Amira’s Prince filly ‘bounds home easily’ at Gulfstream West

Luca Panici proved once again why he might be the best finisher in the Gulfstream West riding colony, guiding Our Fantasy to an eye-catching victory yesterday in another race that came off the turf and went at one mile on the main track.

The 3-year-old daughter of Amira’s Prince, a $50,000 OBS April 2-year-old, stalked the leaders in fourth over the sloppy track, split horses at the top of the stretch, and exploded down the lane, winning by five lengths. As the filly bred by Joe and Helen Barbazon drew off in the stretch, the substitute track announcer said, “Our Fantasy is just bounding home easily.”

She raced the mile mile in 1:38. 37, paid $14.60 and collected a check for $14,800.
