Uni Wins the Sands Point

Uni | Chelsea Durand

UNI (GB) (f, 3, More Than Ready–Unaided {GB}), by Dansili {GB}) was imported from France after winning two of her six starts, including a stakes score in the Prix Matchem at Maisons-Laffitte in May. Third in the GI Belmont Oaks Invitational for these new connections July 8, the chestnut recently finished second, beaten less than a length, by 'TDN Rising Star' Proctor's Ledge (Ghostzapper) in the GII Lake Placid S. Aug. 19. Bet down to 6-5 favoritism here, the sophomore was hard held in traffic going around the opening bend and bided her time behind fractions of :25.67 and :49.99. Tipped out for clear sailing into the lane, she launched a prolonged rally to tag La Coronel (Colonel John) on the wire by a quarter-length. The final time was 1:48.97. Lifetime Record: 9-3-3-2, $462,880.
