AMO Racing's Britain (Quality Road–Toasting, by Congrats) made her second start a winning won, striding home a comfortable two-length winner at Aqueduct on Thursday afternoon.
Debuting with a third behind next-out stakes winner Shilling (Global Campaign) over this track and trip on Oct. 16, she was installed the 3-5 choice to get it done in this second go. A tad tardy off the blocks, the pricey New York-bred filly inched her way into contention along the inside as Backstreets (Connect) cut out an opening quarter mile in :23.08. Starting to gear up through a :47.14 half mile, Britain was shifted to the pacesetter's outside turning for home, took over in the stretch and drew off to win by a solid two-length margin over Interstatelovesong (Bolt d'Oro). Fellow Chad Brown runner Pomerance (Curlin) was third.
Out of MSW and GISP Toasting, Britain has a yearling younger brother by Uncle Mo. Toasting was bred back to Cody's Wish on the latest cover.
A $350,000 FTSAUG yearling purchase, the filly realized $1,050,000 at this year's OBSMAR Sale.
