Valuable Breigh annihilates fillies at Parx for third victory
Valuable Breigh kicked off her 2023 campaign with as imposing a performance that any runner could make, while giving Gone Astray his second winner of opening week of the New Year.
The 4-year-old filly bred by Carol A. Reitman, Susan Gannon and Warren Miller exploded in the stretch going 6 1/2 furlongs at Parx Racing, leaving the field behind in the last eighth of a mile and winning in the mud by an eye-opening 12 1/4 lengths. Yabriel Ramos was the recipient of the rocking-chair ride, which began with an early battle that ended when Valuable Breigh opened up daylight and was never threatened following a :22.76 quarter. Her Equibase ‘E’ speed figure of 85 was by far her career best.
Valuable Breigh earned $13,200 for her victory, lifting her total to $58,240; she’s posted a record of 3-1-1 in 15 starts.
