KAFWAIN FILLY SETS STAKES RECORD IN GIII FLORIDA OAKS!
The Grade III $200,000 Florida Oaks for three-year-old fillies was captured by Alan Brodky's DON'T FORGET GIL, who ran the 1 1/16 main track event in the stakes record-setting time of 1:43.65, besting the old track record of 1:44.38. The Mark Hennig trainee was ridden to victory by Rajiv Maragh, with Ameribelle finishing second and Rock Candy in third.
Alan Brodsky, owner of DON'T FORGET GIL, said of his filly's win, I was (pretty confident coming into the Florida Oaks.) The last time I came to a race from a long distance and won was on September 7, 1991, so the trainer wasn't too interested in having me here! This horse is something special. She's as good a horse as I've ever had, and I'm very happy with her. It's been a really enjoyable day. While Brodsky says he'd like to see how his filly emerges from the race before committing to any future starts, he has big plans for Don't Forget Gil. We're going to look around and do what's best for her. Certainly the Kentucky Oaks is a possibility. You know, from the Florida Oaks to the Kentucky Oaks - we'll go state by state.
Winning jockey Rajiv Maragh said of DON'T FORGET GIL's victory, I am two-for-two in stakes on this filly now and I was very glad for the chance to ride her again. I watched her last race and knew she would be solid again today. She had a problem in the gate that day, got shuffled back and was still closing fastest at the end. She's a New York Bred but I think there will be other opportunities open to her as well. Was that really a stakes record? She was going so easily at the end; for sure she had lots left.

KAFWAIN SON THE PAMPLEMOUSSE ROMPS IN SHAM STAKES!
Jockey Alex Solis had high praise for The Pamplemousse following a six-length win as the 1-to-2 favorite in the $200,000 Sham Stakes (G3) on Saturday at Santa Anita Park.
I've never ridden anything like him, Solis said. The way he's been training, I expected something like this. He has such a high cruising speed and he's getting more and more amazing.

Multiple Grade 2 winner KAFWAIN, by Cherokee Run, was purchased by Tommy Town Thoroughbreds from Darley and will stand the 2009 season at Alfred H. Nuckols Jr.’s Hurstland Farm in Midway, Kentucky.
KAFWAIN, out of the Grade 2-placed stakes winner Swazi’s Moment, will stand for $6,500. The eight-year-old stood last year for $10,000 at Darley.
KAFWAIN is the sire of 49 winners through October 22, including Grade 3 winner Massive Drama and four other stakes winners, among 96 starters from 180 foals of racing age.
“KAFWAIN represents a perfect outcross of all of the present popular sire lines,” Nuckols said. “Being from the Blushing Groom line, he crosses very well with the Northern Dancer line. Through is dam, Swazi’s Girl, he should also work very well with the In Reality line. He has already shown an affinity with the Seattle Slew line and should work very well with the Mr. Prospector line."
KAFWAIN had four wins, two seconds, and two thirds among 11 career starts and amassed $715,848 in purse earnings. Kafwain won the 2002 editions of the Norfolk (G2) and Best Pal (G3) Stakes as well as the '03 San Vincente Stakes (G2).

The Irish-bred 4-year-old colt returned from a six-month layoff to score an upset victory in the American Handicap here in June.
