Tempera Upset In UAE One Thousand Guineas

Godolphin's Tempera, the winner of the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies (GI) and America's champion 2-year-old filly of 2001, encountered a surprising setback in her first stop on the road to the $500,000 Kentucky Oaks (GI) on May 4 at Churchill Downs.

The A.P. Indy filly was soundly beaten by stablemate Infinite Spirit in the $250,000 UAE One Thousand Guineas on Thursday at Nad Al Sheba racecourse. Infinite Spirit, a daughter of Maria's Mon, won by five lengths as she scored her second win in as many starts in 2002. Saeed bin Suroor trains both fillies.

Unbeaten Belterra, the winner of the Golden Rod (GII) at Churchill Downs, is scheduled to make the first start of her 3-year-old campaign Friday afternoon in the $250,000 Bonnie Miss (GII) at Gulfstream Park.

The Carl Nafzger-trained daughter of 1990 Kentucky Derby winner Unbridled will be racing for the first time since her 4 1/2-length win over Take Charge Lady on Nov. 24. The latter is unbeaten in two starts since, including a victory last week in the Fair Grounds Oaks (GII).
