Corsia Veloce Stays Perfect In Natalma, Earns BC Bid

[Wandering Eyes]

Catch A Glimpse Stakes winner CORSIA VELOCE (f, 2, Practical Joke–Beth's Bling, by City Zip) stayed undefeated in three races as she took the GI Natalma Stakes at Woodbine for trainer Josie Carroll. Closing between horses from just off the rail, the 12-1 longshot had to out-close all comers including pacesetter La Culasse (Knicks Go) and Hot Mash (Not This Time) while 6-5 favorite Dance to the Music (GB) (Dubawi {Ire}) came with a last-ditch bid from last but could do no better than fourth. With the win, Corsia Veloce earned an automatic spot in the gate for the GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf at Del Mar in November. Lifetime Record: 3-3-0-0.
