Stylish Win for Kalypso in La Brea

[Wandering Eyes]

David Bernsen and Gainesway's Kalypso (f, 3, Brody's Cause–Malibu Cove, by Malibu Moon) returned to the races with a stylish victory in the GI La Brea S. at Santa Anita Sunday. The 8-1 shot, making her first start since April, stalked the pace of Livingmybestlife (The Big Beast) through fractions of :22.11 and :44.92. Longshot Brilliant Cut (Speightstown) collared the pacesetter as they approached the stretch, but Kalypso ranged up three wide at the top of the lane and strode confidently to the lead before powering clear to win by four lengths. The time for the seven furlongs was 1:24.78. The La Brea was the fourth win on the holiday card for jockey John Velazquez.

Kalypso won the GII Santa Ynez S. over the same track and distance of the La Brea in January. She was second in the GIII Las Virgenes S. and third in the GIII Santa Ysabel before going to the sidelines after bleeding and being eased in the Apr. 30 GII Eight Belles S. Lifetime Record: 9-3-3-2. O-David A Bernsen LLC & Gainesway. B-Spendthrift Farm (Ky). T-Bob Baffert.
