The pain was nothing that a Black-Eyed Susan win couldn’t cure.
Rebounding from a troubled-trip fourth-place finish in the Kentucky Oaks two weeks ago, Go Maggie Go broke sharply Friday, sparred on the lead with Kinsley Kisses, then drew away from that rival to win the Grade 2, $250,000 Black Eyed Susan by 2-1/2 lengths.
Making it even better for Romans was his other filly in the race, Ma Can Do It, a 50-1 longshot, got up for second by a head over Kinsley Kisses. She was followed, in order, by Dothraki Queen, Mom’s On Strike, Land Over Sea, She’s a Warrior, Downdraft, Flora Dora, Midnight On Oconee, A P Majetstic, and Double Entendre. In the Navy Now and CCed were scratched.
It was the second straight year Romans won the Black-Eyed Susan. Last year, he won it with 15-1 Keen Pauline.
