Movin' On Up

Always in the bridal party, but never the bride, it was finally her time in the Sunday feature at Keeneland. Having been the runner-up against elite company last year, In Our Time (Not This Time) put it all together in the lane and kicked home smartly to secure her career-first graded black-type in the GII Giant's Causeway Stakes. Traditionally found at the head of affairs, the Not This Time mare hit the board seven times from eight starts last year with her seasonal highlight reel including a runner-up effort two...

Last week's Five Fleet Fillies all came out of two back-to-back races on Gulfstream's Pegasus World Cup card. 5. MOVIN' ON UP, GP, 1/24-10th, 1 1/16 miles BEYER SPEED FIGURE-92 (3rd) (m, 5, by Accelerate-Stifle Yourself, by Cairo Prince) O-Ken Ramsey. B-Estate of Harvey Clarke (Ky). T-Saffie Joseph Jr. J-Edgard Zayas. For the second consecutive race, she appeared poised to win in the GII Pegasus World Cup Filly & Mare Turf only to be run down late--and Crevalle d'Oro (below) was involved both times. Except for a couple of subpar...

Hallandale Beach, FL--With Saturday's racing action already in full swing, the afternoon's Pegasus World Cup races got underway with 15-1 chance Destino d'Oro (Bolt d'Oro) getting up late to win the GII Filly and Mare Turf over Crevalle d'Oro (Constitution). Not particularly hurried coming out of the gate, the Brad Cox trainee broke well but was settled back near the back as 3-1 choice In Our Time (Not This Time) raced up to the front from her outside berth with And One More Time (Omaha Beach) and Movin' On Up...

HALLANDALE, FLORIDA--One year ago, trainer Saffie Joseph Jr. couldn't have been flying higher after White Abarrio (Race Day) ran away to a sparkling 6 1/4-length victory in the GI Pegasus World Cup Invitational at Gulfstream Park. The victory had capped a roller coaster ride for Joseph after the grey had previously won the GI Whitney and GI Breeders' Cup Classic for trainer Rick Dutrow Jr., but things seemed to go off course after that. Back under the supervision of Joseph at Gulfstream in the fall of 2024, the grey appeared...

Pin Up Betty captured her second graded stakes win under the Twin Spires with a late-running victory in the GIII Old Forester Mint Julep Stakes Sunday. The 5-1 shot was unhurried from the start and settled slightly off mid-pack while racing three wide on the first turn. Charlene's Dream was unchallenged on the front end, taking the field through fractions of :23.75, :47.45 and 1:11.35 and turned for home two lengths in front, but Pin Up Betty made rapid progress on the bend and closed powerfully down the center of...

Trained by Bill Mott and with Junior Alvarado in the irons, the bay filly's second dam is a half sister to GI Test S. and GI Ballerina H. winner Chaposa Springs (Baldski) and GI Met...
