Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted September 22, 2018 Journalists Share Posted September 22, 2018 She needed some help from the stewards to do it, but MIDNIGHT BISOU (f, 3, Midnight Lute–Diva Delite, by Repent) finally got the better of leading sophomore filly Monomoy Girl (Tapizar) in Saturday’s GI Cotillion S. The GI Santa Anita Oaks heroine had been third to that one in the GI Kentucky Oaks and second to her in the GI Coaching Club American Oaks, and was cutting back to her seeming preferred 1 1/16-mile distance off a third in the 10-furlong GI Alabama S. Aug. 18. Monomoy Girl, meanwhile, was looking for a sixth win from as many starts this season and was heavily favored. Relaxed off a fairly crowded pace that saw Monomoy Girl stuck on a dead rail, Midnight Bisou emerged as the chalk’s only challenger as that one entered the lane well clear. Mike Smith on Midnight Bisou opted to attempt to go inside of Monomoy Girl in upper stretch, but that foe shut off her path. He then looked to go outside, but again Monomoy Girl went in the same direction while getting out on Florent Geroux. Monomoy Girl stuck the wire a neck to the good, but had carried Midnight Bisou out a number of paths in the process and was subsequently taken down after Smith lodged an objection.
