Calumet Farm homebred SHE BE SMOOTH (f, 3, Lexitonian–Seattle Smooth, by Quiet American) went to favored fellow firster Prom Queen (Quality Road) entering the final furlong of their respective one-mile debuts Friday afternoon at Gulfstream Park and kicked home smartly to open her account at first asking in very promising fashion.
Fairly well-backed at odds of 9-2, the chestnut filly broke a bit to her inside, but it didn't cost her momentum or position, as she steadily made ground at the inside to enjoy the run of the race from close up in third. Given the hurry-up at the five-sixteenths, She Be Smooth was pulled to the outside to deliver her challenge, dueled with and eventually collared the chalk with about 100 yards to travel and was going away late.
The winner's dam celebrated her finest moment when taking out the 2009 GI Ogden Phipps Handicap for Mercedes Stable and Tony Dutrow and was purchased by Brad Kelley's operation for $300,000 in foal to Malibu Moon at the 2015 Keeneland November Sale. The mare's six previous winners includes 2020 GIII Remington Park Oaks third Seattle Slang (Tapit).
She Be Smooth is the last listed produce for Seattle Smooth.
8th-Gulfstream, $68,000, Msw, 1-23, 3yo, f, 1m, 1:36.59, ft, 2 1/4 lengths.
