+STELLA ROSE (f, 3, Mineshaft">Mineshaft–Stella Prima, by El Prado {Ire}) made easy work of this four-horse field in her career opener. The bay showed an upbeat worktab at Christophe Clement's Payson base, including a trio of bullet workouts, most recently covering the four-furlong distance in :49 (1/13) Mar. 27. Backed at odds of 8-5, she stalked the early leader in second through fractions of :24.18 and :47.18, took over when ready on the far turn, and was kept to task in the stretch to graduate by five lengths. My Awesome Mom (Awesome Again) was second. The Stronach homebred is out of an unraced half-sister to Canadian champions Poetically (Silver Deputy) and Primaly (Alydeed); and GI Gamely S. winner Citronade (Lemon Drop Kid). Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $21,600. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by Fasig-Tipton.
