Stella di Camelot wins the Pebbles Stakes in her North American debut at Belmont Park

Stocking his stable with fresh European blood, trainer Chad Brown has entered Irish-bred Stella di Camelot into the $200,000 Mrs. Revere Stakes (G2T) for 3-year-old fillies at Churchill Downs.

The Nov. 23 Mrs. Revere, going 1 1/16 miles on the Matt Winn turf course, is the precursor to the track's traditional "Black Friday" feature, the $500,000 Clark Handicap Presented by Norton Healthcare (G1).

Owned by Madaket Stables, Michael Dubb, Kent Spellman, and Bethlehem Stables, the daughter of Camelot quietly made her North American debut in the Oct. 13 Pebbles Stakes on soft turf at Belmont Park. 

After winning her last race in France in May, Stella di Camelot won the one-mile Pebbles by 2 3/4 lengths, giving her three career wins from eight starts.

The filly will partner with jockey Joel Rosario from post 10.

Four fillies that competed in the Oct. 19 Pin Oak Valley View Stakes (G3T) going 1 1/16 miles at Keeneland are also slated to compete in the Mrs. Revere, including runner-up Get Explicit, third-place finisher Cool Beans, and runners Kabella and High Techwho finsihed sixth and eighth, respectively. 

Modeste Racing Stable homebred Get Explicit will be making a fourth attempt to break through at the graded level after finishing just a half-length short in the Valley View. The Get Stormy  filly won an optional-claiming allowance at Woodbine just before the Keeneland effort and will be making her first start at Churchill for trainer Barbara Minshall.

Brad Cox trained Cool Beans was a head behind Get Explicit in what was her graded stakes debut. The Candy Ride  filly has not finished off the board in seven starts.

A question mark in Friday's race is the lightly raced Norm Casse trainee Angel of Mischief. The Into Mischief  filly placed second in her July 21 debut at Ellis Park, and after a short break, returned Sept. 8 to win a 6 1/2-furlong maiden special weight at Kentucky Downs by 1 3/4 lengths. A month later she followed that win up with an allowance score going 1 1/16 miles over firm turf at Keeneland to again win by 1 3/4 lengths.

Tyler Gafflione has the call aboard Angel of Mischief.
