Prosecco (Girvin) looked more or less hopeless for the opening half-mile of this career bow, but found her best stride when it mattered most to get the job done in Friday's seventh race from Churchill Downs.Pinched back at the break, the $425,000 Keeneland September yearling began to lose touch with the rest of the field down the backstretch and was a good five lengths' last passing the half-mile pole.Carrying the Belladonna silks, Prosecco began to improve on the turn and had caught up to her rivals at the head of the lane, but with plenty of work to do. Wide off the turn, she advanced to be a chance at the furlong grounds and dove down to the inside of Appeals to Me (Maxfield) to be up in the nick of time.Springhouse Farm purchased Spa Treatment, a daughter of SW & GISP Silver Knockers (Silver Deputy) for $140,000 at the 2019 Fasig-Tipton Mixed Sale in Saratoga and Prosecco is her fourth winner from as many to race. The mare is also responsible for a yearling filly by Nyquist and a colt by Good Magic foaled this season.7th-Churchill Downs, $122,184, Msw, 9-11, 2yo, f, 6f, 1:12.20, gd, neck.PROSECCO (f, 2, Girvin–Spa Treatment, by Bernardini) Sales history: $425,000 Ylg '25 KEESEP.
