My Miss Aurelia resumes light training, after getting healed from her shin injury
The 3-year-old George Bolton and Stonestreet Stables owned, My Miss Aurelia, who secured the 2-year-old champion of filly of 2011 honours after winning the Grade 1 Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies at Churchill Downs last fall, but she didn’t come out that
race a %100.
The Kentucky bred Steven Asmussen trained My Miss Aurelia came out of the race with shin problems, a problem which postponed her 2012 debut, but Bolton revealed earlier that the filly is healthy and happy, and currently My Miss Aurelia resumed light training
at The Vinery near Ocala, Fla.
The light training will become galloping on 19 March, 2012, as the filly will intensify her training routines ahead of her 2012 debut, which is expected to come sometime early this summer.
The daughter of Smart Strike, out of mare My Miss Storm Cat by Sea of Secrets, My Miss Aurelia is undefeated as a juvenile, stringing together 4 wins in as many starts.
She broke her maiden at first asking at Saratoga on 22 July, 2011, going over a distance of five and a half furlongs under jockey J. Leparoux.
The filly was stretched out in distance to six and a half furlongs in her next start, a graded stakes debut called the Grade 2 Adirondack Stakes also at Saratoga on 14 August, 2011, where she downed Millionreasonswhy at second and Bellacourt in third, while
covering the distance in 1 minute and 17.01 seconds.
At a mile, My Miss Aurelia became a grade 1 winner in the Frizette Stakes at Belmont Park, where she tackled Stopshoppingmaria to win the race in 1 minute and 35.22 seconds on 8 October, 2011.
Finally the big race came on 4 November, 2011, where she was up against a serious lineup of fillies, but she came out of the mix as the victor. Grace Hall kept up with My Miss Aurelia till the end, but couldn’t over haul the champion filly as she finished
second, and the highly regarded Weemissfrankie finished third on the day.
According to Bolton, My Miss Aurelia has grown three inches taller and four inches longer, and the filly is expected to come around quickly, but the owner keeps his emphasis on My Miss Aurelia telling them when she is ready to hit the field.
