Adirondack – Continued from page 32 breeze over the track. She ought to have a good trip from out there.” Vivian Da Bling made her own trips in her two races, breaking alertly and opening a length on her fields in the first 50 yards. She won her 5-furlong maiden by 9 1/2 lengths after early splits of :22.32 and :45.52 and the 5-furlong TTA Sales Futurity by 6 ¼ after early splits of :21.90 and :45.60. Cliff Berry rode her in those races, barely ask- ing both times. Rosie Napravnik rides today. Calhoun’s gameplan is fairly simple. “With the outside post it gives us some options,” he said. “She’s very fast from the gate and we’re not going to take that from her. She’s going to be out there running, but I guess if somebody else is running it gives us the option to sit off of it. “We’re not going to be thinking about taking back from out there, that’s for sure. It does give us options to be applying the pressure instead of taking the pressure. That’s why the post is pretty important.” The speed looks like it’s all to Vivian Da Bling’s inside with only Empressive Humor, winner of a 5-fur- long maiden race here early in the meet from just off the pace, to her outside. Stonestreet Stable’s Cavorting, a filly by Bernardi- ni out of Grade 2 winner Promenade Girl who cost $360,000 as a weanling at Keeneland November 2012, showed speed in her debut and romped by 11 lengths.
