Privately purchased after an impressive 8 1/2-length win when unveiled at Keeneland April 19, Youalmosthadme made it two-for-two with a win as the heavy 1-5 favorite in the Kentucky Juvenile S. at Churchill Downs Thursday. The only filly facing a field of maiden colts, the bay was sent right to the front to set a sharp opening quarter in :22.52. Only briefly challenged into the far turn by Tranche, she easily turned back that rival with a surge past the quarter pole and came home on cruise control, hitting the wire 8 3/4 lengths ahead of Lou's Legacy who got up in second. Good Gator has a yearling filly by Get Stormy and was bred back to Midshipman for 2023. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by TVG.
