Gamine (3, Into Mischief-Peggy Jane, by Kafwain) solidified her dominance over her division with a decisive victory in the GI Breeders’ Cup Filly and Mare Sprint at Keeneland Saturday. Content to stalk the blazing speed of Serengeti Empress (Alternation) through early fractions of :22.11 and :44.47, the even-money choice put the screws to the frontrunner turning for home. Moving easily from there, this summer’s GI Test S. and GI Acorn S. winner drew off to triumph by eight lengths over Serengeti Empress, who lasted for second. Bell’s the One (Majesticperfection) rounded out the trifecta. Final time for the seven-furlong test was 1:20.20, a new track record for seven furlongs. The winner is a $1.8 million Fasig-Tipton Midlantic and a $220,000 Keeneland September sale purchase. Lifetime Record: 6-4-0-1, $1,083,000.
