Taste Like Candy prepped for this unveiling with a best-of-four six-furlong drill in 1:13 1/5 Oct. 15, was sent off at 9-2. Fourth behind a pair of dueling leaders through an opening quarter in :22.08, the bay filly inched into contention early on the bend and surged to the lead with a four-wide move into the lane through a half in :45.66. She sailed clear under a hand ride to win by 6 1/2 lengths. Abide With Me (Tiz Wonderful) was second. The winner RNA'd for $80,000 as a KEENOV weanling and sold for $50,000 as a KEESEP yearling. My Success, the dam of stakes winner Southern Success (Dixieland Band), produced a filly by Indian Charlie in 2012 and was bred to Shackleford this past spring. She is a half-sister to MGISW Affirmed Success (Affirmed).
