Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted September 4, 2018 Journalists Share Posted September 4, 2018 RAYANA (f, 2, Scat Daddy–Tipping Point, by Speightstown) showed speed from her outside draw and never looked back, taking them all the way and giving Bob Baffert a rare turf juvenile winner on closing day at Del Mar. Picked up for $130,000 as a Keeneland September yearling, the Arkansas-bred showed a steady string of stamina-building works for this unveiling, capped by a six-furlong spin in 1:14 flat (3/3) on the local main Aug. 28. Given a 3-1 chance, the dark bay broke sharply and pulled her way to the front, leading clear through fractions of :22.97 and :46.98. Held together strongly by leading rider Drayden Van Dyke, she turned for home with her ears pricked, lengthened her stride to create an unassailable advantage and came home a 1 1/4-length victress over odds-on Colonial Creed (Jimmy Creed). The running time for the mile was 1:35.98, which was 1.19 seconds faster than ‘TDN Rising Star’ Summering (War Front) ran in taking the Del Mar Juvenile Fillies Turf S. four races earlier. The winner has a yearling half-sister by Icon Ike named Tailorbeswift and a weanling Blame half-brother. Her dam was bred to Ordained this season. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $36,000. O-Sheikhk Rashid Bin Humaid Al Nuaimi; B-James W. Matheney, Jr. (AR); T-Bob Baffert. View the full article Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
