Souper Sensational followed up a sharp Sept. 26 debut maiden win with an even more impressive outing in Saturday's $100,000 Glorious Song S. at Woodbine, cruising home a four-length winner under a hand ride from Patrick Husbands.
Making her stakes debut, the Live Oak Plantation filly was away in good order and took over the lead soon after passing the quarter-mile mark. With Husbands repeatedly checking back for competition, the Mark Casse trainee pulled clear from the field on her own and finished up the seven furlongs in a rapid 1:21.84, nearly two seconds faster than her debut at the same distance.
“I don’t want to be smart, but she’s one of the best so far I’ve got on as a two-year-old,” said Husbands. “All this horse has got is ‘green light.’ You could do anything with her. She’s just a three-year-old in a two-year-old body.”
Bred in Kentucky by Newtownanner Stud, the daughter of Curlin was a $725,000 yearling purchase at the Fasig-Tipton New York Saratoga Select Sale. She is a half-sister to Grade 1 winner Tiz Miz Sue and 2018 Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint winner Bulletin.
Live Oak Plantation has won the Glorious Song three times in partnership with Casse, starting with Let It Ride Mom in 2016 and Souper Charlotte in 2018.
