+LADY (f, 2, Malibu Moon–Tortuga Lady, by Thunder Gulch), bet down to 4-1 from a 10-1 morning-line, broke a step slower than the rest and ran four wide near the back of the pack, but began to pick it up as they clocked a first quarter in :22.78. Quickly advancing up the outside to be third entering the far turn, the bay tipped in to the rail in early stretch and ran down pacesetting Wicked Is Good (Diabolical) in the final furlong to graduate by 2 3/4 lengths. Runaway Nonny (Run Away and Hide) came running late to beat out Wicked is Good for second. The winner is a half-sister to Princess Arabella (Any Given Saturday), SW, $188,400; and Dyna's Lassie (Dyanformer), SW & MGSP, $182,825. Her dam produced a Speightstown colt this year and was bred back to Super Saver. Sales history: $160,000 Ylg '15 KEESEP; $255,000 RNA 2yo '16 FTFMAR. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $11,280.
