Gamine (Into Mischief), who sold to Michael Lund Petersen for an auction-record $1.8 million at the Fasig-Tipton Midlantic 2-Year-Olds in Training Sale two months ago, continued to train forwardly in Southern California for Bob Baffert. The filly turned in a bullet five-furlong work at Del Mar Thursday, covering the distance from the gate in 1:00.00 (1/48).
“She is training like a good one,” Baffert reported. “She's very classy and has a great mind.”
Gamine, out of stakes placed Peggy Jane (Kafwain), worked the co-bullet furlong of :10 flat before Petersen made his record-setting bid at the Midlantic sale. She was consigned to the sale by Bobby Dodd and had been purchased by Brad Grady's Grand Oaks for $220,000 at last year's Keeneland September sale.
“She'll probably make a start in August,” Baffert said when asked about the filly's expected debut.
Francis and Barbara Vanlangendonck's Summerfield, on behalf of Stonestreet, will offer Gamine's yearling half-brother by Speightstown (hip 81) at the upcoming Fasig-Tipton Saratoga Sale.
