C2 Racing Stable LLC, Kuehne Racing and Mark Corrado’s Andrea, a front-running 6 ½-length winner in her debut, returned with an overpowering 7 3/4-length victory in Saturday’s $95,000 Hallandale Beach at Gulfstream Park.
The stretch-out in distance from 5 ½ furlongs to a mile in the stakes for 2-year-old fillies proved no problem at all for the Saffie Joseph Jr.-trained daughter of Thousand Words.
Andrea broke cleanly from the starting gate and shook off a few early challengers to assume the lead on the backstretch on her way to setting fractions of 24.05 and 46.79 seconds for the first half-mile. Jockey Emisael Jaramillo only needed to shake the reins at the top of the stretch for Andrea to respond with a powerful stretch run.
The 3-5 favorite ran a mile in 1:38.83 over a good main track. Whatintheliteral finished a distant second ahead of Kip the Distance.
Andrea, out of the Tiznow mare Photoplay, was purchased at the OBS April sale for $105,00.
