Super effort in the G1 Humana Distaff off 11 months rest. For all concerned, speed seems to be holding at Churchill today.
Rosie strikes again!

I always liked Mid Lucky. She came back in great form. And Yes - Rosie Rules! Midnight Lucky Rocks Humana Distaff Return By Claire Novak Bloodhorse  Photo: Skip Dickstein Midnight Lucky had nearly a year between races, but lost none of her class in the interim. Leaving six older fillies and mares in her wake, she rumbled into the stretch of the $300,000 Humana Distaff (gr. I) at Churchill Downs and widened away to a 4 1/2 length victory (VIDEO). The Bob Baffert trainee, ridden by Rosie Napravnik for Mike Pegram, Karl Watson, and Paul Weitman, got seven furlongs on a fast track in 1:22.23 after clicking through early fractions of :22.74, :45.04, and 1:09.01. It was her first start since a 6 1/4-length victory in the May 27 Acorn Stakes (gr. I) at Belmont Park last year. Midnight Lucky, a 4-year-old daughter of Midnight Lute , returned $5.20, $4, and $3 while 21-1 shot Street Girl paid $13.80 and $5.40. Back half a length in third was Scherzinger, who paid $3.80, while 6-5 favorite Judy the Beauty settled for fourth. The Humana Distaff was Midnight Lucky's third win from five starts. The only loss of her career came when she ran fifth in the 2013 Longines Kentucky Oaks (gr. I). |

She's one of my favorites too Ev.
If she stays healthy she'll be one of if not the top female sprinter of 2014.
