Givememore captures U.S. bow

Group 2 Brazilian winner GIVEMEMORE (Brz) (Special Nash [Ire]) made her first

U.S. appearance a winning one on Tuesday when capturing the $40,000

Our Dear

Peggy S. at Calder. Now trained by Kenny McPeek, the three-year-old filly

recorded a 4-3-1-0 mark in her native country, including Group 2 and Group 3

wins, before being acquired by her new connections. She came off a 206-day

layoff to defeat five sophomore rivals.

Sent off at 3-1 with Manoel Cruz in the saddle, Givememore tracked pacesetter

and 2-5 favorite Forestier (Forestry) down the backstretch of the 6 1/2-furlong

event. Miracle Runner (French Deputy) inherited

the lead in deep stretch from Forestier but couldn't hold off Givememore, who

rallied on the outside through the stretch to get up for a neck

victory in the final strides. Forestier wound up finishing another

half-length back in third. The eventual winner stopped the teletimer over the fast track

in 1:17 3/5.

Bred in Brazil by Haras Mabruk and owned by Alnoff Stable, the chestnut lass

is out of the Group 2-placed Super Mensity (Stouci).
