Adaay In Asia After Race Report

Adaay in Asia checked in third this afternoon at Santa Anita Park and was NOT claimed.

She broke well under Joe Talamo but was not able to keep up with the early pacesetters which did not come by surprise. While the eventual winner #2 Itzel set honest fractions on the front end, we were hopeful someone else would be able to put pressure on her as she was able to remain brave on the lead by herself. Your daughter of Adaay settled in seventh through most of the early running while two wide, eventually dropping down to the rail once moving up into sixth into the turn. She responded with a steady run throughout the stretch but had too much work to do to catch the winner. She galloped out very well after the wire and appears to have bounced out of the race in good order.

Following the race jockey Joe Talamo told Phil he was pleased with her effort and recommended the possibility of trying a “cheater” blinker to help put her in the race earlier.

We will follow up in the coming days with an update but it was great to see Adaay in Asia respond with the class relief. Of course, we had much higher hopes for her when coming to the U.S. but we believe we have found the right level for her now.

She’ll get a little time in between races now as the Santa Anita meet concludes on June 16th and the Del Mar summer meet does not begin until July 20th.
