Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted June 30, 2018 Journalists Share Posted June 30, 2018 Monomoy Girl (Tapizar) remains the heavyweight among this nation’s top sophomore dirt fillies, but Midnight Bisou (Midnight Lute-Diva Delite, by Repent) reminded her that she looms a threat through the second half of the season with an utterly dominating victory over the previously undefeated Road to Victory (Quality Road) in Saturday’s GII Mother Goose S. at Belmont Park. Whereas she raced from well off the pace when victorious two pack in the GI Santa Anita Oaks and-circumstantially-when third to Monomoy Girl in the GI Kentucky Oaks May 4, Midnight Bisou was ridden positively by Mike Smith and stalked the pace of her chief market rival, initially to her inside and then from her outside once Smith let her clear. Allowed to creep closer leaving the three-eighths point, Midnight Bisou was right alongside nearing the top of the lane and she kicked away from there with a minimum of fuss to score at will by about five lengths. Road to Victory managed to hold for second. Previously trained on the West Coast by Bill Spawr, Midnight Bisou was relocated to New York to best position her for the summer’s most important races in her division. Steve Asmussen now handles the training duties. Lifetime Record: 7-4-2-1. O-Bloom Racing Stable, Allen Racing LLC & Madaket Stables LLC; B-Woodford Thoroughbreds (KY); T-Steven Asmussen.
