Botanical Perfect At Turfway With Bourbonette Oaks Score

Botanical | Coady

Undefeated since announcing her arrival to Turfway Park with a 10 3/4-length romp to break her maiden last November, Botanical followed that performance up with two more jaw-dropping efforts at a mile on the tapeta including a last-out win in the Cincinnati Trophy S. Mar. 4. Off that race, which earned her a 91 Beyer Speed Figure, Botanical was slammed in even-money favoritism for her fourth straight Turfway appearance. Given the extra sixteenth to work with, the bay showed a good turn of foot from the blocks to set the pace from the opening strides, keeping things mild up front with a :24.58 opening quarter. Flashy Gem chased throughout but Botanical's win was never in doubt and she only increased the gap down the lane, pulling away to defeat Flashy Gem–who had chased valiantly throughout–handily. The winner, her dam's first foal, has a 2-year-old Omaha Beach half-brother and a yearling half-brother by Into Mischief. Her dam returned to the leading general sire for a 2023 foal.
