R Gypsy Gold, a 7 1/2-length winner at Monmouth early in her 3-year-old season, was a credible third behind another Todd Pletcher sophomore, Buster's Ready (More Than Ready), in the GI Mother Goose S. Later in the season, the half-sister to MGSW Broadway's Alibi (Vindication) recorded a pair of wins over this track, including the 8 1/2-panel Real Prize S. Oct. 27 before rounding out the campaign with a sixth behind Awesome Feather (Awesome of Course) in the Nov. 26 GI Gazelle S. over nine furlongs at the Big A. In her only prior start this term, the E Paul Robsham homebred was a narrow second in the Mar. 17 Wayward Lass S. at Tampa and was given ample support to go one better here. Content to stalk a pumped up Tiz The Argument, who was pressed by a fresh Opus A, the bay began to inch up along the rail before being taken to the outside by Javier Castellano for the stretch drive. On even terms with Opus A as Tiz the Argument gave way along the inside, the fillies raced in tandem for a few strides before R Gypsy Gold forged ahead and was clear at the wire. The Pletcher/Robsham connection also teamed up yesterday for a first-out juvenile winner at Monmouth in the form of I Am Discreet (Discreet Cat).
