NIGHT BEACON (f, 2, Spun to Run–Stormandaprayer {SP, $169,484}, by Songandaprayer) made every pole a winning one as she handed her first-crop sire (by Hard Spun) the first victory of his stallion career. The juvenile set the tone from the outset and continued to hold sway around the far turn. Night Beacon won in geared down fashion, as So There She Was (Munnings) tried to make up ground for second. Gainesway's sire, who won the GI Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile over the same surface, has 89 foals of racing age to his credit. The winner is a half-sister to Harlands Thunder (Harlan's Holiday), GSP, $105,800 and to Classicstateofmind (Classic Empire), SW, $128,060. Stormandaprayer foaled a filly by Girvin Feb. 5. Sales History: $45,000 Ylg '23 KEEJAN. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $32,400. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by FanDuel TV.
