My Wandy’s Girl heads a field of seven in the Gazelle Handicap
Guillermo Berrios’ 3-year-old filly, My Wandy’s Girl, recently made her introduction to racing in the continental 48 states, and it was a successful won as she went on to win the Pentelis Stakes at Aqueduct Racetrack on 15 November, 2012.
Her connection are now looking for a stiffer test for the 3-year-old Flower Alley filly, and they have decided to choose the Grade 1, $350,000 Gazelle Handicap at Aqueduct Racetrack, and the wheel back to a tougher test would mean she will have to stretch
out to 1 1/8 miles.
Unfamiliar to conditions, My Wandy’s Girl will head a seven-horse field, coming on the back of a nine race win streak, and prior to the Pentelis Stakes win, My Wandy’s Girl have raced outside of the United States.
Out of Unbridled Secret by Unbridled’s Song, My Wandy’s Girl is bred in Kentucky but she has raced exclusively at Camarero Race Track in Puerto Rico, prior to that win at Aqueduct Racetrack.
Stretching out at 1 1/8 miles shouldn’t be a problem for My Wandy’s Girl, who has already won at 1 1/8 times twice in her career, which consists of 18 races with 14 victories, including two Puerto Rico Grade 1 victories, and going for the Cigar Mile, she
is the 7 to 2 favourite at the morning line.
"Mostly what you see from her you see in her form - she can run at any distance," trainer Mike Hushion said. "A friend recommended me [to owner Guillermo Berrios], and I got a phone call. She's been here awhile, for (about) three months."
Michael Hushion was impressed with My Wandy’s Girl’s victorious display in the Pentelis Stakes, and said, that victory set her up nicely for the Gazelle Handicap.
"She showed a lot last time; she ran very fast; she ate dirt," he said. "The way I read her form, a mile and an eighth might be her best distance."
My Wandy’s Girl will break from outside post number seven, and the race restricted to 3-year-old fillies will have all her seven participants carrying equal weights of 115 pounds. Ramon Dominguez will again ride My Wandy’s Girl for the Gazelle.
