Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted May 5, 2018 Journalists Share Posted May 5, 2018 AMADA RAFAELA (f, 3, Distorted Humor–Dust and Diamonds {MGSW & GISP, $496,260}, by Vindication) took all the money for her debut Saturday at Santa Anita and blasted away in the stretch to a ‘TDN Rising Star’-earning romp. Showing a sharp local worktab, highlighted by a six-furlong gate move in 1:11 3/5 (1/5) Apr. 23, the Three Chimneys homebred came away sharply as the 7-10 favorite before deferring to sit fourth, 1 1/2 lengths adrift of a :22.10 quarter. Cruising up past the leaders three deep on the bottom half of the turn, the bay quickly spurted clear after straightening for home and came home a dominant 8 1/4-length victress in 1:09.88. Hot Autumn (Tiz Wonderful) was second-best. The winner’s dam was a two-time graded stakes winner who ran second in the 2012 GI Breeders’ Cup Filly & Mare Sprint at this oval. Selling for $1 million at KEENOV in 2016, she has a juvenile colt by More Than Ready named Much Better who went for $600,000 at the same sale and a yearling filly by Pioneerof the Nile. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $32,400. O/B-Three Chimneys Farm LLC (KY); T-Bob Baffert. View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
