Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted August 10, 2023 Journalists Share Posted August 10, 2023 Reeves Thoroughbred Racing and Steven Rocco's MISS D'OR CHERIE (f, 2, Bolt d'Oro–Above Fashion, by Paddy O'Prado) was drawn widest in a nine-strong field for Thursday's state-bred maiden at Saratoga and turned in a most professional debut effort to open her account at first asking. Outsprinted through the opening exchanges by Snarky (Redesdale), who won the break from the rail, the $300,000 OBS April acquisition showed ample early pace to sit right off the leader's flank from second. Inching closer still at the midway point of the turn, the dark bay eased to the front with a bit more than a quarter-mile to travel, pinched a break entering the final furlong and went on to score by about three lengths as the 14-5 favorite. The once-raced Book of Wisdom (Solomini) ran on gamely for second while no menace to the winner. Miss d'Or Cherie also sold for $72,000 as a weanling at the 2021 Fasig-Tipton November Sale and again at that auction house's Kentucky July Yearling Sale, where she fetched $160,000. Sales history: $72,000 Wlg '21 FTKNOV; $160,000 Ylg '22 FTKJUL; $300,000 2yo '23 OBSMAR.
