Grade 1 Del Mar Oaks

VELOCITY was a $75,000 buy for Eclipse as a 2 year-old in-training at OBS. And yes, that $75,000 filly turned into the winner of the Grade 1, $300,000 Del Mar Oaks this past August. Yet another masterful training job by McCarthy, Velocity morphed rapidly from a grass-dash Maiden winner in the Spring into a Grade 1 success story in the summer. Velocity’s 15 minutes of fame were sadly short-lived, however, as she experienced a career-ending injury in a workout in the aftermath of her Oaks stunner, but she went out with a bang to the tune of $1.2 million alongside Candied at the Night of the Stars in Fasig’s Newtown Paddocks. Velocity was not only another bargain-basement buy turned superstar for Eclipse, but she also delivered to Eclipse our third, yes our third Del Mar Oaks trophy in the past 5 years, joining fellow Hall of Famers, Red Lark and Anisette.
