R Morning Brew gives them the slip

After breaking her maiden in her career debut at Gulfstream Park, then winning the $100,000 Desert Vixen Stakes, R Morning Brew contested four black-type races and posted two thirds, a fourth and a fifth. That string ended with a sharp score in a $57,000 allowance optional claimer over a muddy surface at Gulfstream with Edgard Zayas in the saddle.

The 3-year-old Curlin’s Honor filly left the gate running, battled up front through fractions of :22.64 and :46.35, surged into the lead on the turn and widened down the lane as announcer Pete Aiello barked “R Morning Brew has given them the slip.”

The $30,000 OBS April 2-year-old bred by Dori Morgan Hyatt was 3 1/2 lengths to the good at the wire, clocked in 1:17.87. She paid $7.20 and collected a check for $33,000, increasing her total to $177,500 on a record of 3-0-2 in seven starts for owner Richard Averill. She received an Equibase ‘E’ speed figure of 91, best of her career.
