Neolithic filly finds a home on the grass

It took owner/breeder Terry Bruner and his team four sprint starts on the dirt and Tapeta at Gulfstream Park before they found the hole card for their 2-year-old filly, Das Ist Alles Ally. When they switched the daughter of Neolithic to a mile and one-sixteenth on the grass, she looked like a different horse.

With Sam Marin in the irons, Das Ist Alles Ally broke from the No. 7 post and was caught in a switch between two horses, and forced to drop back to ninth. Marin took her to the rail, and midway down the backstretch, she began to quickly pass fillies on the inside. Marin swung her out turning for home, and she proceeded to leave her rivals in the dust, drawing off to score by seven widening lengths. She paid $8.80 and earned a check for $11,720, lifting her total to $17,880, and she may spend the rest of her career on the turf.
