Combining age, pedigree, and apparent ability, in retrospect Woodford Lady looks like she was a lot of filly running for maiden claiming 80k last fall at Keeneland, a race she won by 4 lengths. If the wire had been back a couple of jumps in Thursday's 3-year-old filly, 1 1/16 nw1x allowance at Gulfstream, she would have prevailed. As it was, she ran 2nd to her stablemate, Goldrush Girl, who did have the tougher trip of the two.
Woodford Lady stands out to me because she is half-sister to Sara Louise, who while failing to place in either of the Breeders' Cup F+M Sprints in which she competed, was second choice in one and third choice in the other;, and also half-sister to Just Louise, an early 2-year-old graded stakes winner of 2010 before she needed a year's layoff that also marked the end of her good form.
Woodford Lady is by Sharp Humor, and surprisingly seems to stay a distance well.
