Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted August 9, 2018 Journalists Share Posted August 9, 2018 Phoenix Thoroughbreds’ Lyrical Lady (More Than Ready) coasted to an easy victory on opening day at Saratoga at nearly 7-1, and she figures to be close to a tenth of that price when going postward in Saturday’s GII Adirondack S. at Saratoga. Picked up for $625,000 at OBS March after breezing a quarter-mile in :20 3/5, the dark bay encountered a field of well-meant fillies here July 20 and ran them all off their feet to score by 5 3/4 lengths and earn a ‘TDN Rising Star’ designation. Todd Pletcher has won the Adirondack five times, and he aims to take home its trophy for the third straight year with a pair of runners, headed by St. Elias Stable and MeB Racing Stable’s Virginia Eloise (Curlin), who romped at odds-on in her unveiling July 4 at Belmont. The other half of Pletcher’s uncoupled entry is Repole Stable’s Guacamole (Flat Out), who was put up via a controversial disqualification in a local off-the-turfer July 26. Ten Broeck Farm’s Mucho Amor (Mucho Macho Man) has been unseen since her debut win Apr. 26 at Keeneland, but returns with a bullet half-mile in tow for trainer Wesley Ward, covering the distance in :47 2/5 (1/49) Aug. 3. Fortune Farm’s Sue’s Fortune (Jump Start) takes a step into open company after crushing a field of New York-bred fillies by 8 1/2 lengths in her career bow July 5 at Big Sandy.
