Vindictive Ways Breaks Maiden for Abbott
Vindictive Ways, a 2-year-old filly by Broken Vow co-owned and trained by Francis ‘Tres’ Abbott III, broke her maiden at third asking Sunday against a competitive group of fillies.
Purchased for $45,000 at last October’s Fasig-Tipton Kentucky Fall Yearling Sale, Vindictive Ways won by 2 3/4 lengths while covering a good (sealed) mile track in 1:40.56. Forest Boyce was on board. Fox Hill Farms Forever, who sold for $175,000 as a yearling, was second while Sagamore Farm’s Scary Not Scared, a $350,000 yearling, was third.
After finishing sixth in her debut at Laurel Sept. 17 under Boyce, Vindictive Ways finished second at Parx Oct. 10. In her third try at a mile Sunday, Vindictive Ways found the winner’s circle.
“I knew it was a tough field,” Abbott said. “She’s kind of progressed with each start. Forest gave her a nice ride first time out, kind of by design, I know she was sixth beaten a couple lengths but the idea was to get her a little dirt in her face, and a little kick back, and let her run back. She continues to learn every time.
“She was one of the last ones in the Fasig-Tipton sale last October. I loved her and had to have her. The breeder said he’d stay in, and I took her a piece of her and my dad took a piece of her.”
Earlier in the afternoon, jockey Horacio Karamanos won three consecutive races. Karamanos won the second race with Sarah’s Treasure ($8.20), the third with Linkappleyard ($6.40) and the fourth with Steamy Hot ($9.40).
