Grade I Winner Aubby K Scares Few in Chicago
By Frank Angst

While Aubby K improved to 2-for-2 as a 4-year-old by securing the first grade I win of her career in her previous start, nine other fillies and mares will test her in the $150,000 Chicago Handicap (gr. III) June 29 at Arlington Park.

James Spence's Aubby K delivered as the 7-2 favorite for trainer Ralph Nicks in the Humana Distaff Stakes (gr. I) May 4 at Churchill Downs as the Street Sense filly shadowed Jamaican Smoke early before taking command in the stretch and posting a 1 1/2-length victory in the seven-furlong race.

Aubby K, who won the seven-furlong Inside Information Stakes (gr. II) at Gulfstream Park to open the season, will start at the same distance in the Chicago but she will face some new challenges. For starters the Chicago, on Arlington's Polytrack, will be her first race on a synthetic surface. Also, Aubby K will be spotting the rest of the field four to 11 pounds. Jockey Eddie Castro will replace regular rider Edgar Prado.

Awaiting Aubby K will be KatieRich Stables' Dr. Diamonds Prize, who invades from Presque Isle Downs, where she won an allowance race May 12 before finishing second in the $100,000 Satin N Lace Stakes there a month later. Cozze Up Lady, owned by Martin Racing, Morgan Thoroughbred, Westwind Property, and Farfellow Farms, has won two of her last three races including a victory when traveling 61/2 furlongs over the Keeneland Polytrack in April.

G. Watts Humphrey Jr.'s Drama Drama returns to a synthetic surface after a third-place run in the grassy Gaily Gaily Stakes June 8 at Arlington.

Cozze Up Lady wins Chicago Handicap
Filly comes from behind and outraces Queen's Award and favorite Aubby K. to finish
By Neil Milbert, Special to the Tribune

Trainer Brett Calhoun brought Cozze Up Lady to Arlington Park from Churchill Downs for Saturday's Grade III $150,000 Chicago Handicap with high hopes of making her a graded stakes winner but he had his doubts she would accomplish that mission at the midway point in the 7-furlong race

Cozze Up Lady's jockey, Miguel Mena, didn't share the trainer's trepidation. He waited patiently along the rail until they got to the top of the stretch and then sent the 4-year-old filly four-wide where she charged between horses and challenged for the lead.

Meanwhile, Flower Spell wilted suddenly and it became a three-horse race, pitting Cozze Up Lady against Queen's Award and 17-10 favorite Aubby K.

Calhoun's filly proved to be the miss with the most, crossing the finish line 3/4ths of a length in front of Queen's Award with Aubby K a length behind the runner-up. Last year's second-place finisher Maude S was fourth and Flower Spell was fifth.

"I had to move sooner than I wanted because the horse in front of me wasn't cornering well but the winner came around me so she had the same problem," said Kent Desormeaux, who was aboard Queen's Award.

Aubby K. who was making her debut on Polytrack after winning the Grade II Inside Information on a fast track and the Grade I Humana Distaff on a sloppy surface in her two preceding starts, didn't show her usual get-up-and-go.

"I don't think she handled the Polytrack very well," jockey Eddie Castro said. "She gave me a punch but not enough."

Cozze Up Lady was clocked in 1:23.06 in making a successful graded stakes debut and winning for the fifth time in an 11-race career in which she has finished out of the mutuel money only once. Not only was it the first graded stakes score for the daughter of Cozzene, it was her first stakes victory in four tries.

"We were pointing for this race for awhile," Calhoun said. "We thought 7 furlongs would be a real good distance for her and we thought she'd like the synthetic surface. It has been a goal to get her a graded-stakes win. We got this done and hopefully there will be more."
