As the promising 2-year-old filly Naughty Gal barreled into the stretch at Saratoga Race Course in the $200,000 Adirondack Stakes (G3) Aug. 7, she got a little, well, naughty. When Naughty Gal wandered, it appeared as though the Mark Casse-trained Janis Joplin would take advantage and get to the wire first as she attempted to rally in the stretch. Prevailing was Naughty Gal, whose stride never wavered as she gobbled up the ground in the middle of the track. The filly out of stakes winner Conway Two Step by Spanish Steps won for the second time in three starts. She broke her maiden by 9 1/4 lengths at Churchill Downs on the Fourth of July to become the fifth winner for her mare.
