Palace Malice’s Fly On Angel Home First in CT Oaks

Making her first start since being claimed for $50,000 out of a winning effort in a Parx optional claiming event Aug. 10, Fly On Angel caught a flyer out of the gate, set a strong pace up front and managed to last over ‘TDN Rising Star’ Wicked Whisper by a diminishing half-length to take Friday evening’s GIII Charles Town Oaks.

Fly On Angel was quickly into stride from gate seven and dropped down onto the fence while taking two-pronged pressure to her outside. Able to pinch a bit of a break turning up the backstretch, she was ridden along three furlongs for home as Wicked Whisper was getting under way from about fifth. Still clear with a furlong and a half to race, Fly On Angel began to shorten stride noticeably and although her Grade I-winning foe made good ground late, the wire arrived in time.

A six-length debut winner at Penn National last September, Fly On Angel tacked on a Parx allowance in November ahead of a fourth in Laurel’s Gin Talking S. Dec. 28. Ninth in a Gulfstream turf sprint first off the layoff June 19, she finished runner-up in a Delaware optional claimer when not in for the tag before being haltered last time.

Pedigree Notes:
The third graded winner and fifth black-type winner overall for her sire, Fly On Angel was a $15,000 Keeneland November weanling and $20,000 Keeneland September yearling before fetching $23,000 at last year’s Fasig-Tipton Midlantic 2-Year-Olds in Training Sale. The winner’s stakes-placed dam was sold for $45,000 in foal to Honor Code at the 2018 Fasig-Tipton Winter Mixed Sale and that produce, a gelding now named Jack Gave Back, worked three furlongs in :36.40 (3/11) at Churchill Aug. 18.

Breeders’ Cup Winner Structor Sidelined For Remainder Of 2020

Injured in a workout on June 20, last year's Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf winner Structor will be out for the remainder of the year, reports the Daily Racing Form.

“He got hurt, he needs more time off,” trainer Chad Brown told drf.com.

The 3-year-old son of Palace Malice, owned by Jeff Drown and Don Rachel, won all three of his starts in 2019. Prior to the Breeders' Cup, Structor won the G3 Pilgrim Stakes at Belmont Park. Connections had considered giving the colt a shot on dirt this year, but throat surgery earlier in the season delayed that idea.
