Unbridled Forever took one step closer here to emulating her dam, an upset winner of the 2006 GI Kentucky Oaks for Dallas Stewart and Willis Horton, owner of Will Take Charge (Unbridled’s Song). Fifth on debut at Churchill Downs Oct. 27, the homebred returned to earn her diploma by 5 1/4 lengths under the Twin Spires–good for a 96 Beyer Speed Figure–when last seen Nov. 30. Supported as the even-money co-favorite for this sophomore debut, the bay was rated back to fourth and taken to the outside early by jockey Robbie Albarado. He unleashed her on the backstretch, and she made a steady climb up the outside to battle with fellow favorite Divine Beauty. The pair went stride-for-stride down the lane, with the determined Unbridled Forever drawing clear late for the score. Lemons Forever, a $2.5 million KEENOV purchase in 2007, has a 2-year-old full-sister and a yearling half-brother by Medaglia d’Oro. Click for the brisnet.com chart orVIDEO.
