2006 Pimlico Special and Black-Eyed Susan Results

The only stakes event on the turf on Friday was the $75,000 The Very One, a 5-furlong sprint over the Pimlico lawn for older fillies and mares. Even-money favorite Gilded Gold did not disappoint her backers by taking the event on the front end the whole way, winning by 2 1/2 lengths over Bright Gold in 57.37 seconds. Winning rider Javier Castellano said, "I got a very good jump from the gate. She was so sharp and quick from the gate it only added to my confidence. She was much the best, and I only had to hold on." Owner Barry Weisbord said, that Gilded Gold would be pointed at the Summit of Speed at Calder in July.
