2nd-Keeneland, $79,675, Msw, 4-21, 2yo, 4 1/2f, :53.41, ft, head.
DREAMAWAY (f, 2, Flameaway–Dream Dancing {GISW, $483,271}, by Tapit) came into this race sporting a recent bullet three-furlong work in :35 3/5 over this surface Apr. 5 and was duly made the 1-2 favorite to make good while facing the boys. Narrowly in front through an opening quarter in :22.48, the grey had to battle all the way through, but proved best at the end, scoring by a head over fellow firster Clever Again (American Pharoah). Mo Hair Sam (Mo Town) rounded out the trifecta. The hombred is out of GI Del Mar Oaks winner Dream Dancing, a granddaughter of champion older mare Beautiful Pleasure (Maudlin). In addition to Dreamaway, John Oxley also campaigned her first two dams. Dream Dancing is also responsible for a juvenile filly by Gun Runner and a colt foaled this season by Justify. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $47,740. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by FanDuel TV.
