+VOLATILITY INDEX (f, 4, Mizzen Mast–Zula, by Medaglia d'Oro) took a lot of play for this debut and graduated with a powerful stretch kick at Gulfstream for Chad Brown and Klaravich Stables. Coming in with a steady series of half-mile drills over the Palm Meadows turf, wrapping up her preparation by going an easy :49 2/5 (9/17) Jan. 9, the bay was made a narrow 13-5 second favorite and broke alertly to stalk the pace from a distant second through a :23.04 quarter. Moving up to the leader's flank as the pace slowed to a :49.33 half up the backstretch, Volatility Index was under very confident handling nearing the top of the lane and exploded away once given her cue to score by 5 3/4 lengths. Believe in Angels (Flatter) finished second. The victress has an unraced 3-year-old Dunkirk half-sister named Aeroscout and a juvenile half-sister by Run Away and Hide.
