Thoroughbred Daily News – 6/11/26
PICKITUPTHATSGOOD (Girvin–Heart of Midway, by Stevie Wonderboy) was unveiled as the 4-5 choice here and settled midpack up the backstretch.
With good energy around the far turn, the favorite began turn up the heat to the outside as the field entered the lane. The filly fired on all cylinders, seized the lead inside the final furlong and won by four lengths over the ‘Insighted’ Janie Not Jeanie (Mandaloun).
The winner’s dam is responsible for 3-year-old filly in-training On Ramp (Beau Liam) and a yearling filly by Complexity. A half-sister to GI La Brea Stakes heroine Sam’s Sister (Brother Derek) and SW Sensitive (Divine Park), Heart of Midway was bred back to Beau Liam for this past spring.
