—Mar 3— Phipps Stable’s Fly So High outdueled C.S. Incharge down the stretch to win the $200,000 Grade II Davona Dale Stakes at Gulfstream Park by two lengths.
Although the race itself provided little drama, there was plenty of drama afterwards when the winner was loaded into a van amidst concerns she might have injured herself during the race. One of her owners, Daisy Phipps Pulito (daughter of Ogden “Dinny” Phipps) provided an update the following day.
“It was an impressive win,” Pulito said. “She so big… she’s just growing into herself. If we have to give her some time off, we will. We’re not in any rush. Shug ordered the ultrasound just to make sure we’re not missing anything.”
Following C.S. Incharge to the wire were Heavenhasmynikki (four lengths behind the winner), Miss Mo Mentum, Alter Moon and Take Charge Paula (the second favorite who was dismal this day, finishing thirteen lengths behind the winner).
