A First-Out Win For Nymph
It was a smashing debut today for NYMPH, who turned in a very gutsy performance to win going 5 1/2 furlongs on the main track at Delaware Park. Jockey Angel Suarez gave her a stellar ride, keeping her to task around the turn before hooking up with leader Liscolvin at the top of the lane. […]
