David Miller drove When Dovescry, the 2-5 favorite, to fractions of :29, :59, and 1:27.2 on her way to her third victory in a row for trainer Brett Pelling.

Sorella and Weslynn Quest, the only other horses in the eight-horse field with odds in single digits, at 5-1 each, both went off stride.

For the season, When Dovescry has won six of 12 starts, pushing her career totals to 18 triumphs in 41 races. She has earned $1.42 million lifetime.

“She is absolutely one of the most perfect lovely horses you could ever have in your stable,” Pelling said about the 5-year-old mare, who won the Armbro Flight Stakes in her previous start. “She is a pleasure to be around. We love her, she loves us.”

When Dovescry is owned by John Lengacher. The daughter of Muscle Hill-Cedar Dove was bred by William Weaver III.

She paid $2.80 to win.
