The 20-1 longest shot on the board stalked the pacesetter on the outside early under new jockey Eibar Coa, then gave way after a mile but held on to finish third in her stakes debut, beaten 18 lengths. The Niall O'Callaghan trainee improved her record to 1 win, 1 second, and 5 thirds in 9 starts, earning $70,289 for owners William Teinowitz and Marco Bommarito.
