Fast N Gone lives up to her name – and her odds – in Puerto Rico

Gone Astray’s success has spilled over to Puerto Rico, where Fast N Gone, a $45,000 OBS June 2-year-old, broke her maiden at Camarero Race Track in her career debut, and everyone on the island appeared to be in on it.

Juan Diaz was aboard the 3-year-old filly bred by JDAB Stables, who went to the post in the six-furlong maiden special at odds of 2/5. Fast N Gone came out running, passed the furlong markers in :23.63 and :47.12 and cruised to the wire seven lengths in front without being tested. She was clocked in 1:12.97 over a sloppy track, earned an excellent 84 Equibase speed figure, and collected $6,380 for the Sonata Stable. She is Gone Astray’s 36th winner of 2022.

At Delaware Park, the consistent Gone Astray filly R Averie Lynn won for the second time this year and fifth overall, carrying Daniel Centeno to victory by three-quarters of a length in a six-furlong starter allowance. The 4-year-old filly, a $25,000 OBS July 2-year-old, sports a record of 5-10-2 in 26 starts and earnings of $119,602, with $67,183 coming this year. She broke on the lead, dropped back to third briefly along the backstretch, moved up after a :22.54 quarter and took the lead on the turn, then held the field safe down the lane. She was clocked in 1:12.10, paid $16.20, and collected a check for $15,000.
