1st-Kentucky Downs, $180,800, Msw, 8-31, 2yo, f, 1mT, 1:35.60, fm, 2 1/4 lengths.
DESTINO D'ORO (f, 2, Bolt d'Oro–Heart of Destiny {GISP, $242,089}, by Lion Heart), debuting at 8-1 in her first start since bringing $185,000 at OBS April earlier this year, found herself towards the back of the field after a slightly awkward beginning and was kept off the pace on the outside as Wonderland (Medaglia d'Oro) set speedy fractions of :23.06 and :46.01. Out in the center of the track around the far turn, she came roaring up into contention, sped right past the tiring lead pack and came home under wraps with only Golden Sunshine (Medaglia d'Oro) eating into her 2 1/4-length winning margin late. The last reported foal out of GI Darley Alcibiades Stakes runner up Heart of Destiny, Destino d'Oro is her dam's fifth winner from as many runners. This is the family of GISW and $1,000,000 broodmare Rosalind (Broken Vow). Sales History: $20,000 Wlg '22 KEENOV; $25,000 Ylg '23 KEESEP; $185,000 2yo '24 OBSAPR. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $102,000.
