Carl R. Moore Management and Brad Grady's Mom's On Strike drew away from her closest rivals in the stretch for a 3¼-length victory over 3-5 favorite Daddys Lil Darling in the 57th running of the $150,000 Bewitch (G3) before a closing-day crowd of 18,690.
The victory marked the first graded stakes win in North America for jockey Adam Beschizza, who rode Triple Chelsea to win the April 14 Giant's Causeway (L) at Keeneland. Both winners are trained by Joe Sharp.
In the Bewitch, Beschizza was content to race near the back of the pack on Mom's On Strike in the early stages of the 1½-mile turf race. Meanwhile, Sully's Dream led her six rivals through fractions of :24.95, :49.65, 1:14.34 and 1 mile in 1:39.18.
