For a filly who won a Grade 1 race and was second in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies at 2, R Heat Lightning was still a bit underappreciated entering her 3-year-old season.
That changed on Feb. 26, when R Heat Lightning rolled to a decisive 7 1/4-length victory in the Grade 2 Davona Dale Stakes, beating the highly-regarded Dancinginherdreams in the process.
That performance will most likely make R Heat Lightning the favorite in Saturday's Grade 2, $300,000 Gulfstream Oaks for 3-year-old fillies at Gulfstream Park. R Heat Lighting will face six opponents including the unbeaten, but untested It's Tricky and recent allowance winners Salary Drive and Beso Grande.
