Her only two career victories came in races restricted to New York-breds.<\/p>\n<p>And in her only previous try against graded stakes company, the 3-year-old Hot City Girl had flashed speed and faded to fifth.<\/p>\n<p>Equipped with blinkers for the first time, Hot City Girl went to the front again, just like she did in her previous start in the Grade 1 Mother Goose nearly three months ago. But this time she didn\u2019t stop.<\/p>\n<p>Under Jose Ortiz, Hot City Girl ($16.40) rolled to a 2 1\/2-length victory, completing seven furlongs in 1:23.80. She is now 3 for 9 lifetime for trainer Linda Rice and owner Lady Sheila Stable, headed by Sheila Rosenblum, whose group also campaigns the highly successful La Verdad.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re absolutely thrilled,&#8221; said Rice.\u00a0 &#8220;I\u2019d scratched her out of the Prioress when she drew the 1 [post] in a large field and I didn\u2019t like the way the race set up for her.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe had been trying to get her graded placed or a graded win,&#8221; Rice added. &#8220;She\u2019s a half-sister to La Verdad and I\u2019ve trained for Mrs. Rosenblum for a while, so this is special.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Another New York shipper, the Todd Pletcher-trained Temper Mint Patty, finished second by a nose at 5-1. The Chicago-based Toutsie Rules, the longest shot among six 3-year-old fillies at 40-1, finished third and White Clover wound up fourth at 4-1.<\/p>\n<p>Both of the top two betting choices, 3-2 favorite Sarah Sis and 2-1 second choice Fusiachi Red, were sixth and fifth, respectively.<\/p>\n<p>The $2 exacta paid $77.20, the $2 trifecta paid $792.20 and a dime superfecta returned $153.09.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Joe DeVivo Hot City Girl came into Saturday night\u2019s Grade 3, $350,000 Charles Town Oaks winless in four starts since January.
