New Mexico<\/STRONG>–\u00a0 Pace makes the race<\/EM>.\u00a0\u00a0 And pity the poor closers when a frontrunner’s let loose…… especially a frontrunner as magical as\u00a0tnilsson’s classy Estrogen<\/STRONG>.\u00a0 <\/FONT><\/DIV>
<\/FONT>\u00a0<\/DIV>
And so went the three-movement story of the Grade 2 $250,000 Big Dessert Stakes<\/EM>:\u00a0<\/FONT><\/DIV>
<\/FONT>\u00a0<\/DIV>
1.\u00a0 First Out Of The Gate<\/FONT><\/DIV>
<\/FONT>\u00a0<\/DIV>
Speedy Estrogen had all the right moves:\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0the\u00a0bright brown Sadler’s Wells daughter\u00a0broke straight out of the gate, full of dangerous run.\u00a0\u00a0No one went with\u00a0the 4YO filly\u00a0and jockey Franco Duffy and that proved key.\u00a0<\/FONT><\/FONT><\/DIV>
<\/FONT>\u00a0<\/DIV>
2.\u00a0\u00a0No Pressure =\u00a0Insurmoutable Lead<\/FONT><\/DIV>
<\/FONT>\u00a0<\/DIV>
I<\/FONT>n a race of their own, n<\/FONT>etwork7’s mild longshot Sophocles II<\/STRONG> dueled with layeguada’s sophomore Bidasoa <\/STRONG>back in second.\u00a0\u00a0 With those two\u00a0preoccupied,\u00a0Estrogen\u00a0compounded a massive early lead — at one point, she led by near a dozen lengths in the field of eight fillies and mares.\u00a0 <\/FONT><\/DIV>
<\/FONT>\u00a0<\/DIV>
3.\u00a0 Too Much For Late Closer<\/FONT><\/DIV>
\u00a0<\/DIV>
With over 15 lengths to make up, closer Xtremely Gold<\/STRONG> had her work cut out for her.\u00a0 Ejdstable’s exciting Touch Gold daughter put forth a\u00a0herculean effort too, steamboating through the field.\u00a0 The crowd roared\u00a0with excitement at the gorgeous brown filly’s furious mad rush, but ‘Gold just had too much ground to make up.\u00a0 She fell short a heartbreaking half-length.\u00a0 <\/FONT><\/DIV>
<\/FONT><\/FONT>\u00a0<\/DIV>
Using every inch of <\/FONT>the Big Dessert’s<\/EM> 12 furlongs,\u00a0Estrogen\u00a0and Duffy timed the run to the wire perfectly.\u00a0 The pair stopped the clock in 2:30 2\/5 and a 104 SP#<\/STRONG> wave o’ the whip.\u00a0 In the winner’s circle, Estrogen danced lightly:<\/FONT><\/DIV>
“Racing versus the boys didn’t take anything out of her,” jockey Duffy gushed.\u00a0 “Matter of fact, it made her stronger.\u00a0\u00a0‘Gennie’s pure magic.\u00a0 I call her ‘Gennie the Genie.”<\/FONT><\/DIV><\/BLOCKQUOTE>
The Big Dessert(G2)<\/EM> was her 3rd graded stakes win this year, adding to her victory over the boys in the Movieland\u00a0Turf Cup(G1)<\/EM>\u00a0as well as a springtime triumph in the 11-furlong Spring Fling(G1)<\/EM> versus the girls.\u00a0 Estrogen boasts a 10-for-26 lifetime record with a $1.3-million bankroll.\u00a0 <\/FONT><\/DIV>
<\/FONT>\u00a0<\/DIV>
She’s currently ranked #2 in the distaffer Dirt Long Division, #17 in the\u00a0Dirt Classic,\u00a0and #22 in the Turf Long Division.\u00a0\u00a0 Wow!\u00a0 Where will she go in the Breeders Bowl?\u00a0\u00a0 Great dillemna for trainer tnilsson……\u00a0maybe a couple more stakes points to earn and then ‘Gennie the Genie shall\u00a0grant a Breeders Bowl wish.\u00a0 <\/FONT><\/DIV><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
