Soothsay Overcomes Bad Start, Rallies Late To Capture Indiana Oaks Sponsored by:
Soothsay (No. 2) and Flavien Prat narrowly win the Indiana Oaks
For the first half of Wednesday evening s $200,000 Grade 3 Indiana Oaks, the owner and trainer of Soothsay were just hoping to get a piece of the pot in order to cover the cost of shipping from California to Indiana Grand Casino & Racing in Shelbyville, Ind.
That s what a bad start will do for you and Soothsay broke in the air and found herself last of nine 3-year-old fillies heading into the far turn. But Soothsay, with a savvy ride from jockey Flavien Prat, turned on the jet engines, flying through the stretch to mow down the competition for a neck victory over 40-1 shot Moon Swag. Lady Aces was another head back in third and Marion Francis yet another neck back in fourth.
