After a dull effort in her season debut in mid-January, the managers at Calumet Farm transferred the four-year-old filly Gin Gin from Brad Cox to Brendan Walsh in the hopes he could answer a lingering question: Did Gin Gin still want to be a racehorse?

Placings behind the Horse of the Year in the Coaching Club American Oaks (G1) and Breeders' Cup Distaff (G1) were solid showings for Candied, who makes her season return Friday in the $350,000 Doubledogdare (G3) at Keeneland.
