Get Racing Dudes Premium Irish Maxima broke well from the inside post and led the six-horse field through an opening quarter-mile in 23.63 seconds and the half in 47.69 with Just F Y I tracking the speed under Junior Alvarado.Approaching the turn, Alvarado initiated his charge’s move from the outside, going three-wide to take command and draw away in the stretch to complete eight furlongs in 1:37.59. Central Avenue finished strong with a surge up the rail under Hall of Fame jockey Javier Castellano for second, with Like Talk, Emery, Irish Maxima and Princess Indy completing the order of finish.Hall of Fame trainer Bill Mott won his second Frizette overall and first in 25 years, with Just F Y I joining Confessional in 1998 as winners Mott saddled in the prestigious race for 2-year-old fillies.“[The track] was the big question and we didn’t know. You don’t know until you run them,” Mott said. “We thought she was a nice filly and, in this day and age, I guess if you break your maiden impressively you’re looking at going to a stakes race because there aren’t many allowance races.”Krikorian and Mott had about as good of a half-hour stretch as a horse owner and trainer combination could ever hope, racking up Grade 1 wins in consecutive races with War Like Goddess winning the Joe Hirsch Turf Classic in Race 4 before Just F Y I gave him the double in Race 5.“It’s very special. I couldn’t be more pleased. I’m ecstatic,” Krikorian said. “She [Just F Y I] had only run once before. Last time, she got to the lead right at the wire in that race. Going a longer distance, we were hopeful that distance was going to be helpful to her, which it turned out to be. With the bad weather and everything, you never know how the horses are going to do. She handled it all well and she handles everything well.”Added Mott: “It’s very special. [Mr. Krikorian] has been a very good client and he sends me some horses that he thinks are going to be OK. I have a small group of horses for him, but they are all quite nice.” 2023 Breeders’ Cup Off at 9-2, Just F Y I returned $11.60 on a $2 win bet. She improved her career bankroll to $277,750.“I was very happy with what I had under me the whole way around,” Alvarado said. “I was just hoping by the time I let her go, she wasn’t going to fool me. Right when I asked her, she started picking it up. She had that beautiful long stride. Right when she switched leads, I knew she would be OK turning for home. She finished up nice and strong.“I rode her at Saratoga and she ran a pretty good race,” Alvarado added. “We always knew that she would be a filly that would appreciate stretching out.”Central Avenue was also a debut winner in August, posting a half-length victory at Colonial Downs for trainer Michael Stidham. The Street Sense filly bested Life Talk by a half length for second in the black type effort.“She ran well. I like the way she did it today,” Castellano said. “She was very professional going inside on the rail. I cut the corner and there was a lot of kickback coming from behind horses. She handled it really well. It was only the second start of her career and the way she handled the kickback was nice. With a little more distance, she’ll do well. I was satisfied.” Join the Inner Circle Sign up for exclusive 10% discount on orders, plus be the first to access our daily free and premium horse racing picks, articles, podcasts, and more! Sign Up
