Paulassilverlining wears down leaders in Matron
Paulassilverlining was content racing in midpack on the inside for the first half-mile as Evrybdymstgetstonz posted an opening quarter in :22 2/5. Bobby Flay's homebred and 4-5 favorite, Paris Bikini vied for the lead on the turn but faded just as it looked like she might take over. Evrybdymstgetstonzd continued to lead the field through four furlongs in :46 as eventual runner-up Skipalute pressed the pace on the outside. Paulassilverlining angled to the outside for running room around the turn and swung four wide into the stretch. The daughter of Ghostzapper rallied to take over in midstretch and pulled away in the final furlong to prevail by 1 1/4 lengths. Paulassilverlining covered six furlongs over the fast main track in 1:10 4/5 as the 5-1 third choice and returned $13.80 to her loyal supporters for the score. "I couldn't have been happier," Nevin said. "Jose gave her a perfect ride and everything worked out for us. She's very smart and responds well to your hands. She'll go easy, and she's got some speed too. We'll see how she comes out of this and go on from there. Right now she's so sharp, we're willing to keep her sprinting." Skipalute took second and was 2 3/4 lengths clear of Evrybdymstgetstonz in third. Save Rock and Roll, Paris Bikini, Darling Sky., Empressive Humor and Desert Image completed the order under the wire. Paulassilverlining banked $120,000 for her first stakes score to boost her bankroll to $173,950 from a 3-2-0-0 line. Paulassilverlining is out of the Grindstone mare Seeking the Silver, who is a full sister to stakes scorer Choctaw Ridge. She is a half-sister to multiple Grade 1 victor Dads Caps.
