Freshman filly pacing power snares the spotlight at The Red Mile

On Tuesday (July 29), The Red Mile will host a 16-race card once again focused on freshman except this day will spotlight filly pacers who seek to follow the career path of defending Horse of the Year and Kentucky champion Twin B Joe Fresh. There will be one $80,000 first round division of the Kentucky Championship Series, two $30,000 first round legs of the Kentucky Commonwealth Series, three $15,000 first round legs of the Kentucky Golden Rod Series and two $10,000 first round legs of the Kentucky Wildcat Series.

A talented group of young ladies squares off in the 11th contest on the card. There is the undefeated Caviart Daisy (Andrew McCarthy), who will leave from post position two for conditioner Jamie Sullivan.

The daughter of Sweet Lou-Caviart Darlin’ is 3-3-0-0 with a lifetime mark of 1:51 and she has banked $90,000. She is 5-2 on the morning line.

Caviart Daisy enters this contest off a triumph in the $100,000 Kentucky Sire Stakes Final for this division at Oak Grove Racing, Gaming and Hotel on July 14 as the favorite.

Bred by Caviart Farms, the filly was selected for $27,000 at last year’s Lexington Selected Yearling Sale by Frank Chick. She is a half sibling to Caviart Delight (Always B Miki, $132,525) and her dam is a half sister to the incredibly talented Darlinonthebeach (Somebeachsomewhere, $1.06 million).

Caviart Daisy’s granddam is none other than world champion, Dan Patch and O’Brien Award winner Darlin’s Delight (Bettor’s Delight, $2.9 million). The mare has proved to be just as prolific in the breeding shed as on the racetrack as she is responsible for four other individuals to eclipse the $100,000 in purse earnings. They are Rock N Delight (Rocknroll Hanover, $101,391), Pro Beach (Somebeachsomewhere, $331,202), Caviart Audrey (Somebeachsomewhere, $292,192) and Caviart Scotland (American Ideal, $166,502).

Caviart Daisy, however, has her hooves full. Call Me Angelita (Tim Tetrick) was assigned the rail for trainer Scott Di Domenico and is 9-2 on the morning line.

The daughter of Papi Rob Hanover-Angel’s Pride is 4-2-2-0 and has collected $34,705 in purse money. The filly is the first foal out of her dam who earned $554,253 during her racing career. Call Me Angelita is her first foal and was purchased for $115,000 by Triple D and Oompa Farm, Michael Rekoon, Craig Henderson and Steve Stewart at last year’s Lexington Selected Yearling Sale.

Call Me Angelita was bred by Triple D Stables and JFE Enterprise LLC.

Racing will continue through Sunday (Oct. 5), following a Sunday through Wednesday schedule. Fans and horsemen can look forward to 5:05 p.m. post time on this Tuesday.
