Live Oak Plantation homebred In Her Glory was engaged from the start and then outlasted several challengers in the stretch to win a $100,000 maiden special weight on the Mellon turf at Saratoga Saturday. Ridden to victory by Luis Saez and trained by Michael Trombetta, In Her Glory finished five-and-a-half furlongs in 1:03.56 on the firm turf.<\/p>\n
In Her Glory started well from the outside post in field of nine 2-year-old fillies and allowed Saez to place just to the outside of Bibi Dahl, a $1.35 million Keeneland September purchase who was making her first start since an unplaced finish in the Group 3 Albany at Royal Ascot on June 20. Bibi Dahl clipped of a quarter-mile in:23.04 before In Her Glory edged closer around the turn to take a short lead at the top of the stretch as Bibi Dahl continued to fight on the inside. Sadie Earp ranged up on the outside to make it a three-horse fight to the finish but was unable to get past a determined In Her Glory, who had a head in front under the wire. Sadie Earp was second, a length faster than Bibi Dahl in third. Keto Drink, the 5-2 favorite, was fourth followed by Pisces Moon Santina, So It Begins and Bodacious Queen.<\/p>\n
In Her Glory paid $17.20 to win as the third Florida-bred winner of a maiden special weight at Saratoga this year.<\/p>\n
It was the second start for the daughter of Constitution, who was second Hark Theangelssing after a slow start in a five furlong maiden special weight on the inner turf at Colonial Downs on May 10.<\/p>\n
In Her Glory is out of Zonda, by Scat Daddy and has now banked $69,000 in two starts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"BY BROCK SHERIDAN Live Oak Plantation homebred In Her Glory was engaged from the start and then outlasted…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":74803,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[40],"tags":[3004,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-74802","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-racing","tag-racing","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/74802","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=74802"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/74802\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/74803"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=74802"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=74802"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=74802"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
