DEL MAR, Calif. (Aug. 2, 2017) — Show It N Moe It, piloted by talented apprentice jockey Evin Roman, wore down 8-5 favored Kimberlea K in the stretch and went on to score a solid triumph in Wednesday’s featured $100,000 C.T.B.A. Stakes for Golden State Series-eligible two-year-old fillies at Del Mar.
Always prominent under the 19-year-old Roman, Show It N Moe It moved up determinedly to engage Kimberlea K entering the stretch and responded to urging in the final sixteenth to win by a length and one-half in 1:05.11 for the five and one-half furlongs.
Gorgeous Ginny finished third, with Family Girl fourth in the field of eight fillies. Spiced Perfection was withdrawn from the original line-up.
Show It N Moe It, a daughter of Grace Upon Grace, is owned by the partnership of breeder Terry Lovingier, Tom London and Eugene Zondlo and trained by Gary Sherlock. The filly broke her maiden in her third attempt, scoring easily by six and one-quarter lengths at Santa Anita.
“I told (Evin Roman) not to get into a speed duel and the kid rode her perfectly,” said Sherlock. “Under normal circumstances, I wouldn’t ride a bug boy without the (five-pound allowance) in a stakes race. But he rode her real well the last time and he’s just a very good rider.”
Sent to the gate at 5-1, Show It N Moe It returned $12.20, $4.20 and $3.20. First place was worth $57,000. Runner-up Kimberlea K, who was ridden by Flavien Prat, paid $3.60 and $2.60, while Gorgeous Ginny returned $2.80 to show.
