The Bjorn Baker trained five year-old was strong to the line, edging out a determined Gayatri to win by a head, taking her overall record to six wins and seven placings from 32 starts with prizemoney just shy of $300,000.

The 99th stakes-winner for Savabeel, she is the 14th stakes-winner for him bred from a daughter of O’Reilly.

The nick runs at 12.2% stakes-winners to runners and has produced Group I winners Costume, Savaria, Diademe and Embellish.
