OHOOPEE (f, 2, Bee Jersey–Lady Ekati, by Tale of Ekati), who debuted as part of an uncoupled entry alongside favorite Diblasi (Win Win Win) for trainer Wesley Ward, did not let a field of colts intimidate her one iota. The 9-5 second choice came running out of the blocks and set the pace heading out of the chute. Continuing to carve out the fractions around the far turn, the filly sailed home a winner by three lengths over her stablemate. Since foaling the winner, Lady Ekati has handed her a pair of full-brothers with the latest being thrown Apr. 5. Ohoopee's second dam is MGSW Lady At Peace (Lord At War). Sales History: $11,000 Ylg '24 KEESEP. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $55,800. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by FanDuel TV.
