Robert Harvey’s Calling Rhy Rhy, expertly handled by Alan Garcia, answered the call with a powerful front-running performance in Sunday’s $150,000 Jammed Lovely Stakes, at Woodbine.
Calling Rhy Rhy, trained by Roger Attfield, avenged her Duchess Stakes loss to Jammed Lovely rival Tiz Imaginary with a prominent effort in Sunday’s seven furlong sprint for Ontario-bred sophomore fillies. The City Zip bay outdueled Westlodge Intrigue through splits of :24.01 and :46.86, putting away her rival through the bend.
Tiz Imaginary and Conquest Fleetfeet loomed large late in the turn but a fluid Calling Rhy Rhy had plenty left in the tank and strode home a confident 2 1/4-length winner. Tiz Imaginary stayed on for place in front of Conquest Fleetfeet. Calling Rhy Rhy covered seven furlongs in 1:22.59.
