In her previous race, Espresso D\u2019Italia<\/B> came up short with her deep closing style.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>With an even more impressive rally, she was able to come from nearly last to first to take the $250,000 Grade II Mistaken Soda Identity Stakes in an impressive and commanding style.\u00a0 <\/SPAN><\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

Espresso D\u2019Italia is the first son or daughter of Madaglia D\u2019Oro to win a graded stakes.<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

With the win, the Lasthope1<\/I> trained filly bucked two trends from all previous runnings of the Mistaken Soda.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She was the only winner to go off at more than ten to one odds, paying $27.00 to win, and no other winner ever came from so far back in the pack.<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

Jockey O Sweeney took advantage of the expected pace battle between two talented and speedy fillies.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>BarrStabl\u2019s\u00a0 <\/SPAN><\/I>Biter Hollandia<\/B> took a short lead in front of JockeyMax5\u2019s <\/I>Northern Red<\/B> and led for the first half of the race, until the latter took over the lead.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>Northern Red was a very game second and looks to be one to watch next time.\u00a0 <\/SPAN><\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

Another one to watch next time appears to be fourth place finisher Blaster6\u2019s <\/I>Raziel<\/B>.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>After wins in her first two starts, the experience she gained against this graded group can only help her to continue her progress.<\/P>

\u00a0<\/o:p><\/P>

Co-favorite Special Gold<\/B> showed early speed, but faded to 11th<\/SUP>.\u00a0 <\/SPAN>The other co-favorite, Unbridled Mistress<\/B> never got going and finished tenth.<\/P>
