IT'S TRICKY WINS THE DISTAFF HANDICAP!

It's Tricky brought her 2012 record to a perfect 2-for-2 with an authoritative victory in Aqueduct's $200,000 Distaff Handicap (gr. II), winning by three lengths despite appearing hopelessly beaten around the turn.

Sent off as the 3-5 favorite against four rivals, It's Tricky got off to a good start and settled into the third position early on as Dontbeshy I'll Buy and Nicole H set a good pace of :22.51 and :45.13. White Merlot was right behind them in fourth, followed by stretch-running C C's Pal.
