Sugar Treat became the first winner for Darley stallion Enticed with a determined debut victory June 10 at Gulfstream Park.
Sent off as the second choice in the field of eight fillies in the five-furlong maiden special weight, Sugar Treat tracked the pace and was forced to steady at the 7/16ths pole entering the far turn. Recovering swiftly under jockey Edgar Perez, she raced three-wide down the stretch and collared the frontrunner in the final strides.
Striking the wire a half-length in front, Sugar Treat ($8.20) was timed in :58.50 on the all-weather surface.
D.J. Stable picked up the filly for $120,000 at this year's Ocala Breeders' Sales Company March Sale of 2-Year-Olds in Training Sale after she worked a quarter-mile in :21 2/5 at the under tack show. Gary Barber partnered up with D.J. Stable to campaign Sugar Treat, who is trained by Mark Casse.
