Overwhelming favorite Plum Pretty absolutely annihilated her five rivals in the $200,000 Sunland Park Oaks, drawing away in the stretch to win by twenty-five incredible lengths.
The filly was entering the race off of a third place finish in the grade I Las Virgenes Stakes last month behind Zazu and Turbulent Descent. Under Martin Garcia, she helped set a quick early pace of :23.06 and :46.83 along with longshot Icelain Diva. She then took the lead and extended it throughout the remainder of the race, eventually stopping the clock by 1:43.18.
Trained by Bob Baffert, Plum Pretty definitely filly looks like a serious Kentucky Oaks contender.
Finishing second was Paloma Mesa, with Formal Plan finishing third and Golden Springs fourth.
