She's Sensational, who already won three-in-a-row at Bay Meadows this year, went one better to win the $50k Alameda County Handicap at Pleasanton on Saturday 5 July.
The Point Given filly really has come into her own as a four-year-old. She first tried her hand at stakes company in June at Golden Gate Fields, but was disappointing. Not this time.
She really showed her class in the Alameda. She was taken in hand early, happy to run leisurely in last place. She was boxed in around the second turn, but her rider Joe Castro took his time and angled her out in the stretch. With a clear track in front of her there was no longer any doubt and she showed a remarkable turn of foot to dominate completely, winning by 6 lengths over Double Dip and Andover The Cash another couple of lengths back.
I can really see this girl grab a G3 on the NoCal circuit. She should still be improving.
