Ready for Romance was a debut winner sprinting on the main track here last November, and picked up right where she left off in an open optional claimer June 5. The Sam-Son colorbearer was backed at 2-1 to take to the turf. Sent straight to the lead from her rail draw by Eurico Rosa da Silva, the dark bay was confronted in the lane by odds-on Woodbine Oaks third Season Ticket (Lemon Drop Kid) and longshot Green Doctor (The Green Monkey), but refused to relinquish her advantage, and found the wire a neck to the good of the chalk. The winner’s dam is a half to graded stakes winners Matt’s Broken Vow (Broken Vow) and High Button Shoes (Carson City). Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by Fasig-Tipton.
