The Tim Salzman trainee took the five furlong turf sprint by two lengths, coming from fifth at the halfway point to roll past the front-runners with a furlong to go and win drawing off under Xavier Perez. The time of :56.13 was less than a half-second off the track record.
Sensible Lady is the first foal out of the Bianconi mare Awesome Lady, a two-time stakes winner in California who racked up $310,658 in her career.
