—Jan 27— When the two-time Eclipse Award-winning trainer, Chad Brown, saw Texting hop past Daddys Lil Darling midway through the $200,000 Grade III La Prevoyante Handicap, he was confident the daughter of Candy Ride wasn’t going to be denied the spoils this time around. As is often the case, Brown was right.
Texting pulled away further before Daddys Lil Darling made her final run, but it was way too little too late and Texting emerged the three-and-a-half length winner over late-charging Peru while Daddy Lil Darling faded to third.
“She’s been a work in progress,” Brown said after the race. “If you look at her, she is still quite lightly raced and … it’s just taken a while to get her here. Today she got a good pace to work with. Javier really got along with her well, it was a good patient race. It was her day, everything came together.”
