Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted August 11, 2024 Journalists Posted August 11, 2024 NEW KENT COUNTY, VA — For the second consecutive year, the trophy for the GII Beverly D. Stakes will go back to Canada after the country's reigning Horse of the Year MOIRA (m, 5, Ghostzapper–Devine Aida, by Unbridled's Song) got just the better of a final-furlong battle with defending champion Fev Rover (Ire) (Gutaifan {Ire}). The Tracy Farmer runner left there running and although she had a bit of pesky early pressure from Libban (Laoban), Fev Rover was a clear leader turning up the backside as Moira set up camp three deep in the breeze. Allowed to slow the tempo through the middle furlongs, Fev Rover was still going very well approaching the stretch, holding a clear tactical advantage over Moira, who was consigned to a ground-sacrificing move around the bend. Moira rolled up to Fev Rover and looked as if she was going to speed right on by, but Fev Rover dug in doggedly, only to go down by a short head at the wire. Moira earns a fees-paid berth into the GI Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf, a race in which she was a brave third in 2023. Sales history: $150,000 Ylg '20 KEESEP; $3,000,000 HRA '23 FTKNOV. Lifetime Record: 15-6-5-2. O-Lanni Bloodstock, Madaket Stables & SF Racing; B-Adena Springs (ON); T-Kevin Attard. An epic finish in the $500,000 Beverly D. Stakes (G2) as #6 MOIRA outduels Fev Rover for the win. @jose93_ortiz up for @kevin_attard on the popular Ontario-bred. pic.twitter.com/bKsOxuExug — FanDuel Racing (@FanDuel_Racing) August 11, 2024 The post Moira Outlasts Pacesetting Fev Rover In Beverly D. appeared first on TDN | Thoroughbred Daily News | Horse Racing News, Results and Video | Thoroughbred Breeding and Auctions.
