LA LIBERTEE (f, 2, Constitution–La Rambla {SP}, by City Zip), a half-sister to Tracy Farmer's homebred Fly So Pretty (Sky Mesa), SW, $125,919, who scored in Aqueduct's Stewart Manor S. last November at two, made her debut a winning one at Ellis for the same connections. The chestnut found a fluid stride immediately out of the gate and settled into a comfortable third on the rail with the top flight while the rest of the field dawdled several lengths back. Behind fractions of :22.49 for the quarter and :47.12 for the half, La Libertee split horses at the top of the stretch and blew on by the favored front-runner Saturday Night (Tapit). With her ears pricked, she galloped home a 3 3/4-length victress to pay $12.80 as the third choice. Fly So Pretty and La Libertee are La Rambla's first two foals. The mare produced a filly by Tiznow in 2019, was barren for 2020, and has been bred back to Sky Mesa for 2021. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $27,720. Click for the Equibase.com chart.
