Mastery Filly Dazzles at Laurel

7th-Laurel, $54,810, Alw (NW1X)/Opt. Clm ($50,000-$62,500), 4-29, 3yo, f, 7f, 1:24.47, gd, 10 1/4 lengths.

GOODGIRL BADHABITS (f, 3, Mastery–Dazzler, by Vindication), in a near carbon copy of her Mar. 10 debut over this surface, remained undefeated and proved a handy, open-daylight winner. The 1-5 choice swerved right at the break but shot immediately to the front and never let anyone close as she established a comfortable pace. After a first quarter in :23.18, a half in :46.53, and with her ears flicking on the turn, Goodgirl Badhabits kept rolling in the stretch as rider Jevian Toledo took a peek under his arm at the competition. There was none. He gave only the mildest of encouragement through the stretch to the dark bay as she cantered home a 10 1/4-length victress in the easiest of wins. Major Houlihan (Army Mule) finished best of the rest.

Goodgirl Badhabits broke her maiden last month, recovering from a bobbled break to set all the pace and power home 12 3/4 lengths the best at 5 1/2 furlongs. From the same extended family as champion and blue hen Serena's Song (Rahy), the winner is a half to Dazzling Gem (Misremembered), SW-PR, MGSP-USA, $508,303. Her dam has a 2-year-old filly by Palace Malice, who sold for $190,000 to Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners at this week's OBS Spring sale, and a yearling filly by Global Campaign. She was bred to Knicks Go for this spring. Sales History: $135,000 Ylg '21 KEESEP. Lifetime Record: 2-2-0-0, $63,600. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by TVG.

Mastery Filly Runs Them Ragged On Laurel Unveiling

3rd-Laurel, $52,600, Msw, 3-10, 3yo, f, 5 1/2f, 1:05.39, ft, 12 3/4 lengths.
GOODGIRL BADHABITS (f, 3, Mastery–Dazzler, by Vindication), the 11-10 favorite for this unveiling on the back of four speedy works over this surface–including a five-furlong bullet in 1:00 flat Mar. 1–never gave them a chance. Blinkered and speeding to the lead after breaking only fairly, the filly put up :22.58 and :46.32 splits from the rail and was seven lengths ahead with three-sixteenths of a mile to race. She continued to build on that advantage while not asked for her best and reported home 12 3/4 lengths to the good of fellow firster and 32-1 longshot Run Around Slew (Practical Joke). The half-sister to GII Louisiana Derby placegetter Dazzling Gem (Misremembered), SW-PR, MGSP-USA, $508,303 was the second dominant winner on the card for her conditioner, who also sent out 9 1/2-length maiden breaker Uncle Jake (Uncle Mo) in the opener before adding a third winner later in the program. Goodgirl Badhabits, whose deeper female family includes the legendary Serena's Song (Rahy), also has a stakes-winning half-sister in Rose to Fame (Gemologist), who is represented by a yearling Mastery colt. Dazzler is the dam of a 2-year-old Palace Malice filly that fetched $110,000 at KEESEP last fall and a yearling filly by Global Campaign. Their dam is due to Knicks Go for this season. Sales history: $135,000 Ylg '21 KEESEP. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $31,200. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by TVG.
