this particular start. Backed as a 9/2 shot here, the homebred settled towards the rear as the field made their way past the grandstand for the first time and eventually up the backstretch. Towards the far turn, favorite Forever After All (Connect) was forced to check hard when Marksman Queen (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) impeded her path. Mrs. Astor targeted the fading leader down the lane and used her late speed to get up in time by a length over the chalk. The final running time was 2:16.82. An inquiry by the stewards into the aforementioned incident involving Forever After All yielded no change in the results. Lifetime Record: 15-3-4-3. O/B-Augustin Stables; T-Jonathan Thomas. #5 MRS. ASTOR ($11.60) holds on to win the $100,000 Red Carpet Stakes (G3) at @DelMarRacing.
