R Adios Jersey Wins Charles Town Oaks To Remain Unbeaten In Five Starts

R Adios Jersey was hustled to the front at the start under Paco Lopez and was never headed en route to a 3 1/4-length victory in Friday night's $400,000, Grade 3 Charles Town Oaks in Charles Town, W. Va.

Pauline's Pearl finished second, with Allworthy third and 7-10 favorite Caramel Swift fourth in the field of 10 3-year-old fillies.

The winner, a Florida-bred 3-year-old filly by Adios Charlie out of Marion Theatre, by Montbrook, paid $12.80 as the second wagering choice after running seven furlongs on a fast track in 1:24.37. R Adios Jersey  set fractions of :22.24, :46.27 and 1;11.06 along the way. The filly earned $230,400.

“I sent her and I got her into the race very good,” said Lopez. “I know the horse and she's very fast.  I tried to save her a little bit because the last time I rode her at Tampa, she got a little tired. … I wanted to go and try and sit second with her but the owners said I had to send her and I have to listen to the boss.”

“Turning for home she started to get really tired.  She was running very hard all the time, that filly. But Georgina [Baxter] the trainer told me, Paco, that filly is ready.”

R Adios Jersey is owned by  Averill Racing LLC and ATM Racing. She is trained by Georgina Baxter, a former exercise rider who in 2018 took over the racing stable of Ralph Ziadie, whose Florida trainer's license was not renewed by regulators after  an unusually high number of medication violations. Ziadie's son, Kirk, is serving a six-year ban for repeated medication violations. Baxter has won at a 27% clip since taking out her trainer's license.

R Adios Jersey, bred in Florida by Ocala Stud and Mike O'Farrelll, won her previous four starts in Florida, including a stakes triumph at Tampa Bay Downs in her most recent start on March 28.
