Sangria Summer swoops late to win the $123,200 Grade 3 Shady DaisyEAST RUTHERFORD, NJ – Canadian invader Sangria Summer (Captaintreacherous) swooped onto the scene late from a prime stalking trip to foil hard-strung odds-on favorite Be Perfect BG and win the $123,200 Grade 3 Shady Daisy, for 3-year-old pacing fillies, in the final strides of a 1:48.1 mile on Saturday (Aug. 8) at The Meadowlands.
Leaving from post 7, driver James MacDonald pushed Sangria Summer forward and found a seat in third as Darlin’s Angel motored from the pylon post for the lead into a :26 first quarter.
Car Keys edged out of third with a mild bid after the leader, tracked by Sangria Summer, while Be Perfect BG rolled through three-quarters in 1:21.4.
Though the long early brush by the favorite showed its toll in the stretch when Darlin’s Angel ripped from the pocket and narrowed on the leader with Sangria Summer gathering steam even wider.
Luc Blais trains Sangria Summer, a daughter of Captaintreacherous-Shower Play, for Serge Godin’s Determination, which purchased this filly after the first start of her sophomore season from Ontario-based trainer Kevin Benn.
