PIEDRA PRECIOSA (f, 2, Maxfield–Dancing Alone, by Kingmambo) represented her freshman sire with his first win here when she gamely took the opener in a blanket finish. Out to keep the leader honest, she pushed the issue through an opening quarter in :23.32 and swung into the lane behind four panels in :47.37 as Wanna Go Home (Instagrand) came calling for the lead, eventually heading Piedra Preciosa as the fillies fought to the wire. With Mescat (Cupid) coming fast via the overland route, the trio hit the wire in tandem, separated by a fleet of noses as Piedra Preciosa on the rail claimed victory with Wanna Go Home fending off the third-placer.
The first winner from Maxfield (by Street Sense)'s first crop, the victress is a half-sibling to a pair of graded runners, namely Dancing Solo (Giant's Causeway), GSW, $172,673 and Dancing (Bernardini), GISP. Another half-sister is the dam of SP Stride (Candy Ride {Arg}) while Piedra Preciosa's younger siblings include a yearling half-sister by Drain the Clock. Their dam is due to Loggins for 2025.
