NOSTALGIC (f, 3, Medaglia d’Oro–Been Here Before, by Tapit) added a banner day for Godolphin with a win over the popular Venti Valentine (Line of Fire) in Aqueduct’s GIII Gazelle S. Saturday. A dominant option claimant winner at Gulfstream this past March 3, the mixed-race was put out 4-1 here. Savings mid-package when Venti Valentine launched: 24.48 first quarter, the bay rose to third when half went in: 49.26. Hot on the tail of the leader heading back home, she broke into her late and kicked the ball clear to score. Godolphin and Mott also teamed up to win GI Carter H. with Speaker’s Corner (Street Sense) a race before and Brendan Walsh shouldered Godolphin in terms of house-line popularity (Medaglia d’Oro) to win the GIII Commonwealth S.
