Antoinette led from start to finish under Jose Ortiz in The Very One
Jockey Jose Ortiz put Antoinette on the lead at the start, and the Godolphin homebred filly by Hard Spun was never headed, winning the Grade 3, $125,000 The Very One Stakes at Gulfstream Park on Saturday in Hallandale Beach, Fla.
Trained by Hall of Famer Bill Mott, Antoinette proved 2 1/4 lengths the best, paying $9.20 as the tepid 7-2 favorite in the field of nine fillies and mares going 1 3/16 miles on firm turf. She covered the distance in 1:53.70 after clicking off easy fractions of :23.98, :49.11, 1:13.24, and 1:36.67.

Charmaine s Mia and Drayden Van Dyke are all alone at the wire in the Las Cienegas
Not many daughters of the little-recognized stallion Chati (by the Nearco stallion Amerigo) ever found themselves in the book of the great Irish-based stallion Sadler s Wells (by Northern Dancer), who was the leading sire in England and Ireland for more than a generation.
I suspect the only daughter of Chati bred to the keystone of Coolmore was Gossiping, a foal of 1981 who is the fourth dam of Charmaine s Mia, the winner of the Grade 3 Las Cienegas Stakes at Santa Anita on Jan. 9, when she ran the six furlongs in 1:07.81.
