Making her second start, MISTY’S BANSHEE (Golden Lad) wired the field and skipped to a 5 1/4 graduation going a mile on the dirt atLaurel. She is a Hillwood Stables, LLC homebred trained by  Brittany T. Russell. The 3-year-old filly had her start at the Aiken Training Track with Cary Frommer.

Cary Frommer got both started in Aiken.

The cleverly named RUNAWAY MONET (Paynter) has been on the board in all but one of her MSW starts and today got the job done despite a bump at the start. In fact, she did the job so well, she won by almost 10 lengths. She raced 1 1/16 at Laurel for trainer Rodney Jenkins and owner/breeder Nicewonder Stable.

At Delaware Park, SAILOR’S SALUTE (Midshipman) also broke her maiden. She is trained by Richard J. Hendriks for owner Wendy W. Hendriks and was bred by John R. Penn. Racing 7 1/2 furlongs, she stalked and then cleared for the win.

Graded SW CITY BOY (City Zip) added another stakes placing to his page running 3rd  in the Vice Regent Stakes at Woodbine. Sprinting 5 furlongs on the turf, he settled mid pack and then came 3 or 4 wide to land the show position. He is owned by The Estate of Gustav Schickedanz and Donald Howard and was bred by Gustav Schickedanz. He is trained by Mike Keogh.

Liam’s Dove Gets It Done – Wins the DEL MAR JUVENILE FILLIES TURF S

Gary Barber’s Liam’s Dove broke her maiden in her third career start when she hung on by a head to win the $103,000 Del Mar Juvenile Fillies Turf Stakes.

Ridden by Kyle Frey for trainer Peter Miller, Liam’sDove set the pace and had a 2 1/2-length advantage inthe stretch, but Helens Well rallied from last of 11 andcut the margin down to a head at the wire. The Liam’s Map filly ($71.80) completed the mile in 1:36.65 onfirm turf, paying.

Liam’s Dove was bred in Kentucky by Marablue Farm out of the Hawk Wing mare The Dove, whose last
registered foal is a yearling Goldencents filly.

Carry Frommer, agent, purchased Liam’s Dovefor $75,000 out of Taylor Made Sales Agency’s
consignment to the 2020 Fasig-Tipton Selected Yearlings Showcase. Frommer then consigned the filly
to the Ocala Breeders’ Sales Spring Sale of 2-Year-Olds in Training, where Miller, acting as agent, bought her for $120,000. With a win and a third in three starts, Liam’s Dove has earned $68,900.

“She fell out of there and I saw that we were all pretty much in a straight line,” said winning rider Kyle Frey. “So, I clucked to her a little bit and got a good spot up front. On the backside I saw her ears go up, and that’s when you know they’re happy. We just went on with it from there and she got it done.”

8 year old gelding graded stakes-winner  BALLAGH ROCKS (Stormy Atlantic) has been around the block more than once and even been in Aiken with more than one trainer. Most recently he was trained by Legacy Stable. Racing in allowance company at Colonial Downs, he made a rail bid going a mile and drew clear for the win.
