Same Fair Grounds card, same trainer as Kingpin – and like Kingpin, a front-running blowout win over a turf course that appeared to really play to the strengths of qualified front-runners. This was third day of the racing week after the temporary rails were taken down the evening of Jan. 17 and inside paths were preferred. All that said, filly was making second career start and remains interesting prospect.
