Beverly D. Stakes - Mauralakana

Mauralakana was scheduled to be retired to the breeding shed after Saturday's $750,000 Beverly D. Stakes, but after a 1 1/4-length win under Kent Desormeaux, the Christophe Clement trainee will now begin preparing for the October 24 Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Turf at Santa Anita. The bay five-year-old earned an automatic berth in that 11-furlong grass event when finishing the 1 3/16-mile Beverly D. in 1:55 on the firm turf.
