Talla Racing's 2-year-old filly Julias Dream pressed the pace from second and withstood swift early fractions before grabbing the lead in the stretch and drawing off to win Saturday's $125,000 Gowell Stakes by 4 1/4 lengths at Turfway Park.
Trained by Michael McCarthy, Julias Dream improved her overall mark to three wins from four starts. She was ridden to victory in the Gowell Stakes by Luan Machado while completing six furlongs in 1:11.21.
In the early stages of the race, Baraye was fleet-footed from the rail under jockey Gerardo Corrales but was quickly joined to her outside by Julias Dream. The duo clocked an opening quarter mile in :22.15 and half mile in :45.29. As the field entered the stretch, Julias Dream poked her head in front of her speedy rival and began to draw clear as they entered the final furlong.
Baraye was able to hold the runner-up position by a neck over the fast-closing Pipit. They were followed in order by Pinotslilgirl, Candi Girl, Trial, Edge of Town, Secret Glenda, Kerlo's Cause, and Logistics.
Julias Dream was bet down to the 5-2 post time favorite and paid $7.86 for the victory.
Julias Dream is a daughter of Flameaway out of Cinnamon Girl, by Meadowlake. She was bred in Kentucky by David Soblick.
