Front-running Beau Dare wins Kentucky Cup Juvenile Fillies
Posted: Saturday, September 17, 2005
David Walt's Stable's Beau Dare settled in nicely on the lead under jockey John McKee in her first stakes attempt and responded with a rush when roused in a 6 1/4-length romp on Saturday in the $100,000 Kentucky Cup Juvenile Fillies Stakes at Turfway Park.
The two-year-old daughter of Military shot out of the starting gate and dashed quickly to the front, opening up by 1 1/2 lengths through an opening quarter in :23.45. McKee was able to relax his mount once she powered to the front and slowed Beau Dare into a comfortable gallop in the one-mile race.
Beau Dare, trained by Robert Holthus, sailed through six furlongs in 1:13.82 before McKee called upon the bay filly. When asked for her best run, Beau Dare shook free of the field with an eager burst en route to a convincing triumph, completing the circuit in 1:38.93 over a fast Polytrack surface.
Delicate Dynamite rallied from more than nine lengths off the pace for the place, while Grade 3-placed Joint Effort edged 1.30-to-1 favorite Fast Deal by a neck for third.
Beau Dare finished a well-beaten fourth in a 5 1/2-furlong maiden special weight race on the dirt in her career debut at Saratoga Race Course on July 28. She turned in a much-improved effort when stretching out to one mile on the turf at Arlington Park on August 26, drawing clear to prevail by 2 3/4 lengths.
Her career earnings are $79,250.
Bred in Kentucky by Mike Walts, Beau Dare is out of the Beau Genius mare Gen Corp Purposes.
