Irish Gypsy proved extremely game in the $75,000 Valid Expectations Stakes this afternoon, rallying furiously to catch Cosmo Girl in the shadow of the wire to win by a head.
Under Martin Garcia, the Bob Baffert-trained filly sat about six lengths a blazing early pace of :21 4/5 early on before circling into contention on the far turn. But Cosmo Girl, the pacesetter, was still clinging to the lead and staying on strongly. It took the length of the stretch for Irish Gypsy to wear Cosmo Girl down, but eventually did so to win in the final yards.
Cosmo Girl finished well clear of third-place finisher Tin Top Cat. She's A Bond Girl completed the superfecta.
