Not This Time’s Dazzling Move Does The ‘Job’ in Royal Delta

[Wandering Eyes]

Grand Job (Justify) was the 4-5 jolly to take her U.S. record to three wins from as many starts in Saturday's GIII Royal Delta Stakes at Gulfstream Park, but her chief market rival DAZZLING MOVE (f, 4, Not This Time–Lady Liam, by Saint Liam) had other ideas, as she refused to lay down when push came to shove and was along in time to cause the minor upset. Grand Job, an open-lengths maiden winner at Aqueduct in November and in allowance company at Churchill Downs Dec. 1, was trying a two-turn route for the first time and succeeded in making the front, though had to go pretty hard to do so through fractions of :22.81 and :46.21. Dazzling Move, purchased privately out of her most recent effort and transferred from Mike Trombetta to Saffie Joseph, Jr., was kept well off the pace by Dylan Davis, but she began to methodically creep into it approaching the final quarter mile. Grand Job had a kick and looked as if she might see out the trip well enough, but Dazzling Move showed the superior stamina in the final stages and was shoved across the line first. Sales history: $85,000 RNA Ylg '22 KEESEP; $135,000 2yo '23 FTMMAY. Lifetime Record: 15-4-1-1. O-Miller Racing; B-Jesse Korona (ON); T-Saffie Joseph Jr.
