Six Furlongs on the Dirt
November 14, 2026

Once all the claiming crown races were over, it was time to focus on the feature race of the day at CD, the 13th running of the Dream Supreme and it’s $300.00 purse. It drew a field of five, and there was much to love about the race. Fittingly then, the race was won by Love, a four year old filly from Mo Mentum Farm. She was not out top pick, but was among our picks, so it was a surprise to see her go off as the longest shot on the board at close to 15/1. Her victory is the first in the race for Mo Mentum and jockey J R Velazquez. Congratulations to them! The time of the win was 1:09.19, which equals the stake record from 2021. Let’s take a look at it now!

(1/4 Mile- :22.56)- From the rail, the Royalty Stables- trained Eaton is the quickest out of the gate, but she will soon be joined out front by the post-time favorite, Soliloquy Sunset, from Nakamura Stables. TwinTowersRacing’s Absent Friends stalks the pace while to the inside and right next to her is our eventual winner from Mo Mentum Farm, the filly simply known as Love. It’s a length and a half to the race’s trailer, Illusionary State (Nakamura Stables).

(½ Mile- :45.70, Top of Stretch, 1.8F To Go)- Eaton and Soliloquy Sunset will continue to run together around the opening turn, and both seem to be in good stride still as they hit the top of the stretch. As Eaton was not glued to the rail around the turn, there was room for Absent Friends to take that path in the stretch while J R Velazquez would move Love to the outside, and both of these two looked like they might have something for the frontrunners. Illusionary State maintained her gap to the rest of the field but did not show signs of making a push.

(Finish- 1:09.19)- Soliloquy Sunset will get the upper hand early in the stretch, but once she took the lead she seemed to lose some juice to her own stride. Therefore, it did not take long for both Love and Absent Friends to be right there with her, and they would take the top two spots within the final furlong. Now, as we finished this race off, we had a two horse battle, getting everyone’s attention as to which of these would outlast the other. On this day, it would be Love, ultimately taking it by half a length on Absent Friends. Soliloquy Sunset labored to the end, but remained in the third spot, as Illusionary did not have a big close coming. A fatigued Eaton rounded it out.

About The Winner- Love, trained by Mo Mentum Farm and ridden to victory by J R Velazquez, is a four year old filly by Cheveley Park and is out of Baptisted By Fire. She was bred as a second quarter two year old in Ontario by Mo Mentum Farm, the only trainer f or which she has ever known. Congratulations to the connections! The win is her ninth in 25 starts, and her seventh stake win. Her career earnings are now $1,577.62.
