Dance Again rallied last to first to defeat her Sam-Son Farms stablemate Smartyfly in Saturday’s $150,000 Carotene Stakes, at Woodbine.
Trained by Malcolm Pierce, the striking bay daughter of Awesome Again-Dance With Doves earned her first added-money win with a powerful closing move down the middle of the turf course covering 1 1/8-miles in 1:49.90 under Patrick Husbands.
Dance Again broke her maiden in February in an off-the-turf maiden allowance at Fair Grounds in Louisiana, and has placed consistently since that score while racing at Keeneland and Woodbine with a pair of seconds and a third-place run through six sophomore starts.
