A Kentucky Oaks win narrowly eluded a daughter of Include when St. John’s River finished a fast closing second in the 2011 running of the Grade I fixture. Three years later, Include looks to have another top contender. Joint Return made a major case for herself as a top-tier sophomore filly with her hugely impressive win in Saturday’s $100,000 Busher S. at Aqueduct. Last throughout the early fractions of an absolutely dawdling pace, Joint Return made her job even more difficult by going five wide into the Aqueduct stretch. Though given every reason to flatten out, she instead increased her acceleration and spurted away to an easy 4 1/4 length score to secure her third straight victory. Joint Return looks like a filly with a BIG future. Stay Tuned!
Congratulations and continued good luck to owner Main Line Racing Stable, trainer John Servis, and breeders Virginia D. Moore and the Include Syndicate.
