Robert L Beck's MEGASCAPE (Cape Canaveral) took the lead soon

after the start and never looked back en route to a sharp 2 1/4-length

score in the $101,500 Valley Stream S. (G3) at Aqueduct on

Sunday. Trained by Steve Asmussen, the two-year-old filly broke

well and set splits of :22, :45 1/5 and :57 1/5 before completing

the six-furlong feature in 1:10 1/5. The

dark bay was ridden by John Velazquez and gave back $11.60, $3.40

and $2.10 at 9-2.

Alfonsina (Grand Slam), the 3-5 choice, closed well from off

the pace to gain place honors, worth $2.50 and $2.10 while

completing the $30.80 exacta. More Moonlight (More Than Ready)

got the show, good for $2.10 while rounding out the $57.50

trifecta at 3-1. Winsome (War Chant) was 5 3/4 lengths farther

back and trailed by Galatic Cat (Forest Wildcat), who was pulled

up prior to the finish.

Megascape moved her mark to 5-3-0-1 with earnings of $161,740.

The filly captured the Joseph A.Gimma S. for New York breds two

prior.

Bred in the Empire State by Sez Who Thoroughbreds, the winner

was purchased at the 2004 OBS Two-Year-Old In-Training Sale for

$80,000. She was produced from the winning Megaturn mare Bigger

Half, and has an unnamed yearling half-brother by Rizzi.
