Hong Kong<\/STRONG>–\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Theoc2 stable\u00a0has quite a looker on their hands with their Storm Cat daughter, Cosmo Girl<\/STRONG>.\u00a0\u00a0 The turf freshman filly ran her impressive record to\u00a04 of 5 lifetime with a thrilling victory in the Grade 2 $225,000 Silver Spoon Juvenile<\/EM>.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/FONT><\/DIV>

Cosmo Girl has done just about everything asked of her.\u00a0\u00a0 The filly didn’t get to the races till summertime when she finished second in her debut at California.\u00a0 Just a few weeks later, she found herself in the Maiden Special Weight winner’s circle and has since\u00a0never looked back.\u00a0\u00a0 ‘Cosmo\u00a0proceeded to add two listed stakes sprints to her resume, before going off as the honest favorite in the Silver Spoon<\/EM>.\u00a0 <\/FONT><\/DIV>
<\/FONT>\u00a0<\/DIV>
And this mile\u00a0event was a real test for Cosmo Girl.\u00a0\u00a0 With a Storm Cat x Gone West pedigree, stamina questions sure abounded.\u00a0\u00a0 A few Breeder’s Bowl Juvenile Turf Filly<\/EM> performers provided quality competition on paper as well.\u00a0 <\/FONT><\/DIV>
<\/FONT>\u00a0<\/DIV>
Additionally,\u00a0there were graded stakes runners\u00a0including dkyoung4’s\u00a0furious starlet, Dark Flash(IRE)<\/STRONG>.\u00a0 The stakes-winning Lohnro(IRE) daughter was dual graded placed already from eight\u00a0outings — half of those starts were around two-turns too.\u00a0 \u00a0The stalker proved to be the one to beat down the lane.\u00a0\u00a0<\/FONT><\/DIV>
<\/FONT>\u00a0<\/DIV>
Out of the gate, a pace fray developed between longshots, including sjmeola3’s Bahri filly Sun In Action<\/STRONG> (5th in BB Juvenile Turf\u00a0Filly).\u00a0 \u00a0Meanwhile, Dark Flash(IRE) and Cosmo Girl\u00a0relaxed in midpack, just a length or so from each other through the opening half-mile.\u00a0\u00a0 <\/FONT><\/DIV>
<\/FONT>\u00a0<\/DIV>
Jockey Valentino Ching aboard Dark Flash(IRE) sent his filly first, garnering the lead from united’s longshot pace dueler Prabha(AUS)<\/STRONG>\u00a0by the top of the stretch.\u00a0 \u00a0On the other hand, Stefano Zerr bided his time with Cosmo Girl, saving his filly’s late kick for a sweltering final-furlong run.\u00a0 <\/FONT><\/DIV>
“‘Cosmo ran like a banshee,” jockey Zerr said.\u00a0 “We had to split through the\u00a0determined pacesetters, but I had a clear beat on the runner-up (Dark Flash).\u00a0 My filly ran like a champ\u00a0and we got there with a\u00a0jump or two to spare.”<\/FONT><\/DIV><\/BLOCKQUOTE>
Although the tote board called for a “Hold All Tickets, Please” photo inquiry, the race replay clearly declared Cosmo Girl the winner by a 1\/4-length.\u00a0 Graz628’s Bella(IRE)<\/STRONG> gamely closed from last place to pick up the show spot, only 1 1\/2 lengths behind the winner.<\/FONT><\/DIV>
<\/FONT>\u00a0<\/DIV>
Cosmo Girl’s final time for the flat-n-grassy mile was a decent 1:36 1\/5.\u00a0 She passed both her graded stakes debut and the two-turns benchmark with flying colors.\u00a0\u00a0 <\/FONT><\/DIV>
<\/FONT>\u00a0<\/DIV>
‘Cosmo\u00a0now ranks 10th in the Freshman Turf Filly Classic Division.\u00a0 Remember her name…. we’ll see more of this royal bred down the road.\u00a0 <\/FONT><\/DIV>
