TVG Breeders' Cup Mile

Uni entered the TVG Breeders’ Cup Mile with victories in six of her past seven starts, with that defeat coming against males in the Grade 1 Fourstardave Handicap in August at Saratoga Race Course.

A second crack at the boys proved a different story for the 5-year-old daughter of More Than Ready .

In deep stretch, Uni powered past another female, Got Stormy, to score a 1 1/2-length victory in the $2 million Mile for owners Michael Dubb, Head of Plains Partners, Robert LaPenta, and Bethlehem Stables. Uni also turned the tables on Fourstardave winner Got Stormy, who held second for an all-female exacta.

Co-owner Sol Kumin credited a top ride by Joel Rosario after starting from an outside post.

“We were really worried about the lack of pace, and [Rosario] did a perfect job, trying to get her over, saving a little bit of ground in the first turn,” Kumin said. “I thought he got her going at the perfect time, and the other filly ran unbelievably, Got Stormy.
