Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted April 28, 2019 Journalists Share Posted April 28, 2019 PARADISE WOODS (m, 5, Union Rags–Wild Forest, by Forest Wildcat), who had gone winless since September 2017, proved herself all over again with a tour de force victory in the GII Santa Margarita S. Saturday at Santa Anita. Last entering the winner’s circle after a 5 1/2-length conquest of the GI Zenyatta S. as a sophomore, she was third in that year’s GI Breeders’ Cup Distaff and a close second in the GI La Brea S. She hadn’t come close in her next four outings, but showed some signs of life when third at 14-1 in the GI Beholder Mile S. last out here Mar. 30. Breaking a bit outwardly as the 3-5 chalk in this spot, the bay was kept well off the rail by Mike Smith as she tracked from second through splits of :23.37 and :47.35. Taking charge in hand three furlongs out, the only question soon became how far, and she cantered in nine lengths to the good of La Force (Ger) (Power {GB}) while well in hand. The final running time was 1:51.95. Lifetime Record: GISW, 14-4-2-3, $945,890. O-Wygod, Wygod or Sarkowsky; B-Herman Sarkowsky (KY); T-John Shirreffs.
