+ADORABLE MISS (f, 3, Kitten's Joy–Money Huntress, by Mineshaft) showed good speed and gameness to earn her diploma firstJ out at Gulfstream, becoming the third debut winner on the day for the Todd Pletcher barn. Coming in off a good series of works on both dirt and turf at Palm Beach Downs, capped off by a five-furlong main track breeze in 1:00 4/5 (2/20) Jan. 14, the $155,000 KEESEP buy tracked the speed from third at 9-2 through a :24.52 quarter. Moving up to within a head of the front passing a :48.30 half, the bay took over nearing the top of the stretch and dug in to repel Juddmonte firster Abbreviate (Harlan's Holiday), who lost momentum when swapping leads late, by a neck. Pletcher also scored earlier in the day with firsters in the good-looking Ghalia (Medaglia d'Oro) and maiden claimer Coors Lute (Midnight Lute). The victress is a full-sister to Noble Beauty, GSW, $162,100, while her second dam is GISW Favorite Funtime (Seeking the Gold). Money Huntress has a juvenile colt by Lookin At Lucky and foaled a colt by Real Solution last spring before returning to Kitten's Joy.$155,000 Ylg '15 KEESEP. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $22,800.
