Gone Astray filly is running wild

After winning at Gulfstream Park, and two races later at Parx Racing, World Gone Wild graduated to Aqueduct yesterday for an allowance race with a purse of $82,000. With Ruben Silvera riding, the 4-year-old filly by Gone Astray wired the field, winning by two lengths and collecting a check for $45,100.

Silvera sent World Gone Wild out quickly and she led past quarters of :22.91 and :46.47 with the rider sitting chilly. When they hit the top of the stretch, Silvera began working on his filly and she was never in danger, finishing with a final clocking of 1:10.94.

World Gone Wild won just once in her first 10 starts, but the $3,000 OBS October yearling has now won two in a row, three of her last four and five of her last eight, and her earnings have ballooned to $180,910.
