BLESS MY STARS, South Africa’s 3-year-old champion filly of 2023 and Equus Award winner, delivered a commendable first performance on American soil at Gulfstream Park.
The talented daughter of Gimmethegreenlight made her first start since February in the Grade 3 Suwannee River Stakes, tackling the mile distance on turf. Despite not placing, she finished just 2 lengths behind the winner. Overcoming a slow start, she raced at the back of the field before unleashing a powerful late run, closing impressively despite covering extra ground by racing wide into the straight.
Here is a replay I could find. Pardon the ads. I made the start time when the race actually starts.
