HOT SPRINGS -- The rapidly developing Comparative is now a graded stakes winner after holding off Ice Orchid by a half-length in the $250,000 Grade III Bayakoa Stakes for older fillies and mares Friday afternoon at Oaklawn Racing Casino Resort.
Because of an equine overbite, Bayakoa often charged to the wire with her tongue hanging out of the side of her mouth.
Xigera pounced to the lead at the top of the lane and drew away off in stretch to win Thursday’s $400,000 Falls City (G3) at Churchill Downs.
Nest will look to keep her perfect Saratoga Race Course record intact in Friday’s Grade 1, $500,000 Personal Ensign.
Reigning champion 3-year-old filly Nest came back from a nearly nine-month layoff with aplomb to score in Sunday's $200,000 Shuvee (G2) for trainer Todd Pletcher, turning back the challenge of multiple Grade 1 winner Clairiere to capture the 1 1/8-mile test for older fillies and mares at Saratoga.
