Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted Saturday at 08:46 PM Journalists Share Posted Saturday at 08:46 PM With 50 Oaks points on the line in Virginia Oaks at Colonial Downs, Fondly (Upstart–Lifetime Memory, by Istan) showed grit in the final jumps as she secured the haul for Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners. A winner on debut at Tampa back in mid-February, the 3-year-old filly led in the initial stages, but was soon joined by Anonima (Sharp Azteca). Fondly slugged it out with her rival and the pair took their battle inside the final furlong marker. However, it was the Graham Motion trainee who surged ahead before the wire. Early On (Union Rags) was up for second. The final running time was 1:42.51. Lifetime Record: 2-2-0-0. Sales History: $50,000 '23 FTKOCT. O-Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners; B-Brereton C Jones (KY); T-H. Graham Motion. Fondly stretches out and remains perfect in the Virginia Oaks! Onto the Kentucky Oaks! @grahammotion trains and @iradortiz was aboard!
