No Such Word dominant in Gazelle

No Such Word returned $5.60, $3.10 and $2.30 as the 9-5 favorite. Awesome

Maria gave back $3.70 and $2.80 at 5-2, while Seeking the Title paid $5 at 16-1.

The exotics were worth $20.60 (exacta), $112 (trifecta) and $818 (8-1-7-6

superfecta). Quiet Temper, Dubai Dancer (A.P. Indy) and Belle of the Hall

rounded out the order of finish, while Ms Vanenzza (Successful Appeal) was

scratched.

A winner in two of her first five outings, No Such Word next made a

successful stakes debut in the March 13 Honeybee S. (G3) at Oaklawn, drawing off

to win by 2 1/2 lengths. Third, beaten nine lengths, to Blind Luck (Pollard's

Vision) in the Fantasy S. (G2) in her next start, No Such Word was a solid

second in the Black-Eyed Susan S. (G2) before reaching the winner's circle again

in the June 5 Go for Wand S. at Delaware Park. The bay ran a close fourth to

Blind Luck in the Delaware Oaks (G2), but reeled off two straight after that

taking the Monmouth Oaks (G3) by 1 1/2 lengths and the Remington Park Oaks by 6

1/2 lengths. Her line now reads 15-7-1-2, $653,213.

"She had been training so awesome into this race," Cindy Jones said. "The

last race at Remington, Larry said she didn't get out of a fast gallop and came

out of the race so good. It looked like she was galloping down the backside and

when he asked her to go, it was all over. This filly has just gotten better and

better all year."

The Kentucky-bred No Such Word is out of the winning Muskoka Ice (It's

Freezing), who has since produced Nemorino, a juvenile full brother to the

Monmouth Oaks winner. Muskoka Ice is herself a half-sister to Grade 1 runner-up

and multiple stakes scorer Karmani (Run the Gantlet) as well as the granddam of

this year's Ben Ali S. (G3) winner Dubious Miss (E Dubai). Another of note in

this line is Grade 2 victress Moon Mist (Key to the Moon).
