Gone Astray bargain yearling closing in on $300,000

World Gone Wild overcame trouble and picked up her 10th career victory yesterday with a come-from behind score in a 6 1/2-furlong race at Parx Racing.

Jeremy Laprida was in the saddle for the 5-year-old Gone Astray mare’s milestone as she raised her overall record to 10-3-1 in 30 starts. Bred by Dr. Myron R. Wilson and a $3,000 OBS October yearling in 2019, World Gone Wild added $110,800 to her bank account, which now stands at a formidable $261,275.

World Gone Wild jumped at the break but Laprida was able to send her out to stalk the leaders in fourth place on the inside down the backstretch. Laprida tried to find racing room nearing the top of the stretch but his mare was forced to check briefly, and when she recovered he sent her four wide. World Gone Wild then ran down the leaders in mid-stretch, and held off one late runner to win by three-quarters of a length, paying$7.
