The Florida shipper First Dudette ($14.80) recorded a mild upset in an allowance race with a $75,000 claiming option in Thursday's second race for 3-year-old fillies.

Ridden by Rajiv Maragh, First Dudette was always near the front in the seven-furlong race and won by a half-length over Poetic, who was having her first start since a sixth in the Grade 1 Del Mar Debutante last September.

Cognitive, the 2-5 favorite, set the pace to early stretch, but faded to fiish third.

First Dudette, by First Dude, has won 2 of 4 starts. She was recently acquired by a partnership that includes Blinkers On Racing Stable and has been with current trainer Brian Koriner for about a month.

First Dudette previously raced in Florida where she won a maiden special weight race at Gulstream Park West last November.
