Gamine sets a track record for seven furlongs (1:20.20) in the 2020 Breeders Cup Filly and Mare Sprint at Keeneland.
Idle since winning the Grade 1 Breeders Cup Filly & Mare Sprint Nov. 7 at Keeneland, Bob Baffert s brilliant 4-year-old filly Gamine towers over her competition going six furlongs in Sunday s Grade 3, $100,000 Las Flores Stakes at Santa Anita.
Supplemented at a cost of $2,000, owner Michael Lund Petersen s Gamine will face three rival fillies and mares in what will be her first start at Santa Anita since she aired by 6 ¼ lengths in her 6 ½ furlong debut on March 7, 2020. A winner of both the Grade 1 Acorn Stakes going a one turn mile at Belmont Park on June 20 and the Grade 1 Test Stakes going seven furlongs at Saratoga Aug. 8, Gamine, who was purchased for $1.8 million at the Fasig Tipton Mid Atlantic 2-Year-Olds in Training Sale in May, 2019, has four wins from six starts with earnings of $883,000.
