Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted April 8, 2018 Journalists Share Posted April 8, 2018 MIDNIGHT BISOU (f, 3, Midnight Lute–Diva Delite, by Repent) will head to Churchill next month as one of the likely favorites for the GI Kentucky Oaks after an eye-catching victory in the GI Santa Anita Oaks Saturday. Running second last early as Thirteen Squared (Liaison) clocked early fractions of :23.47 and :47.63, the 3-5 chalk circled the field to move into contention on the backstretch run. The dark bay swept to the lead in the stretch and rolled clear down the three path to win by three lengths in 1:44.79. GII Sorrento S. winner Spectator (Jimmy Creed) made a solid run for second. Winning rider Mike Smith scored a Grade I double, having captured the GI Santa Anita Derby two races earlier aboard undefeated ‘TDN Rising Star’ Justify (Scat Daddy). Missing by a nose to recently sidelined Grade I winner Dream Tree (Uncle Mo) in her first two starts, including the Nov. 18 Desi Arnaz S., Midnight Bisou earned her diploma with a decisive victory in the GII Santa Ynez S. going seven panels here Jan. 7. The $80,000 OBSAPR buy followed suit with a 2 1/4-length defeat of Thirteen Squared in the GIII Santa Ysabel S. Mar. 3. Lifetime Record: 5-3-2-0. O-Bloom Racing Stable & Allen Racing; B-Woodford Thoroughbreds (KY); T-Bill Spawr. View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
