Trust Fund Baby comes good in Sweet Ruckus Trophy
Trust Fund Baby, a three-year-old chestnut filly, rebounded from three-consecutive defeats on the straight course to deliver a dominant performance in the Sweet Ruckus Trophy on Saturday, July 13, 2024.
Returning on the round course, Trust Fund Baby (Hedge Fund – Swabybaby) led from start to finish in a maiden condition race for native-bred three-year-old fillies going five furlongs round.
Trained by Anthony Nunes, Trust Fund Baby crossed the finish line 8 ½ lengths clear of her nearest rival. Under the skilled guidance of jockey Raddesh Roman, Trust Fund Baby stopped the clock at 1:01.2 (24.2 x 48.3).
Running with the blinkers off, Trust Fund Baby shot to the front of the pack at the off and led La Vida (Aaron Chatrie), She’s Dallas Love (Oneil Mullings), and Social Mischief (Shavon Townsend) into the half-mile turn.
Trust Fund Baby turned for home with a substantial advantage and with no challenger coming forward, the chestnut filly powered home.
She’s Dallas Love finished second and Adira (Reyan Lewis) came home in third place.
