Successful Romance prepped with a bullet half in :48 out of the gate Apr. 22 and was the 3-2 chalk for her first start. Sent right to the lead, the bay had company early, but left them in her wake as she cruised home an 8 1/2-length winner. Lauren's Tizzy (Tiznow) came on to be second. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $25,420.
