Contested closed willingly as the 2-1 choice in her debut while trying 5 1/2 furlongs at Del Mar Sept. 3, but had to settle for second behind Egg Drop (Alphabet Soup), beaten only a 1/2 length. Sent off the even-money choice to go one better this time, the bay broke quickly and was allowed to settle back in third through opening splits of :21.72 and :44.72. Forcing the issue from the outside turning for home, the filly powered to the front at the top of the lane and looked like the real deal as she rolled home a much-the-best 6 1/2-length winner over Music Thunder (Distorted Humor). Sales history: $110,000 yrl '10 KEESEP. Lifetime Record: 2-1-1-0, $39,600.
