+SPICE LADY (f, 3, Speightstown–My American Girl {SP}, by Quiet American) took all the play for her debut and rewarded her backers by overcoming a slow start to register an off-the-pace score at Gulfstream. Coming in off a bullet gate breeze at Palm Beach Downs in :50 flat (1/8) Feb. 20, the chestnut was backed to 6-5 favoritism and broke a length or two slowly from her rail draw. Hustled up the backstretch by John Velazquez to travel fourth behind a :22.94 quarter, Spice Lady ranged up to challenge four-deep at the five-sixteenths pole and swept to the lead at the top of the stretch before beating back a resilient Afleet Tizzy (Tizway) by three-quarters of a length in 1:05.38. The winner is a full to Speightscity, GSP, $235,591. Her second dam is GSW My Girl Jeannie (Hostage). Sales History: $140,000 Wlg '14 KEENOV; $150,000 Ylg '15 KEESEP. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $22,800. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by Fasig-Tipton.
