SELCOURT (f, 4, Tiz Wonderful–Azure Spring, by Open Forum), a 'TDN Rising Star' in her own right, blew the doors off Saturday's GII Santa Monica S. at Santa Anita as Paradise Woods (Union Rags) faded to a disappointing fourth. Marley's Freedom (Blame) took second while Skye Diamonds (First Dude) was third. The winner, who set the pace and scored by about six lengths, stopped the clock in 1:21.00. Selcourt had last been seen taking this venue's GIII Las Flores S. Feb. 18. Lifetime Record: 6-4-1-1. O-Abrahams, Medallion Racing & Lazaruk. B-Keith Abrahams (Ky). T-John W. Sadler.
