The Goddess Lyssa and Payntdembluesaway went together around the bend, a length-and-a-half ahead of Lenzi’s Lucky Lady in third as Miss Auramet stalked them from fourth through a blaz- ing :20.78 first quarter. Payntdembluesaway stuck a head in front of The Goddess Lyssa turning for home as Miss Auramet moved into third while racing three-wide. Payntdembluesaway surged to the lead mid- way for home but Miss Auramet ran her down in the final sixteenth and crossed under the wire a half-length better than the hard charging pair of Ode to Joy in second and Sethamee Street in third in a final time of :55.30 on the firm turf and the same clock- ing as the Turf Dash earlier on the card. She paid $18 to win. Trained by Eddie Plesa Jr. for by David Melin, Leon Ellman and Laurie Plesa, Miss Auramet won for the eighth-time in 19 starts while finishing second five times and third twice. She banked $45,000 winner’s share of the $75,000 purse plus $15,000 in Florida- bred bonus money to increase her career earnings to $349,750. Plesa said Allison De Luca, the Tampa Bay Downs racing secretary, was instrumental in his Laurie and Eddie Plesa/BILL DENVER PHOTO decision to keep Miss Auramet in the race after the two postpone- ments. Both the Lightning City and the Turf Dash run earlier in the card (see subhead below) had been originally scheduled for Feb. 13. But excessive rain on the turf course prompted Tampa Bay Downs management to postpone the two races to Feb. 20 then again to Feb. 24. “It was disappointing because I was thinking about running her next week [in the Captiva Island Stakes at Gulfstream, which is also five furlongs on the turf],” Plesa said from south Florida. “Allison was on top of her business like all good racing secretaries are supposed to be and kept me informed what was happening there with the weather and the turf course. “If it wasn’t for Allison, [Miss Auramet] would not have been in the race,” Plesa said. “That said, I thought she had an excellent chance of winning. The jockey knew her and gave her a perfect ride.” Plesa won the Lightning City in 2018 with Miz Mayhem, owned by his wife. Jockey Roberto Alvarado Jr., who rode Miss Auramet to victory last August at Delaware, said he was also optimistic before the race. “I knew she is a good breaker. There was a lot of speed in the race, but I knew I was going to be close and when she was ready, I just let her roll,” Alvarado said. “Other horses were coming late, but she kept digging in so I wasn’t too worried. She’s an honest horse who always tries hard, on dirt and turf.”

Montanari. Last year, Miss Auramet went on two separate three-race winning streaks with the first beginning on Jan. 31 at Gulfstream Park when she won a first condition, $16,000 allowance optional claiming by three lengths over five furlongs on the turf.

Proven at the distance, rapidly improving Cathkin Peak (Ire), a winner of the one mile turf Eddie Logan Stakes Dec. 27 for trainer Phil D’Amata, and Red Flag for trainer John Shirreffs, a disappointing fourth in the Grade 2 Los Alamitos Futurity Dec. 19, both rate huge chances and figure to be well backed in a short but very competitive field. A $650,000 Keeneland September Yearling Sale purchase, Rock Your World exploded off the turn for home in his maiden victory and went on to win in-hand under turf ace Umberto Rispoli, who’s back aboard in the Pasadena. Owned by Hronis Racing, LLC and David Michael Talla, Rock Your World, a Kentucky-bred colt by Candy Ride, out of Charm the Maker, by Empire Maker, was bred by Hall of Fame trainer Ron McAnally and his wife Deborah.

Hooper (Grade 3), will seek to produce an encore performance in Saturday’s $200,000 WinStar Gulfstream Park Mile (G2). Trained by Hall of Famer Shug McGaughey, the 5- year-old son of Speightstown is slated to top a field of seven older horses in the one-turn mile event on Saturday’s 14-race program with nine stakes, headlined by the $300,000 Fasig-Tipton Fountain of Youth (G2). Joel Rosario worked out a winning trip aboard Performer after breaking from the rail post position in the Hooper, also run at a one-turn mile. Pinned down on the rail along the backstretch, Performer was swung to the outside on the turn into the homestretch and out-battled Eye of a Jedi to the wire to win by a neck. “He gutted it out pretty good,” McGaughey said. “He was down on the inside. Joel looked up and saw those horses on the lead were going easy, so that’s when he eased him to the outside. I don’t think it killed him to win, but that horse that finished second is a pretty darn horse.” Performer/LAUREN KING PHOTO The Hooper was Performer’s sixth victory in eight seek to turn the tables on Performer.

My wife and I watched from our office that night, and when she went well over the reserve, I said, ‘Well ...’” Casse recalled. “There was a sad moment.” The feeling didn’t last long. Shortly after the hammer fell, Casse’s phone rang. At the other end was Ned Toffey, general manager since 2004 of Spendthrift Farm, which spent $2.75 million to acquire the multi-millionaire daughter of Get Stormy. “I got a call about 15 minutes later from Ned Toffey and Got Stormy/COADY PHOTO he said, ‘I’m going to ask you a real dumb question. We bought her and we’re going to run her another year, do you want Hall of Famer John Velazquez rides from outside Post 9. to train her?’” Casse said. “I just laughed and I said, ‘Yeah, that is Heider Family Stables’ Zofelle returned from 211 days a dumb question.’” between races to be a popular winner of the one-mile Marshua’s Got Stormy won 10 of 26 starts and more than $2 million in River (G3) Jan. 23 at Gulfstream.
