Bohemian Frost shot to the front out of the gate with Averly Jane tracking in second. Gaffalione sent Averly Jane after the leader at the head of the stretch and then drew clear at the 1/16 pole. “She’s a naturally fast filly, most of (Ward’s) horses are,” Gaffalione said. “She jumped out well, but she just got out-sprinted for the lead. We didn’t want to get into a speed duel. I was able to get to the outside. When my filly hit the lane, she gave me everything she had.” The victory was worth $91,140 and increased Averly Jane’s earnings to $127,140 with 2 wins in 2 starts. She is a Kentucky-bred daughter of Midshipman out of the Richter Scale mare Sh Sh Shakin.
