One Fast Broad will stick to California-breds

CYPRESS, Calif. - The two-time stakes winner One Fast Broad will continue to race against California-bred fillies in early 2018, owner and trainer Mick Ruis said Sunday.
One Fast Broad won the $101,380 Soviet Problem Stakes for 2-year-old statebred fillies at a mile on dirt at Los Alamitos on Saturday, four weeks after her win in the Golden State Juvenile Fillies on dirt at Del Mar. Ruis, who co-owns the filly with his wife Wendy, said the next goal will be the $200,000 California Cup Oaks at a mile on turf for statebred 3-year-old fillies at Santa Anita on Feb. 19.
“We’ll give her a little bit of time,” Ruis said. “It’s $200,000 and I think she’ll be the favorite in that.”
One Fast Broad has won 3 of 5 starts and earned $229,000.
By Decarchy, One Fast Broad is unbeaten in three starts on dirt, including a maiden race at Del Mar in August. On turf, One Fast Broad has raced twice against open company, finishing second in the Del Mar Juvenile Turf in September and fourth in the Surfer Girl Stakes at Santa Anita in October.
Ruis believes One Fast Broad is better on turf.
“She deserves a break,” he said. “We can get her back to what I think is her best surface.”
