Tapit Filly Overcomes Wide Trip for Sharp Maiden Win at Del Mar

2nd-DMR, $70,500, Msw, 8-27, 2yo, f, 1m, 1:37.92, ft.
JADE PRINCESS (f, 2, Tapit–Jade Queen {MGISP, $293,232}, by Giant's Causeway), a well-beaten fifth as the 6-5 chalk after getting bumped at the start in her Del Mar unveiling Aug. 9, put it all together while overcoming a wide trip with this stretch to two turns here. Removing the blinkers, the 7-2 shot sat within striking distance early after taking the first turn three wide. With Victor Espinoza aboard, the gray made a powerful sweeping move on the turn for home and drew off down the lane to graduate by 5 1/4 lengths over Shakti (Run Away and Hide). Heavily favored Treasuring (Smart Strike) tired in the stretch to finish a well-beaten third after setting the pace. Sales history: $775,000 Ylg '14 KEESEP. Lifetime Record: 2-1-0-0, $43,400.
