Florent Geroux has been leading rider at the rich Kentucky Downs meeting two years in a row, but when Kentucky Downs’s opening card this season had to be pushed back to Wednesday from Saturday because of rain, Geroux chose to ride Wednesday at Indiana Grand. Good choice.   Geroux won the $200,000 Centaur Stakes aboard Cowboy Culture, then captured the $200,000 Indiana Grand Stakes on Lovely Bernadette, a horse he wasn’t even originally named to ride. Geroux had a call on Sensitive, who was scratched, and was snapped up by the connections of Lovely Bernadette, whom he gave a perfect trip. “We missed Kentucky Downs, but we did okay here,” Geroux said. Lovely Bernadette, trained by Jim DiVito for owner James Miller, was due for a favorable journey. She rallied strongly through heavy traffic to finish third, beaten less than one length, in the $100,000 Ta Wee in July at Indiana Grand, and in the Aug. 12 Pucker Up at Arlington got stuck too far behind a slow pace to have any real chance to win while finishing well for third. Wednesday, Lovely Bernadette and Geroux broke near the top and took up a position stalking a strong pace while outside and in the clear. I’m Betty G, a 23-1 chance, laid down demanding splits of 23.40 and 47.04 but came into the stretch still willing and able, holding off all closers save Lovely Bernadette, who pushed steadily forward and caught the pacesetter in the final half-furlong. Lovely Bernadette pulled away late and won by 1 1/2 lengths, while I’m Betty G was one length clear of third-place Youngest Daughter. “She broke very sharp, and from there I just tried to nurse her around," Geroux said. “She gave me a good kick at the end. I don’t think she minds going into the ground a little. She’s a very honest filly and tries hard.” Lovely Bernadette was timed in 1:35.37 for the mile on turf officially listed as firm, and paid $8.20 as the second choice. Bellavais, the 5-2 favorite, never got involved and finished ninth. Lovely Bernadette is by Wilburn and out of Inlovewithlove, by Bernstein. A stakes-winner on dirt last year at 2, she has found a home this year on grass. “We got to Hot Springs this winter and she kind of just tailed off, wasn’t doing any good,” DiVito said. “So we put her on the grass at Churchill, and it did the trick.” Marina’s Legacy wires Henderson Marina’s Legacy had the stretch-call lead in the Ellens Lucky Star Stakes earlier this summer and was caught late in her first start on turf this season. Wednesday, in the $107,350 Florence Henderson Stakes, there was no catching Marina’s Legacy, who sped to the front and never looked back, capturing the turf-route stakes for Indiana-bred fillies and mares by 1 1/4 lengths. Under Deshawn Parker, Marina’s Legacy set splits of 23.54, 48.45, and 1:13.05 on the way to a final 1 1/16-mile time of 1:43.03. Special Talent chased the winner all the way around the course and held second by one length over late-running longshot Rascofrade. Marina’s Legacy paid $5.60 to win as the favorite. The 3-year-old filly beat older rivals without getting any break in the weights, and looked good winning for the third time in nine races for trainer Aaron West and her owner-breeder, the Bone Doctors Stable. Marina’s Legacy is by Divine Park, the sire of standout turf mare Lady Eli, and out of the Theatrical mare Marina. That is a very solid pedigree for an Indiana-bred, and with luck, Marina’s Legacy, who also handles dirt, figures to be a stakes fixture within the statebred ranks for the foreseeable future.
