Fluffy Socks

It was a different year, but the same result with Chad Brown earning his third consecutive win--and fifth overall--with Klaravich Stables' Technical Analysis (Ire) (Kingman {GB}) in Friday's GIII Lake George S. at Saratoga. In fairness, Brown came into the race with a significant advantage, saddling four of the 10 runners, including GSW Fluffy Socks (Slumber {GB}), Amy C (GB) (Charming Thought {GB}) and Minaun (Ire) (Zoffany {Ire}).

The New York-based Fluffy Socks (Slumber {GB}) tops a full field in Saturday's GIII Jimmy Durante S. at Del Mar. Graduating at second asking at Kentucky Downs Sept. 7, the bay followed suit with a win in Pimlico's Selima S. Oct. 3 over a yielding course. She missed by a nose last time in Belmont's Chelsey Flower S. Nov. 1. Godolphin homebred Javanica (Medaglia d'Oro) takes another crack at stakes company after rallying to be second in the Glorious Song S. on the Woodbine synthetic Oct. 17. The bay earned...
