DELAHAYE (f, 3, Medaglia d'Oro–Bella Carina, by War Front) was last seen missing by a neck on debut in February at Gulfstream Park. Rewarded as the 3-5 choice here, the dark bay was taken back into second along the rail as she passed the grandstand, waited for her cue around the far turn and she powered past War Princess (War Front) to triumphantly return to the races. Her unraced dam's first progeny, the winner has a yearling half-brother by Not This Time and an April half-brother by Gun Runner. Not bred for next year, Bella Carina counts as half-siblings MGSW Valid (Medaglia d'Oro) and GI Ruffian Invitational H. victress Malibu Prayer (Malibu Moon), who herself produced $1.2 million Keeneland September buy from last year Cartucho (Gun Runner). Under Delahaye's third dam we find GI Carter H. hero Swagger Jack (Smart Strike) and his older half-sister GSW Tap Dance (Pleasant Tap). Sales History: $550,000 Ylg '21 KEESEP.
