Скачать или смотреть May Day Rose Goes All The Way In Sharp Cat

Stretching out in her first start in more than two months, May Day Rose rolled to a gate-to-wire victory in the $100,000 Sharp Cat Stakes Sunday at Hollywood Park.

Idle since a half-length maiden win going 5 ½ furlongs Sept. 4 at Del Mar, May Day Rose, the 2-1 second choice, quickly established the advantage, disposed of favored Big Tiz and went on to win by a Sharp Cat record 4 ¼ lengths. The previous best was Foxy Danseur's 2 ¾ length victory in 2007.

Owned by Kaleem Shah and trained by Bob Baffert, the 2-year-old daughter of Rockport Harbor and the Pine Bluff mare May Day Bluff has won two of three and earned $100,000.

Ridden by Martin Garcia, May Day Rose, who was bred in Florida by Bridlewood Farm, ran the 1 1/16 miles in 1:44.39. She paid $6.80, $4 and $2.60.

Making her first start since finishing fifth in the Oak Leaf, a Grade I, Oct. 3, True Way of Grace rallied from last in the field of six to gain second, a half-length in front of Big Tiz, the 8-5 choice. True Way of Grace returned $6.40 and $2.80. The show price on Big Tiz, the only Sharp Cat entrant who had won previously at the distance, was $2.40.
