9th-Fair Grounds, $53,000, Alw (NW1X)/Opt. Clm ($50,000), 2-18, 3yo, f, 1 1/16m, 1:45.07, ft, 2 lengths. BERNABREEZY (f, 3, Bernardini–Super Allison {SW, $157,043}, by Super Saver) rallied from well back to be fifth in her career bow at Churchill Downs Nov. 14 and closed resolutely to earn her diploma next out over track and trip Dec. 20. Third to GII Rachel Alexandra S.-bound La Crete (Medaglia d’Oro) in this venue’s Silverbulletday S. Jan. 22, she was given a 4-1 chance for this drop in class while facing GISP favorite Sequist (Nyquist). Sitting back in her preferred position near the back, the bay had just one beat through a :23.59 first quarter and :47.17 half-mile. In the same position, but taking closer order on the backstretch run, Bernabreezy was six wide turning for home and slingshotted to the front in the lane to win going away by two lengths. Mariah’s Fortune (Classic Empire) was second with Sequist in third. Bernabreezy is the first foal out of SW Super Allison, whose only foal since is a 2021 colt by Catalina Cruiser. She was bred back to Volatile. Sales history: $25,000 Ylg ’20 KEESEP; $40,000 2yo ’21 FTFMAR; $100,000 2yo ’21 EASMAY.
