10th-GP, $40,000, Msw, 12-27, 2yo, f, 5fT, :56.90, fm. COMICA (f, 2, Warrior's Reward--Funny Pages, by Rahy) checked in a well-beaten third on the Churchill main track June 25, and was let go at 14-1 while adding Lasix. Breaking from the far-outside post, she was well off the pace in a strungout field, but gobbled up ground down the center of the course late to best fellow first-time-Lasix recipient and 45-1 outsider Sweet Summer Sweat (After Market) by a neck. The $2 exacta returned $821.  Comica is the first foal out of Funny Pages, who belied 12-1 odds to break her maiden second out, also getting first time Lasix from trainer Ian Wilkes, at Ellis in 2011. From the extended female family of Distorted Humor, Funny Pages produced a fullsister to Comica in 2014, and a Spring At Last colt earlier this year. She was bred back to Haynesfield. Lifetime Record: 2-1-0-1, $28,770. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by Fasig-Tipton. O-Tracey Wilkes & Suzi Shoemaker; B-L
