This Fantasy Is for Real

Friday, November 23, 2012

Today's Grade 2 Go for Wand at the Big A features a new Rick Dutrow acquisition, Fantasy Of Flight (7-5), a filly that absolutely ran off the screen to win her first start since getting beaten off in the G1 Humana Distaff won by GroupieDoll on Derby weekend.

Even if that effort came at 7 furlongs, and at Belmont, and she ran faster than she ever had before on the Equiform scale--by a lot--I cannot make a decent case against her. Willet appears to need a wet track for her absolute best and R Gypsy Gold doesn't appear to be the same filly this year.

Taking Fantasy Of Flight to win, no price restrictions, and keying her in trifectas over the two fillies above.
