Catch a Glimpse leads the way home in the Herecomesthebride Stakes.
Catch a Glimpse, the 2015 Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf (gr. IT) winner, shined again in her 3-year-old debut Feb. 27 at Gulfstream Park with an open-lengths score in the $150,000 Herecomesthebride Stakes (gr. IIIT).
The City Zip filly tracked early longshot leader Vieja Luna early in the 1 1/16-mile grass test—just off fractions of :23.96, :49.10, and 1:13.97 through six furlongs—effortlessly took command in the final turn and drew away from the field to win under jockey Florent Geroux.
The pair hit the wire in 1:42.63, while Lira checked in second and Gone Away came in third.
It was the fourth straight victory for the Mark Casse-trained Catch a Glimpse and third straight stakes score, which includes the Juvenile Fillies Turf and the Natalma (Can-IIT) last year at Woodbine. She is the fifth 2015 Breeders' Cup winner to return to racing with a win.
