Keeneland, Grade 1 – Ashland Stakes, $500,000.
1 1/16 miles.
SIS CITY wins her third Graded stake in a row en-route to the Oaks at Churchill Downs. Each has been an amazing front running performance dominating every field by a huge margin.
A multi-million dollar buy-in to the Goldfarb/Torre partnership for Stonerside Stable she did not disappoint when sent postward as the favorite against veterans Runway Model and Summerly. On top from the break she strode to her customary front position but briefly surrendered her advantage on the backstretch to a speedy Amazing Buy. Leaving the second turn she effortlessly shook lose and drew away from foes with every stride, widening her margin to 10 1/2 at the wire. Lifetime 8-5-0-2 $682,980….and on to the Oaks.
