Fev Rover Punches Breeders’ Cup Ticket In Beverly D

The lone 'Win and You're In” Challenge race of the day which offered entry into the GI Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf went to Fev Rover (Ire) (Gutaifan {Ire}–Laurelita {Ire} by High Chaparral {Ire}) in Saturday's GI Beverly D S. at Colonial Downs. The inaugural running at the Virginia track was a front-running one for the 5-year-old mare, as she set the pace from the outset, controlled the pedestrian fractions up front and in the end she was able to get away by three lengths as Gina Romantica (Into Mischief) ran second. This was the winner's first Grade I victory of her career.
