Belterra Upset In Bonnie Miss; French Satin Wins

Friday's Bonnie Miss Stakes (GII) at Gulfstream Park had the look of a coronation for Robert Manfuso's unbeaten Belterra, an easy winner over rising star Take Charge Lady in her most recent race in the Golden Rod (GII) in late November at Churchill Downs.

But the Carl Nafzger-trained daughter of Unbridled came up short and the 3-year-old filly in the winner's circle turned out to be Cynthia Knight's Dust Me Off, who led wire-to-wire to win the 1 1/16-mile race under jockey Mark Guidry. Nonsuch Bay was third and Belterra, the odds-on favorite, finished third.

Dust Me Off is trained by Hall of Fame conditioner H. Allen Jerkens.

French Satin Wins Florida Oaks -- Sabine Stable's French Satin led throughout to win the $150,000-added Florida Oaks (GIII) on Sunday at Tampa Bay Downs. The Steve Sandridge-trained daughter of French Deputy was ridden by Ramon Dominguez.
