( Content Continues Below Ad ) “She didn’t get to the break I hoped for but she bounced back really quickly and ran really easy in the early going. She showed what a champion she was and I was very proud of my filly.” Said winning Jockey John Velazquez. Sconsin, Estilo Talentoso, and Bell’s the One completed the order of finish in the Derby City Distaff. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JjNvhHJkt4M This is Gamine’s 5th stakes win of her career and 2nd of her 4-year-old season. The 4-year-old daughter of Into Mischief improved her career record to 8-7-0-0 and has now earned $1,286,500 for owner Michael Lund Petersen. “I didn’t know I was that close to the record until a month ago. To do it here on this big day is very special. I’m just happy for Gamine. She got the job done. I told Johnny (Velazquez) that this was the first time she’s run before a crowd. She was looking around. So many things can go wrong but once I saw her down the backside, I knew we were in the clear.” Said winning trainer Bob Baffert. Gamine returned to $2.40 to win, $2.20 to place, $2.10 to show. Full Card Plays Now Available There’s a reason we’re the #1 trusted source for premium racing picks & info. Find Out Why
