+BELIEVE IN BERTIE (f, 2, Langfuhr–Saint Bertie, by Street Cry {Ire}) worked steadily at her trainer's Churchill Downs base dating back to July 1 and shipped north to finalize her preparations for this career unveiling with a four-panel breeze over the Oklahoma turf course in :49.33 Aug. 24. Away to a sharp beginning, the 5-1 shot asserted herself as the pacesetter around the opening bend as a number of rivals exchanged bumps in a scramble for position behind her. Allowed to coast along unopposed through fractions of :24.45 and :50.04, the homebred found more in the lane and reported home 2 1/2 lengths in front. Favored On Leave (War Front), a half to GII Dixie S. winner Ironicus (Distorted Humor), closed well to complete the exacta. The winner's second dam is MGSW Allamerican Bertie (Quiet American).
