Sweet Nkosi has found a home at Turfway Park since her first start there in early January. The 3-year-old filly by A. P. Warrior is 2-1-0 in her three tries in Florence after scoring a stunning victory on Feb. 19, going wire-to-wire at 5 1/2 furlongs under Victor Lebron.
The Kentucky-bred filly shot to the lead after the break and widened it at every call, opening up 10 lengths in the stretch and cruising home by 6 1/2 when her rider practically stood up in the irons in the final sixteenth.
