RUNAWAY STARSHIP

“I was pretty impressed with her today , no doubt about it...she just keeps getting better ” —trainer Kevin Attard

Florida-bred Starship Jubilee ran away from her rivals in deep stretch and took her second stakesrace of the year on Feb. 8 at Gulfstream Park when she won the Grade 3 Suwannee River Stakes by four-anda-half lengths as the 6-5 second choice. The Suwannee River saw a field of six fillies and mares going a mile-andone-eighth on the turf and gave the Kevin Attard trainee her fourth graded stakes win in her last five tries going back to a victory in the Grade 2 Canadian Stakes presented by Japan Racing Association (G2) at Woodbine on Sept. 14. Last year, Starship Jubilee also won the Grade 1 E.P. Taylor Stakes at Woodbine on Oct. 12 before finishing second to Kallio in the Grade 3 Cardinal Stakes at Churchill Downs on Nov. 28.

With the victory in the 71st running of the Suwannee River, Starship Jubilee now has 15 wins from 33 career starts with earnings of $1,261,597. She is a 7-year-old bay daughter of Indy Wind out of Perfectly Wild, by Forest Wildcat and she was bred in Florida by William P. Sorren of Ocala.

Starship Jubilee is a two-time graduate at Ocala Breeders’ Sales. She was a $34,000 RNA from the Halcyon Hammock Farm consignment at the 2015 April Sale of 2-Year-Olds in Training and sold at the 2014 August Yearling Sale to Laurence F. Leavy for $6,500 from the consignment of William A.T. and Lyn Rainbow’s The Acorn consignment. ■
