YARA'S QUEST (c, 2, Liam's Map–Yara {GSW, $398,390}, by Put It Back), given a 4-1 chance in this debut run, was hustled to the front from his inside draw and raced under pressure through an opening quarter in :22.64. Overtaken approaching the quarter pole and appearing to be heading the wrong way, Yara's Quest was resurgent along the rail in the stretch and battled back gamely to record a one-length victory over On the Level (Classic Empire). The winner is a half-brother to Moon Swag (Malibu Moon), MSW & MGSP, $369,000. Yara's 2023 produce, the filly Candara (Connect), was sent to the Republic of Korea. This is the extended female family of GISWs Healthy Addiction (Boston Harbor) and her daughter My Sweet Addiction (Tiznow). Sales history: $300,000 Ylg '23 KEESEP. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $28,200.
