Fionn Gets Past Laurelin Late To Take Jockey Club Oaks

[Wandering Eyes]

Fourth most recently in the GI Queen Elizabeth II Challenge Cup Stakes at Keeneland, FIONN (f, 3, Twirling Candy–Gaelic Gold, by Giant's Causeway) turned on the tables on that race's runner up, Laurelin (Ire) (Zarak {Fr}) to win Saturday's GIII Jockey Club Oaks at Aqueduct. Going three turns on the grass, the 7-5 second choice was quickly shuffled back to last after the break and rated just in behind her rival as longshot Don't Jinx It (Kitten's Joy) handled the pacemaking. The two rivals remained near the back of the field but Fionn was clearly staying just in Laurelin's tracks and, as the even-money favorite made her move around the far turn, Fionn wasn't far behind. With less than a furlong to run, the favorite made the front but Flavien Prat had Fionn rolling down the outside and just got up close to home to win. The final time for 1 3/8 miles was 2:17.22. Lifetime Record: 10-7-1-1.
