+WHAT A SPOT (f, 3, Arch--Eversmile, by Theatrical {Ire}), a half-sister to MGISW Coil (Point Given), was given odds of 5-1 for her debut here. Settling into a stalking position through opening fractions of :22 2/5 and :46 1/5, she began to roll when put under pressure at the quarter pole. Three wide at the top of the lane, the blaze-faced bay used the length of the stretch to wear down Ridingwiththedevil (Candy Ride {Arg}) to win by a neck. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $33,600.
