Wingate Stables LLC’s KATHLEEN O. (f, 3, Start up–Quaver, by Reprimand) kicked off its patented late rally to stay unbeaten with an overwhelming 1-2 favorite at GII Gulfstream Park Oaks on Saturday. GII heroine Davona Dale S. shows up early showing no speed, but starts inching a little closer down the back in the slide line of the second pick Goddess of Fire (Mineshaft). She dashes past enemies on the second bend when the Fire Goddess takes over, and while that enemy can ward off her quickly under the energetic encouragement of entering lane, Kathleen O . rushed past her at the top and created a trip that was three times as long. margin at the wire. She stopped the clock at 1:43.75. There’s a double-digit wormhole going back to Running Legacy (Gunman) in third place. Sales history: $8,000 wlg ’19 KEENOV; US$50,000 in 20 OBSOCT; $275,000 2 years 21 OBSAPR. Lifetime record: 4-4-0-0.
