MONDAY, OCTOBER 9, 2017 >BELLA= IS BACK CANDY RIDE FILLY >SEPARATES= HERSELF FROM THE COMPETITION >TDN Rising Star= Separationofpowers (Candy Ride {Arg}) took a major step forward from a maturity perspective, successfully stalking and pouncing en route to an authoritative victory in the GI Frizette S. at Belmont. Entering off a somewhat disappointing third-place finish as the 3-5 favorite behind Lady Ivanka (Tiz Wonderful) in the GI Spinaway S. at Saratoga Sept. 2, the bay rallied steadily into the stretch and held safe Caledonia Road (Quality Road) by four lengths. With her win, Separationofpowers earned a AWin and You=re In@ berth in the GI Breeders= Cup Juvenile Fillies Nov. 4. "My staff deserves a lot of the credit,@ winning trainer Chad Brown said.

AWe thought if we could get her back to this race and get a good race in her that we could probably do that.@ Guided to the far outside and allowed to sit off the pace behind a quarter-mile in :22.32, the heavy favorite gathered steam and began to pick off rivals readily on the far turn. Entering the stretch on even terms with pacesetting Princess Karen (Stay Thirsty), she easily drew clear under minimal encouragement and came home as much the best. AWhat I found interesting today was that she settled really nicely,@ Smith said. AIn the past I don=t think she would have done that. She would have just run on by and opened up by five, six or seven and coasted on home. Today, she rated nicely and I had horse left. When I picked her up at the eighth pole she really got into the bridle. I got after her one time just to run through the wire. The next race is seven-eighths and she needs to be ready.@ Cont. p3 PRESIDENT & CO-PUBLISHER Barry Weisbord @barryweisbord [email protected] SR.
