2013 Honeybee Stakes
Video Provided By: Partymanners2 Rose to Gold put away heavily favored Flashy Gray in the stretch for a gate-to-wire triumph under Calvin Borel in the $150,000 Honeybee Stakes (gr. III) March 9 at Oaklawn Park. The veteran rider Borel, who posted his 5,000th career victory March 7 at Oaklawn, took 5-1 shot Rose to Gold directly to the front along the inside in the 1 1/16-mile test for 3-year-old fillies, where she dictated the tempo. The daughter of Friends Lake withstood a challenge from 2-5 choice Flashy Gray late on the far turn and proved best in the homestretch. She drew clear late for a 2 3/4-length victory in a time of 1:45.06 on a fast track. http://www.bloodhorse.com/horse-racin…
