+HEART OF THE NILE (f, 3, Pioneerof the Nile–Elle Nicole, by El Corredor) sprung a 12-1 upset in Arcadia Friday, charging late to graduate impressively in her first trip to the post. Unhurried early, the $190,000 FTSAUG buy trailed the field, riding the rail back off fractions of :21.78 and :45.45. Tipped out three wide in the lane, the dark bay swept past the leaders and rolled clear under a hand ride to win for fun by 5 1/2 lengths. Heavily favored Miss Ricochet (Colonel John) was the runner-up. The winner has a yearling half-sister by Cairo Prince. Sales history: $85,000 RNA Wlg '14 KEENOV. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $30,000.
