KINGSTON, Jamaica - Volatility gave her trainer Anthony Nunes a winning start to this year’s three-year-old campaign with a workable win in a maiden call on the five-furlong round course.
Bred by Hedge Fund out of the Liquidity mare Fashionista, the bay filly Volatility was a length and three quarters ahead of Whizz Kidd (Robert Halledeen) and Smooth Aviator. The splits were 24.2 x 48.1, leading to a final time of 1:01.1.
"She [Volatility] is a nice filly. I trained her mother Fashionista and this is her first foal but unfortunately, Fashionista died and we have her [Volatility] brother, a nice two-year-old by Sensational Slam.
"It is either I am getting old now as these are like my grandchildren because I am now training the grandchildren from the horses I used to train. It is nice and she [Fashionista] was a nice filly herself and a nice sprinter and I expect the same from Volatility.
"The time of 1:01.2 wasn’t that bad because the track hasn’t been lightning fast and it is a pretty decent time from a filly that wasn’t been warmed up to the fullest and so I expect her to improve," Nunes said.
