Take Charge Milady Spoils Champion Immersive’s Return

[Wandering Eyes]

Take Charge Milady (f, 3, Take Charge Indy–Price too High, by Scat Daddy) defeated returning champion Immersive (Nyquist) by a neck in a thrilling renewal of Saturday's Monomoy Girl S. at Churchill Downs.

The latter, sidelined due to bone bruising and off as the 2-5 favorite in a scratched-down field of four, was making her first start since capping a four-for-four season in the GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies at Del Mar.

Take Charge Milady, winner of the Martha Washington S., second in the GI Ashland S. and 12th in the GI Kentucky Oaks, raced within striking distance in an outside third as Immersive tracked in an inside second through an opening quarter in :23.32. Take Charge Milady moved into second as Immersive raced in tight quarters on the far turn. Take Charge Milady revved up three wide as Immersive bounced off the tiring pacesetter Anna's Promise (Promises Fulfilled) at the top of the stretch. Take Charge Milady and Immersive put on a show from there with the former battling by after a long drive to deliver at odds of 4-1.

The final time for 1 1/16 miles was 1:43.17.

Sales history: $60,000 yrl '23 KEESEP.

Lifetime Record: SW & GISP, 8-3-2-0.
