Undefeated filly HELLO AGAIN became YANKEE GENTLEMAN’S 5TH STAKES WINNER and his 3rd stakes horse already in 2009.
$50,000 Dixie Belle Stakes
6 furlongs, Oaklawn Park
HELLO AGAIN rallied to win her debut facing Illinois breds at Hawthorne just prior to Thanksgiving, before capturing a first level allowance for state-breds at the same track on Jan 2nd. Making her third straight start at 6 furlongs she rode the caboose in the seven horse field through a half in :46 flat, moving out wide for the stretch drive she launched a resolute rally down the center of the track and got up by a half at the wire.
Last week SOUTHERN YANKEE took the $50,000 Genesis Stakes at Delta Downs just days after GOLDEN YANK was beaten by a nose in the Grade 3 Golonel Bradley S at Fair Grounds
