Diversy Harbor, sent off at 5-1 in this unveiling, was shuffled back in the field going down the hill while racing off the rail behind fractions of :22.03 and :43.88. Second to last at the top of the lane, the bay filly was angled out some 10 wide by Gary Stevens and unleashed a furious late run to fly clear to a 2 3/4-length victory. Bird in Love (GB) (Byron {GB}) was second. Diversy Harbor, who RNA'd for $95,000 as a Keeneland September yearling before being purchased privately by Glen Hill Farm, is a fourth generation Barbara Hunter-bred. The filly is a half to Keertana (Johar, MGSW & MGISP, $1,031,938); and to Snow Top Mountain (Najran, MGSW & GISP, $525,303). At the dispersal of Hunter's Brownwood Farm during last year's Keeneland January sale, Keertana sold for $1 million to Denali Stud, agent, and Snow Top Mountain brought $950,000 from Audley Farm. Motokiks has a 2-year-old Elusive Quality filly, named Educating and also owned by Glen Hill Farm, as well as a yearling filly by Kitten's Joy. She was bred to Lemon Drop Kid last spring. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $33,600.
