3rd-Tampa Bay Downs, $32,000, Msw, 2-8, 3yo, f, 6 1/2f, 1:16.07, ft, head.
CASSIAR (f, 3, City of Light–Nellie Cashman {GSW, $349,839}, by Mineshaft), one of four first timers who made the gate, the filly proved best when it mattered most. Overlooked as a 12-1 shot here, the longshot exited the outside gate and was up near the pace rolling towards the far turn. Salted (Tapit) assumed control around the far turn, but the 3-year-old was moving within striking distance. In the shadow of the wire, Cassiar poked her head in front to get her picture taken over the late-running She's a Gemma (Nyquist). Favorite Kiss Me Slow (Into Mischief) was sixth. The winner is a half-sister to Bendoog (Gun Runner), G1SP-UAE, GSP-USA, $764,816. Nellie Cashman foaled a filly by Mitole last year and was entered in Mandaloun's book for this season. Sales History: $400,000 Ylg '23 FTSAUG. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $18,560. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by FanDuel TV.
