Stakes at Arapahoe Park on May 27.
Ridden by Malouly Rodriguez, Scholarly broke
alertly and on top in the dash to assume command early. She opened up a 1-length advantage in the stretch and then withstood a strong late rally from odds-on race favorite Dauns First Desirio to score by a neck at the wire.
Scholarly was never headed and completed the 330 yards in :16.664, earning a 102 speed index.
In registering her fourth stakes victory, Scholarly improved her career record to 18-6(4)-5(1)-0 and the $9,000 winner’s share of the purse increased her bankroll to $65,600 for owner Alberto Duenas and trainer Jose Moreno.
She owns three additional stakes wins, includ- ing the California Breeders’ Freshman Futurity, California Breeders’ Debutante Stakes and Blue Grass Bounce Handicap all at Los Alamitos.
Edward Allred bred Scholarly out of 2-time winner Now You Comeat Noon. She is a full sister to Grade 1 winners Diller A Dollar and Ten Oclock Scholar. Now You Comeat Noon has produced 100% money earners from four starters, three of them are winners. Scholarly is her first stakes winner and top money earner.
Runner-up Dauns First Desirio (Desirio-First Daun Express) was gaining late under Daniel Valles but had to settle for second for owner Rogelio Carbajal-Santos and trainer Eliazar Salas.
Stormy Red Morning (Red Storm Cat-Sweet First Jean) and jockey Jaciel Soto finished third for owner Robert Duane Rodgers and trainer Tim Weeder.
Hearts Ona Hero (Valiant Hero-Dashing Uno) and Im Beau Brown (PYC Paint Your Wagon-Special Smoothie) completed the order of finish. He Too Looks Hot was scratched.
