Pucker Up brings Sexy back to Arlington Park
Justin Timberlake is not the only one bringing sexy back. Today, just north of the City with Big Shoulders, a young filly torched the Arlington Park turf course, and she did it in sexy style.
A provocative winner of a division of the Hatoof Stakes on Arlington Million Day, Hit the Board Stables' I'm Already Sexy returned to the scene of her seductive crime in today’s Grade 3 $175,000 Pucker Up Stakes.
Proving far too sexy for her foes, the dark bay filly resembled a model doing her little turn on the catwalk, as she pranced to the early lead in the three-year-old filly affair under her French partner, Florent Geroux.
Daring her competition to come and get her with a come-hither swoosh of her tail, it turned out I’m Already Sexy was only teasing the field. Lengthening her advantage with every sexy stride, the racy daughter of Ready’s Image rolled to a spicy 3 ¾ length victory.
“This was a very nice field and this filly has a bright [and sexy] future,” said Geroux, after winning his second Pucker Up.
Still flawless in three starts on the Arlington turf course, I'm Already Sexy completed the nine-furlong trip over a firm course in a libidinous final time of 1:48.12. The win aroused strong pleasure from many in the crowd who had pounded the filly down to 11-10 at the windows.
As the winner seductively strode into the winner’s circle, one railbird was heard to say, “Where're you from, you sexy thing, you sexy thang you?”
Winning trainer, Wayne Catalano, spoke of his risque instructions for Geroux after the race, “Let’s take it [the sexy] to them in the first turn – I don’t care what you do after that. Make them do what they got to do from there. [She’s too sexy for their horseshoes.]”
Scoring for the fifth time in nine career starts, I'm Already Sexy raised her earnings to a voluptuous $234,190 after adding today’s sexy winner’s share of $101,850.
Left in her seductive wake in the Pucker Up was Every Way, who easily held second over My Option. Remember Then, Friviolus, I O Ireland, Miss Scout, and Phonybooksnrecords completed the sexified field.
