OZONE PARK, N.Y. – Super Espresso was super determined to win on Super Bowl Sunday.
Needing virtually the entire length of Aqueduct’s inner track stretch to do it, Super Espresso, under Junior Alvarado, wore down longshot Diva’s Gold to win the $60,000 Sky Beauty Stakes by a head. It was 7 3/4 lengths back to Electric Gold in third. Lady Durlyn, Vindy City, and Kittylicious completed the order of finish.
The win was the third straight for Super Espresso after she lost her first six career starts. Super Espresso is a 4-year-old daughter of Medaglia d’Oro, who was purchased for $1.1 million at auction by celebrity chef Bobby Flay. She is trained by Todd Pletcher, who won two races on the card.
Super Espresso raced third and on the outside as Electric Gold set fractions of 24.92 seconds and 49.05 for a half-mile while being stalked by Diva’s Gold, under David Cohen. Diva’s Gold took the lead in upper stretch, but Super Espresso gradually wore her down to gain the victory.
Super Espresso covered the mile over a sloppy track in 1:39.79 and returned $5.60 as the favorite.
Meanwhile, despite two longshot winners sent out by trainer Steve Asmussen, there were three bettors who hit the pick six, with each winning ticket returning $42,561. The sequence of 5-3-5-9-6-3 included Sunnybrook ($3.20), Light’s Out Lisa ($6.90), Rigby ($7.50), Dawly ($22.60), Alykela ($27.40), and Fiddler's Diva ($5.70).
Best Bets
GOSSIP COLUMN is a "double fig" play based on two grass races at age 2 that are already fastest of these, and is entitled to improve on those numbers off solid work tab for new barn; only sprint was key race (three next-out winners) against dual stakes winner Swag Daddy. MR ROSENTHAL is third off the bench after dead-heating with 0-for-28 ALL ZIPPED UP for second in his initial turf sprint; second race w/out blinkers. LIFE OF THE CITY is a full brother to Zip Quik, a $152k earner who won sprinting on grass; chased odds-on Designer (Baffert) in debut at Santa Anita.
