Champion BLIND LUCK (Pollard's Vision) was last seen in the winner's circle after taking the August 21 Alabama S. (Grade 1), but has contracted a serious case of seconditis since that 10-furlong contest. The first to hold her off was HAVRE DE GRACE (Saint Liam), who got her neck in front on the wire of the Cotillion S. (Grade 2) to score her initial stakes victory.
Those two knocked heads a total of four times in 2010, and on Saturday continue their rivalry as part of the seven-horse field entered in the $150,000 Azeri S. (G3) at Oaklawn Park.
Blind Luck and Havre de Grace both ended their sophomore campaigns in the Breeders' Cup Ladies' Classic, and were best of the rest behind winner Unrivaled Belle (Unbridled's Song). Blind Luck managed to gain a measure of revenge for her Cotillion loss when finishing second, a length in front of Havre de Grace, in the championship event. She was one vote shy of being the unanimous choice for champion three-year-old filly, but hopes were high that last year's Grade 1 Kentucky Oaks queen would carry her form forward into her four-year-old season.
