Flashy Lass took command on the far turn and drew away through the homestretch on her way to notching a five-and-three-quarter length victory over Kirby Kaye in the She’s All In Stakes at Remington Park on Friday, 13 December.
The one mile and seventy-yard contest for fillies and mares, which was one of six Stakes races carded on the closing night of the Oklahoma-based track, was the first Stakes win for the four-year-old Street Sense filly. Flashy Lass entered the contest on a two-race win streak and had been no worse than third in her last seven starts.
Flashy Lass, who drew the rail, overcame an awkward start in which she was restless in the gate and not ready for the break. She ended up lunging out of the stall and giving her competitors a two to three-length head start. The bay filly quickly put her troubles behind her and moved up into a stalking position from second, content to let Kirby Kaye set the pace.
Flashy Lass continued to track Kirby Kaye down the backstretch before putting away that rival on the far turn while still in-hand as she coasted through the homestretch and to the wire the easiest of winners. Completing the trifecta was Our Davina, by fellow Darley stallion, Midshipman.
Flashy Lass was bred in Kentucky by Gary and Mary West Stables, and races for Gus King. Out of the unraced Tapit mare, Open House, Flashy Lass is a half-sister to 2024 G3 Honeymoon Stakes winner, Circle of Trust. Second dam is the Graded Stakes-winning mare, Wild Promises, making Open House a half-sister to West Will Power (by Bernardini), winner of the G1 Stephen Foster Stakes.
Street Sense is the sire of 101 Stakes winners lifetime and has four Graded Stakes winners to his credit in 2024: First Mission (G2 Alysheba Stakes, G3 Essex H.), Never Explain (G3 Tampa Bay Stakes), La Cara (G3 Pocahontas) and Comparative (G3 Bayakoa S.).
Street Sense will stand the 2025 breeding season at Jonabell Farm for $50,000, stands and nurses.
