Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted September 1, 2019 Journalists Share Posted September 1, 2019 PERFECT ALIBI (f, 2, Sky Mesa–No Use Denying, by Maria’s Mon), who survived a rough stretch duel to capture the GII Adirondack S. four weeks ago at Saratoga, showed her courage once again when digging in at the rail to deny favored Frank’s Rockette (Into Mischief) for the second straight time in the GI Spinaway S. Sunday at the Spa. A dominant 9 1/2-length winner on debut May 16 at Churchill, the dark bay narrowly missed when second in the Astoria S. June 6 at Belmont before bulling her way to victory in the Adirondack. Somewhat overlooked in the wagering to be 26-5 while Frank’s Rockette was backed to 9-5, Perfect Alibi settled second-last early behind a :22.65 quarter. Advancing steadily along the inside on the turn, she snuck through a rail opening at the top of the lane and hooked up with the favorite outside the furlong grounds. Those two threw down head and head until just inside the sixteenth marker, where Perfect Alibi began to prove superior, edging away to a 1 1/4-length score in 1:23.44. Sales History: $220,000 Ylg ’18 FTSAUG. Lifetime Record: 4-3-1-0, $398,488. O-Tracy Farmer; B-Pin Oak Stud LLC (KY); T-Mark E. Casse.
