The WV Cavada Breeders Classic
10/16/2010 CT Race #14 7f Dirt Stake Purse $250.000 For Fillies And Mares Three Years Old And Upward Foaled In WV
A flirt she may be, but there is nothing cheap about Cheap Flirt. The long legged bay filly proved the best of the field in the third running of the WV Cavada Breeders Classic on Saturday. Defending champion Cataclysmic, the multiple graded stakes winning mare who won this event last year, put forth a game early effort but time catches up with all of us, whether human or horse and it was time to crown a new champion this weekend.
Cataclysmic broke sharply to take the early lead. Cheap Flirt and Ruby Ruby Ruby moved up to stalk her while early trailer Cracked Actor cruised along unhurried three lengths behind the field.
Cataclysmic led the way through to the turn for home, when both Cheap Flirt and Ruby Ruby Ruby drew alongside her to duel for the lead. The front running trio effectively blocked trailer Cracked Actor, now beginning her late rally. She was taken four wide to avoid traffic as the field rounded the bend.
Cataclysmic continued to battle on but as the field hit the top of the stretch, she weakened. Cheap Flirt surged forward as Cracked Actor zeroed in on her, closing fast and trying hard to catch her. Ruby Ruby Ruby flattened midway through the straight and now it was Cheap Flirt in the lead with only Cracked Actor left to challenge her. Try as she might, Cracked Actor could not catch the leader and Cheap Flirt sailed home to win by one length. Cracked Actor was second by two lengths with Ruby Ruby Ruby finishing third a nose in front of Cataclysmic who was last across the wire.
Cheap Flirt is a four-year-old autogen filly developed by Black Tusk Racing in WV. Australia Wide bought her at auction on 9/19/2009 for $200.000. Since switching silks she won her last four races, including her second stakes victory in the WV Cavada Breeders Classic. Her win now improves her record to 8-7-0-0 with $255.440 in earnings.
