worry, I’ve got you.’” It was the first start for R Adios Jersey since May when she finished sixth behind winner Spirit Wind in the $75,000 Musical Romance over six-and-a-half furlongs at Gulfstream. “She probably needed the race and we kind of circled this race as her stepping-stone for 2023,” Averill said. “She got sick on us and we shouldn’t have run her in the [Musical Romance] but we were going to be the big favorite and it was my fault for running her. So we just gave her some time, turned her out and brought her back. She could have run six furlongs probably a month ago but we really wanted to run in this race in front of the home crowd and all of my friends and family. It’s good to see her win and the pressure is off. She’s a fun horse.” R Adios Jersey has been trained by Gerald Bennett for three races now going back to a second-place finish behind Corey in a seven-furlong overnight handicap at Gulfstream on April 23. However, the trainer gave credit to the 4-year-old filly and Gal-
lardo for the win. “It was class. Class got it done,” Bennett said. “She put on about 50-to-75 pounds [during the layoff], but they all need that time off. She was trying to bear in a little late, but Tony [Gallardo] got her to change leads and she came back.” R Adios Jersey paid $3.60 to win as the 4-5 favorite and improved her record to six wins in nine starts with one second and earnings of $270,250. Averill purchased her for $12,000 as a 2-year-old out of the Ocala Breeders’ Sales March Sale where she was consigned by Ocala Stud. Out of Marion Theatre, by Montbrook, R Adios Jersey was bred in Florida by Ocala Stud and J. Michael O’Farrell Jr. Marion Theatre, who was also bred by Ocala Stud and J. Michael O’Farrell Jr., has six winners from six starters and has a yearling filly by The Big Beast and weanling filly by Win Win Win, who both also stand at Ocala Stud. She was bred back to Adios Charlie in 2022. TFH THE FLORIDA HORSE n JANUARY 2023
