+RILLA (f, 2, Drosselmeyer–Humble Song, by Songandaprayer), who sported a solid worktab at this venue dating back to July, was overlooked at 9-1 in this career bow. The chestnut pressed the pace in second against the pine as Runner Girl (Elusive Quality) briefly led to her outside. In possession of a narrow advantage as that foe refused to go away after a half in :45.65, Rilla began to edge clear, only to face another rally, this time from Banner Waving (Speightstown). The juvenile stuck to her guns however, refusing to let that one by in deep stretch and delivered the goods by three-parts of a length. Runner Girl completed the trifecta. The first foal from her dam, the winner is the fourth for his freshman sire (by Distorted Humor). She has a yearling half-sister by Big Brown and a weanling half-sister by Paynter. Her dam, a half sister to GSW Around the Cape (Carson City), was bred back to Stormy Atlantic this spring. Sales history: $50,000 Wlg ’13 KEENOV; $52,000 Ylg ’14 KEESEP; $90,000 2yo ’15 OBSOPN.
