17.2 hh Chestnut filly by Bombed Out x Secret Status (A.P. Indy)
===========================
Trainer's Notes: Out of 7 length Kentucky Oaks-G1 winner Secret Status and, thus, half to Belmont Stakes runner-up Dunkirk. Odddly enough she looks to be a sprinter; showing better turn of foot over dirt - no surprise there.
