Rachel’s Valentina (Bernardini) has long inspired high hopes as the daughter of
Horse of the Year Rachel Alexandra, and the Stonestreet Stables homebred is
lending substance to those hopes by remaining perfect from two starts in
Saturday’s $350,000
Spinaway
(G1) at Saratoga.
Justifying 8-5 favoritism, the Todd Pletcher trainee held a comfortable
one-length margin over Tap To It (Tapit) in a final time of 1:23.10 for seven
furlongs. In the process, Rachel’s Valentina secured a berth in the Breeders’
Cup Juvenile Fillies (G1).
