Sophie Flay's COFFEE CRUSH (f, 2, Medaglia d'Oro–Wasted Tears {MGSW & GISP, $941,463}, by Najran), a 2-1 shot, sailed home to graduate by three lengths going one mile over the turf at Aqueduct Sunday. The dark bay filly, a $360,000 KEESEP yearling, rushed up to take the early lead and set the pace through fractions of :24.37 and :48.95. She skipped clear after three-quarters in 1:13.69 and easily bested late-closing favorite Brattata (More Than Ready), completing the mile in 1:37.44. Areyoucominghere (Bernardini) was third. Coffee Crush was making her second career appearance after finishing fifth in a one-mile turf affair at Belmont Sept. 27. The juvenile is the third foal out of multiple graded stakes winner Wasted Tears. Lifetime Record: 2-1-0-0, $36,000. O-S Flay Racing. B-Bart Evans & Stonehaven Steadings (Ky).
