AHIMSA (f, 2, Animal Kingdom–Hot Affair, by Cuvee) took the field from gate-to-wire for an impressive debut graduation Friday night. Breaking sharply from her rail draw, the chestnut instantly took control, zipping through an opening quarter in :22.21 and a half in :45.46. Taking the field into the lane with Mike Smith still motionless in the irons, she kept on finding to hold all challengers at bay by 2 1/4 lengths on the line. Fellow firster Gracious Me (Into Mischief), a 22-1 shot, was second. The winner is the second foal out of Hot Affair, who produced a full-sister to the winner Feb. 23 of this year. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $24,000. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by Fasig-Tipton.
