Worstcasescenario, a 2-year-old daughter of Forbidden Apple bred and raised at Bridlewood Farm, showed that she could be something very special on August 19th, stepping up into graded stakes company at the toughest 2-year-old meet in North America – the historic Saratoga Racecourse – and decisively drawing away from a promising group of young fillies to win the $150,000 Adirondack S. (G2).

Worstcasescenario, who much like most of the field had broken her maiden in her first and only start at Belmont, broke well and was forwardly-placed by jockey Alan Garcia. As the field sorted out down the backstretch, the bay filly found herself stalking the favored and highly-touted Dashing Debby through fast early fractions, including hitting the half-mile mark in a swift 44.32 seconds.

With an impressive surge, Worstcasescenario moved up alongside the favored pacesetter and seemingly effortlessly kicked right on past her turning for home. Despite tracking the fast early pace, she showed her mettle in the stretch, finishing strongly and drawing clear of the field to prove much the best at the wire. The final margin was 4 1/4 lengths and the final time was 1:16.72 over a fast local maintrack.

Worstcasescenario was bred by the late Arthur Appleton from Bridlewood stallion Forbidden Apple, and she hails from the Halo mare Stacie's Halo. Bridlewood raised, broke and trained Worstcasescenario up until earlier this year when the filly was sold for $120,000 at the OBS April Two-Year-Olds in Training Sale to current owner Klaravich Stables, Inc. and W.H. Lawrence after breezing a bullet eighth of a mile in 9.3 seconds.

Trained now by Richard Violette, Jr., Worstcasescenario ran her record to a perfect 2-for-2 with earnings of $115,800.
