Dazzlin Effort covered her 350-yard trip in :17.639 against an 8-mph head wind. James Flores rode the 8-year-old mare for owner Terry McLean of Claremore, Oklahoma, and trainer Gerry McLean.
Dazzlin Effort was coming off of a Remington Park spring campaign in which she ran second in an open-condition $31,000 allowance dash on March 11. The mare has upped her earnings to $138,644 with the Belles Stakes winner’s share, and her race record is 37-13(1)-8-1. She was also a finalist in this year’s Decketta Stakes-G3.
Dazzlin Effort was bred in Oklahoma by Jaime Gomez of Anaheim, California, one of the premier Quarter Horse trainers at Los Alamitos Racecourse.
One of three winners from four starters out of unraced Special Dazz, Dazzlin Effort is a 1/2-sister to stakes winner Kep Me Fire and stakes placed Dazzling Dutch. Dazzlin Effort traces back to her third dam, 1974 Rainbow Derby winner Azure Te. All told, Dazzlin Effort has won 14 of 38 outs and has banked $138,554.
