Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted August 25, 2018 Journalists Share Posted August 25, 2018 Favored to give Hall of Fame trainer Bob Baffert a first victory in the GI Ballerina S. at Saratoga, MARLEY’S FREEDOM (f, 4, Blame–Relaxing Green, by Formal Gold) was content to race out wide, but came to pacesetting Finley’sluckycharm (Twirling Candy) in upper stretch and kicked it into another gear to score by about four lengths. Settled in about fifth, within range, but about four off the inside in the run to the turn, the $35,000 Keeneland September purchase was scrubbed on to take closer order at the five-sixteenths. Spun about four deep into the lane, Marley’s Freedom took her independence from her rivals with a furlong to come and reported home a much-the-best winner. The lightly raced Still There (Union Rags) bobbled at the break, but recovered to race just behind the leaders and was game in second, while the pace-pressing Lewis Bay (Bernardini) picked up her fifth career Grade I placing in third. Marley’s Freedom is the third top-level winner for her Claiborne-based stallion and second this season, joining Santa Margarita S. romper Fault. Lifetime Record: 12-6-2-0. O-Cicero Farms LLC; B-Jack Swain III (KY); T-Bob Baffert. View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
