Won Victory Ride S. (G3) on Aug. 25 at Saratoga
Unraced as a two-year-old, La Traviata is undefeated in her three starts this year as a three-year-old.
The Johannesburg filly won her maiden debut at Churchill Downs by a eye-catching 13 1/4-lengths, then went to Monmouth Park for the Post Deb Stakes.
She had no problem with the track where this year's Breeders' Cup will be run, winning the Post Deb by five lengths. Both of those victories were at 5 1/2-furlongs.
Trainer Patrick Biancone then stepped her up and stretched her out a bit in the six furlong Victory Ride Stakes (G3) at Saratoga Race Course, and it was no contest as she cruised home to win by 9 1/4-lengths.
"I didn't have to do too much, she did it herself," jockey Julien Leparoux said after the Victory Ride. "She broke and broke fast. On the lead, she relaxed. When she switched leads in the stretch, she just went."
Biancone is considering resting La Traviata for a possible run in the new Breeders' Cup Filly and Mare Sprint on October 26 while wondering just how good the filly can be.
Biancone cross-entered La Traviata to possibly face males in the TVG Breeders' Cup Sprint (G1).
"There's nothing much to say, she's unbelievable," Biancone said. "She's a natural."
