‘War’ Triumphs in turf, route bow at Gulfstream

[Wandering Eyes]

Sent off at 5-2 for her turf and route debut, EVE OF WAR (f, 3, Declaration if War–Special Thanks, by Broken Vow) held the advantage all the way around at to mark her return to the winner’s circle Gulfstream Park Friday afternoon. Cleanly away, the chestnut assumed a narrow advantage over New Day Dawning (Medaglia d’Oro), who was prompted by Secret Stash (Mukhadram {GB}) and Sky Snow (Lemon Drop Kid). Still in front through a half in :47.84, the Todd Pletcher trainee looked to have something left in the tank as she turned into the stretch still leading the way. Tackled to her outside by the ultra-game Secret Stash, she appeared to be momentarily headed by that rival, but fought back with determination to score by a half length over her fellow 5-2 chance. Ella Brilla (Kitten’s Joy) rounded out the trifecta. A flashy debut winner going six panels over the Gulfstream dirt Feb. 2, Eve of War finished sixth last time out going 6 1/2 furlongs at the Hallandale oval Feb. 28. Final time for the nine-furlong test was 1:47.00. Lifetime Record: 3-2-0-0, $55,600. O-Treadway Racing Stable; B-Jeff Treadway (KY); T-Todd Pletcher.
