White Clover winning the Wayward Lass on 1/23<br />

Other Notes: White Clover’s victory was one of two stakes scores during the 2015-20<strong>16</strong> meeting for the trainer-jockey combination of George<br />

“Rusty” Arnold, II, and Victor Lebron, who also won the Suncoast Stakes with 3-year-old filly Weep No More. Awesome Flower’s 2015 Wayward Lass<br />

victory not only was achieved in stakes-record time, it was her fourth stakes triumph since June of 2014. Dress the Part, the 2014 winner, was 3for3<br />

at Tampa Bay Downs during the 2013-14 season, all with Ronnie Allen, Jr., in the irons. Her sire, Malibu Moon, also sired 2013 Kentucky Derby<br />

Presented by Yum! Brands winner Orb. The 2013 Wayward Lass Stakes winner, Janis R. Whitham’s 4-year-old homebred Magic Hour, takes a backseat<br />

to few Thoroughbreds in terms of pedigree. Her sire, Awesome Again, won the 1998 Breeders’ Cup Classic. Magic Hour’s dam Affluent won four Grade<br />

I stakes for Whitham and trainer Ron McAnally; Affluent’s sire, the great Affirmed, won the 1978 Triple Crown. Arena Elvira’s thrilling Wayward Lass<br />

victory in 2012 was her fifth consecutive stakes triumph for local owner Carolyn Wilson. Previously, Arena Elvira won a pair of stakes at Saratoga in<br />

the summer of 2011, the Grade III Turnback the Alarm at Aqueduct and the Grade II Falls City Handicap at Churchill Downs. Arena Elvira’s Wayward<br />

Lass jockey, Leandro Goncalves, won the 2011 edition on Choragus. Don’t Forget Gil, the 2010 winner, loved Tampa Bay Downs; she won the Grade<br />

III Florida Oaks in 2009. Inside Affair, owned by Harold Queen of nearby Clearwater, Fla., won the Wayward Lass in 2000 and 2001. In 1985, the first<br />

running of the Wayward Lass Stakes was at 1 1/8 miles. Queen Alexandra won both the 1987 and 1988 editions of the Wayward Lass Stakes. She was<br />

trained by George Baker.<br />
