VICTORY TO VICTORY (f, 3, Exchange Rate–Points of Grace {Ch. Grass mare-Can. & GSW, $502,353}, by Point Given) took a step forward in each of her three starts as a juvenile, culminating with a maiden-breaking win in the GI Natalma S. over a mile at Woodbine Sept. 18. The chestnut was forced to scratch from the Nov. 4 GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf after developing a minor injury and was subsequently honored as Canada's champion 2-year-old filly. Returning from an extended respite as the 4-5 favorite, the homebred emerged from the inside stall in willing fashion and dictated terms in the clear through fractions of :23.55 and :48.44 over the yielding going. It appeared that she might receive some pressure from a pursuer on the far turn, but she quickly spurted clear once again and bounded home a much-the-best two-length winner under minimal encouragement. The winner's dam is a Canadian champion in her own right and is a half-sister to Fatefully (Private Account), herself the dam of G1SW Favourable Terms (GB) (Selkirk).
