GLORIA’S PRINCESS (f, 3, Cairo Prince–Gloria S, by Tapit) took on two turns Apr. 1 over Gulfstream Park’s turf and finished 1 1/2 lengths for second. As the heavy 3-2 chalk in this spot, the gray filly showed speed and controlled the early fractions as the pacesetter into the backstretch. Around the far turn, Gloria’s Princess began to extend her lead and down the lane she accelerated past the eighth pole to win going away by 6 1/2 lengths over Wardeya (Tapit). Second dam Arch’s Gal Edith (Arch) produced GI Kentucky Derby hero I’ll Have Another (Flower Alley) and MGSW Golden Award (Medaglia d’Oro). The winner is out of an unraced dam who is also responsible for Harvey’s Lil Goil (American Pharoah), GISW, $899,172. She has a yearling colt by Nyquist and visited Gun Runner last year. Lifetime Record: 2-1-1-0, $83,700. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by TVG.
