It was all Skidmore Indy, all the way, Saturday in the $300,000 Grade 1 Superfilly Handicap Saturday.<\/P>

The six year old daughter of A.P. Indy jumped out of the gates smartly, dueled with No Pretensions early on, and cruised easily to a 1 \u00bd length win over Wikipedida here in the 9-furlong Super filly \u2019Cap at New York race course.<\/P>

With the win, Skidmore Indy accomplished a couple of things.<\/P>

She finally won this Grade 1 Superfilly Handicap after three tries, finishing third in this event last year. She also\u00a0climbed a couple of spots in the classic dirt older females division to the number two spot. And, most importantly, she just about all but locked up a spot in Breeders\u2019 Bowl Distaff Classic in Novermber, where she\u2019ll be looking to defend her title in that race in Kentucky in November.<\/P>

The six year old mare also upped her career earnings mark to just over $2.6 million with the win on Saturday in New York. <\/P>

Skidmore Indy, who is the only foal out of the Sadler\u2019s Wells mare Skidmore Run, set some pretty fast fractions, too, while winning the Grade 1 Superfilly Handicap.<\/P>

No Pretensions, who broke out of the one post just inside Skidmore Indy, tried her best to keep up with the grand dame of the dirt classic division early. But with Skidmore Indy rolling out to fractions of 22.95, 46.15 and a sub-58 second mark at the five furlong marker, there was little doubt in anyone\u2019s mind that it was going to be hard to catch the number two ranked female in the classic dirt division.<\/P>

Wikipedia came on with a strong late rush from seven lengths off the pace set by Skidmore Indy Saturday to nab second place, while Dizzying Intellect got up for third place. Devilish Thoughts was fourth, while No Pretensions, after trying to run early with Skidmore Indy, managed to hang on and grab the fifth place check Saturday in New York.<\/P>

Skidmore Indy paid $12.50, $6.60 and $5.10 across the board in the Superfilly Handicap, while she and Wikipedia combined for a 2-11 exacta that paid a pretty nice $79.10. With the Cal-bred Dizzying Intellect third, the 2-11-5 trifecta paid $644.80.<\/P>

Saturday\u2019s win by Skidmore Indy was her sixth start and her second graded win this season after she captured the Grade 2 Wizzer back on May 14. Skidmore Indy also finished second in the Grade 1 Santa Marina Handicap in February, after she took two months off from the races after her Breeders\u2019 Bowl Distaff win last November.<\/P>

It was Skidmore Indy\u2019s seventh graded stakes win in a stellar career that has included 41 starts. <\/P>

In fact, Skidmore Indy has run in 27 consecutive graded events since the end of 2008, a span of nearly three years. <\/P><\/SPAN><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
