Dust and Diamonds lived up to her advance billing as a budding star Saturday with a record-smashing victory in the $100,000 Sugar Swirl Stakes (Grade 3) at Gulfstream Park.
In her first race for trainer Todd Pletcher, the 4-year-old won the six-furlong dirt stakes in 1 minute 8.66 seconds. That broke the Sugar Swirl record of 1:08.98, set by Smokey Glacken in 2006.
“I don’t know what else she could have done, running six furlongs in 1:08,” said Pletcher, who was at Aqueduct in Ozone Park, N.Y, and watched a telecast of the Sugar Swirl
Dust and Diamonds, the 1-2 favorite, led almost the entire race and beat Golden Mystery by 2 3/4 lengths.
If jockey John Velazquez had pushed Dust and Diamonds at the end, she might have come close to the track record of 1:08.12 that Big Drama, an Eclipse Award-winning male sprinter, set in 2011.
“She broke really well, and it was pretty easy. Once she broke I just set my hands down and held her together,” Velazquez said. “I just sat til the three-eighths pole ... and the rest was easy.”
