SILKY GIRL (f, 2, Scat Daddy–Beau Dare {MSW, $425,745}, by Military), fourth to subsequent GII Adirondack S. heroine Just Wicked (Tapit) when unveiled over this dirt strip July 24, caught a flyer from the bell of this turf bow and rolled out to an easy lead with a well-strung out field in tow. The 7-2 chance skated through fractions of :23.84 and :49.08, while not under the slightest bit of pressure and pilot Luis Saez still had a ton of horse after completing six furlongs in 1:13.96. Silky Girl was beginning to tire inside the final 50 yards, as 32-1 bomb Wedding Dress (Medaglia d'Oro) edged closer with every stride, but the latter's rally came too late, and Silky Girl held on for a half-length score. Beau Dare, a four-time stakes winner, has a weanling colt by Tale of the Cat and was bred back to that sire this year. The winner RNA'd for $105,000 as a KEESEP yearling . Lifetime Record: 2-1-0-0, $53,950. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by Fasig-Tipton.
