ODE TO EVENING (GB) (c, 2, Poet's Voice {GB}–Ever Love {Brz} {Ch. 2yo & 3yo Filly & MG1SW-Brz, $116,471}, by Nedawi {GB}), who was fifth after a tardy start to a competitive York maiden on debut May 14, broke well against the stand's side and quickly had control. Sent clear inside the final quarter mile, the 7-4 favorite was eased to record an impressive nine-length success from Flying Pursuit (GB) (Pastoral Pursuits {GB}). Ode To Evening becomes the third winner for his first-season sire (by Dubawi {Ire}). Lifetime Record: 2-1-0-0, £3,881. Video, sponsored by Fasig-Tipton.
