VANILLA SUNDAE (f, 3, Gun Runner–Vanilla Bean Back, by Empire Maker) finished sixth as the third wagering choice in her career debut sprinting six panels at the Spa last August before catching another off track in her next start–a mile test at the Big A Nov. 21–and faded late to finish a well-beaten fourth. Finally catching a fast track this time, the even-money second choice sprinted to the front, carving out a modest :24.18 quarter mile. Still on top through a :48.02 half, she started to draw away from the compact field turning for home and rolled home all alone, winning by 15 3/4 lengths over Stone Cold Kelly (Laoban). Stablemate Ice Cream Boat (Outwork) rounded out the trifecta. Sales History: $150,000 Ylg '23 KEESEP. Lifetime Record: 3-1-0-0, $52,400.
