Adieu (pictured above with Garrett Gomez up) has been a favorite of
mine since I saw her run at Saratoga last year. Today was not her day
though. Nor was it Miraculous Miss' day as she reared and fell in the
gate at the start. Although not seriously hurt, she and Wonder Lady Ann L
were scratched, causing a ten minute delay. At the line The Acorn finish
was as exciting as it gets. After giving up the lead at the turn
Bushfire fought back to win by a head over Hello Liberty (photo below).
The three-year-old bay Louis Quatorze filly is trained by Eddie
Kenneally and was ridden by Alex Solis. She ran the mile distance in
1:35.89
