AMARETTI (f, 4, Bernardini–Caramel Snap, by Smart Strike), last seen a debut second June 5 at Belmont, returned to the races in this spot as the even-money favorite. Tracking just to the inside of pacesetter The Princess Says (Collected), the homebred shot through an opening along the rail into the far turn and never looked back in a seven length romp over the pursuing Kid's Last Laugh (Practical Joke). The filly's GSW second dam Fast Cookie (Deputy Minister) is responsible for MGISW sire Frosted (Tapit) and is out of GSW Fleet Lady, making her a half-sister to champion Midshipman. The winner is a half-sister to Caramel Swirl (Union Rags), GSW & GISP, $492,200. Her unraced mare is also responsible for a 2-year-old colt named Decatur Street (Street Sense) and a yearling colt by Union Rags who was sent to Japan last year. Lifetime Record: 2-1-1-0, $78,450.
