Storm Flag Flying

The  adage reads " breed the best to the best, and hope for the best." The breeding doesn't get much better than Ogden Phipps' home bred two-year-old filly Storm Flag Flying. Sired by Storm Cat, and out of the Easy Goer champion mare My Flag, Storm Flag Flying came into the gate with what would be the lowest odds of the day. The fact she was undefeated in three starts, including victories in The Matron and Frizette, didn't hurt either.

Fillies break from the gate

Storm Flag Flying sat off the early pace and made her move at the top of the stretch to gain the lead. In an exciting stretch drive Storm Flag got passed by Composure, but then dug back in and surged ahead to gain a half length victory. With an undefeated year and three Stakes victories this beautifully bred mare seems destined to receive The Eclipse Award for Two-Year-Old Fillies.

Triumphant return to the Winner's Circle
