Honeymoon time for Foxysox, Attima
FOXYSOX (GB) (Foxhound) and ATTIMA (GB) (Zafonic) will make their first
encounter in Sunday's $175,000 Honeymoon Breeders' Cup H. (G3) at Hollywood
Park, and both European imports will be making their first start past a mile in
the nine-furlong turf affair. Foxysox was completely unheralded when making her
U.S. debut at long odds in a February maiden special weight event at Santa
Anita, but she won that afternoon and hasn't tasted defeat stateside, winning
four straight, including three stakes. She enters off a 1 1/4-length score over
the course in the Senorita S. (G3), and the Carla Gaines charge will keep
regular rider Alex Bisono in the irons as the 122-pound highweight.
Attima recorded a runner-up finish in a French Group 3 event last year and
made a smashing U.S. debut for Julio Canani in a May 10 allowance race at
Hollywood, easily winning by 3 1/2 lengths as the 3-5 chalk. Victor Espinoza
will ride the bay filly once again. La Habra S. winner HARRIETT LANE (Giant's
Causeway) and English stakes-placed GALILEO'S STAR (Galileo [Ire]), who will
make her U.S. and 2006 bow for conditioner James Cassidy, are also entered in
the contest for three-year-old fillies.
Galileo's Star will lead the post parade in the seven-horse field under a
115-pound impost that includes David Flores. Next comes Attima, 118; Foxysox;
ARLENE (Game Plan), Juan Ochoa, 118; Harriett Lane, Jon Court, 119; PROXENIA
(GB) (Pursuit of Love), Alex Solis, 114; and ROYAL CHEER (Royal Anthem), Martin
Pedroza, 114.
