Saffie captures $100,000 Stakes with Andrea

HALLANDALE BEACH, Florida (CMC) — Barbadian champion trainer Saffie Joseph Jr tasted victory on Saturday when Andrea won the $100,000 Hallandale Beach Stakes at Gulfstream Park.

Any doubts about whether Andrea could carry her speed to a mile in the stakes for two-year-old fillies were erased when the undefeated and still-untested two-year-old completely dominated the race by 7 3/4 lengths.

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 favourite ran a mile in 1:38.83 over a good main track. Whatintheliteral finished a distant second ahead of Kip the Distance.
