From Rick's F.Y.I. Department: This race this afternoon folks is one of the oldest and most prestigious events for 2-year-olds fillies in the country, The Spinaway had its inaugural running in 1881. The race was named after a chestnut filly who won seven of her nine starts. A daughter of Leamington out of the Eclipse mare Megara, Spinaway's career ended at age 3 in 1881 and she went on to be a successful broodmare. Among her progeny was a granddaughter, Tanya, who won the 1905 Belmont Stakes. The Spinaway has been run through the years at five furlongs, 5½ furlongs and six furlongs; in 1994, its distance was changed to seven furlongs. Here in the 123rd running of this graded stakes test, #2 ANGELA RENEE takes a slight class drop (-1), broke her maiden in her "first asking," and comes off a "POWER RUN PLACE" finish in her last start, which was just the 2nd race of her young career to date. She's a daughter of Bernardini=, whose progeny have hit the board in 41% of more than 2,300 combined lifetime starts. #5 DARLING SKY is 8-1 in the morning line, and comes off a "POWER RUN WIN" to break her maiden in her respective, "first asking."
