Got Stormy

Got Stormy broke through for her first career victory in her third start with a clear win in February 2018 at Gulfstream Park. She ran third by a half-length in the Sanibel Island Stakes at Gulfstream Park before a fourth-place finish in the Grade 3 Edgewood Stakes on the Longines Kentucky Oaks undercard.

Got Stormy followed with a hard-fought victory by a neck in the Penn Oaks. She added a two-length win in the Wild Applause Stakes at Belmont Park, which set her up for her graded stakes debut in the Grade 3 Ontario Colleen Stakes at Woodbine on July 21.

In the Ontario Colleen, Got Stormy stalked the early pace, seized command near the top of the stretch, and opened up a commanding three-length lead in early stretch. She cruised to a two-length win as the 3-5 favorite to extend her stakes winning streak to three and earn her first graded stakes win. Got Stormy was unplaced in her final two starts in 2018.

Got Stormy returned for her 4-year-old bow and won an allowance race at Gulfstream Park in March by 2 ¼ lengths when returning from a 3 ½-month layoff. She followed with a third-place finish in the Grade 1 Coolmore Jenny Wiley Stakes in April at Keeneland before running second in the Grade 2 Longines Distaff Turf Mile Stakes at Churchill on the May 4 Kentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve undercard.

Got Stormy regained her winning form with a four-length runaway win in the Fasig-Tipton De La Rose Stakes Aug. 3 at Saratoga. She returned a week later at the Spa and set a new course record while defeating males in the Grade 1 Fourstardave Handicap, completing the one-mile race in 1:32, more than a second faster than the previous mark of 1:33.13 set by Macagone eight days earlier. Got Stormy followed with a game runner-up finish in the Grade 1, $1 million Ricoh Woodbine Mile Stakes.
