The 3-year-old Juddmonte homebred won the Tranquility Lake S. on Sept. 2 at Del Mar by 10 lengths, and along with Top Gunner’s victory in the Parx Sprint, was one of Into Mischief’s two stakes winners on Saturday.
Show Card was third in the early stages of the one-mile race before taking the lead with a three-wide move going into the final turn. She shook clear at the top of the stretch before holding off a game effort from the Spendthrift Farm-owned Coffee in Bed to get the distance in 1:37.75 on a fast track.
“She broke out and a little slow, but it worked out well,” said winning rider Juan Hernandez. “We were able to sit off the leaders and in the clear. She was strong through the stretch and I look forward to riding her again.”
Show Card is now 4-0-1 in seven starts and has earned $223,550.
Pedigree Notes from the TDN
Show Card is out of Cognitive who was purchased as a yearling by Juddmonte for $500,000 at Fasig-Tipton’s Saratoga Sale in 2016. This is the family of MGISW Dream Rush and her daughter, GISW Dreaming of Julia (A.P. Indy). Cognitive has a yearling full-sister to Show Card.
