MIAMI - Starship Truffles proved that Grade 1 winners can come from just about anywhere.
One week after winning a $6,250 starter allowance race, Starship Truffles dominated Grade 1 opposition, cruising to a 3 3/4-length victory over the unlucky Judy the Beauty in Saturday’s Princess Rooney Handicap at Calder Race Course.
The Princess Rooney shared top billing on Calder’s Summit of Speed program, which ran in direct conflict with an eight-race card conducted just eight miles away at Gulfstream Park.
