Love's Blush made every step a winning one in the feature race, a $43,000 allowance, at Delaware Park Monday.
With Rosie Napravnik aboard, the 4-year-old daughter of Not For Love won by 2-lengths and returned $5.60 as the second choice in the field of six. The Maryland-bred conditioned by Rodney Jenkins cut early fractions of :49.05 for the half mile and 1:12.83 for the three-quarters mile before finishing the mile and a sixteenth in 1:44.70.
Haven's Honey, with Gabriel Saez, closed for second a head in front of D Day, with Ricardo Chiappe, in third. The even money favorite, Song of Solomon with Jeremy Rose, finished last.
Previously, Love's Blush was unplaced in the mile and a sixteenth Grade III Gallorette Handicap on the Pimlico grass on May 15. Her career record is four wins from 13 starts with earnings of $145,487.
