Hilda's Passion, took over after a quarter-mile and repelled the bid of longshot Decelerator in the stretch to win the $250,000 Lexus Raven Run (gr. II) for 3-year-old fillies Oct. 23 at Keeneland.
Making her graded stakes debut under
Corey Lanerie, Hilda’s Passion ran seven furlongs on Polytrack in
1:21.38, scoring by three-quarters of a length in Keeneland’s Saturday
feature. The daughter of Canadian Frontier
entered the contest off an 8 3/4-length romp in the Bennington Stakes
on the Saratoga slop Aug. 23. The bay filly shipped to Kentucky off of
that win and had one work at Churchill Downs before moving on to
Lexington.
Todd Pletcher trained the winner for
Starlight Partners and C. E. Glascock. She improved to 4-0-0 from seven
starts and upped her earnings to $230,256.
