Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted October 9, 2020 Journalists Share Posted October 9, 2020 Making just her second lifetime appearance in a true one-turn race and trying a distance as short as 5 1/2 furlongs for the first time in career start number 25, the classy GOT STORMY (m, 5, Get Stormy–Super Phoebe, by Malabar Gold) needed every inch of the Keeneland stretch, but was shoved across the line by Tyler Gaffalione to win Friday’s GIII Buffalo Trace Franklin County S. Got Stormy broke outward at the start, bothering Chalon (Dialed In) to her outside and settled near the back of the field through the opening exchanges. Not rushed into the race and given patient handling while racing with cover on the turn, the chestnut was steered out to the grandstand side, but had the better part of a six-length deficit to overcome with time ticking away. But the 9-10 favorite sustained her rally into the final furlong and dropped her nose down just ahead of Into Mystic (Into Mischief), whom she defeated into third in their previous head-to-head battle in the GIII Ladies’ Sprint S. at Kentucky Downs Sept. 12. Got Stormy covered her final three-sixteenths of a mile in an other-worldly :16.75. She sprinted her final 110 yards in :5.69. O-Gary Barber; B-Mt Joy Stables, Pope McLean, Marc McLean and Pope McLean Jr (KY); T-Mark Casse.
