Street Sense Filly Fond of You Leads All The Way on Colonial Debut

3rd-Colonial Downs, $70,100, Msw, 7-26, 2yo, f, 5 1/2f, 1:03.99, ft, 5 1/2 lengths.
FOND OF YOU (f, 2, Street Sense–Hallie Belle {MSW & GSP, $210,464}, by Medaglia d'Oro) broke alertly from her inside post, slightly heading a contentious group of three other quick rivals approaching the far turn. Continuing to show the way, the 4-1 shot put a length on the rest of the field at the top of the stretch, and began to extend that margin through the lane, which grew to 5 1/2 lengths in the end. Athenix (Good Magic) held on for second.

Fond of You is a half-sister to GSP Maycocks Bay (Speightstown), $179,020. A daughter of French Group 3 winner Charity Belle (Empire Maker), Hallie Belle is a half-sister to MGSW Alms (City Zip) and Runnin N Gunnin (Gun Runner), third in this year's GII Fantasy Stakes. She foaled a full-sister to the winner this past season and was bred back to Nyquist for her 2026 foal. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $42,000.
