MADONE (f, 2, Vancouver {Aus}–Indian Love Call, by Cherokee Run), off at odds of 5-1 in her debut, settled into a comfortable spot, idling near the back through the first quarter in :22.47. She edged up on the rail, swept to the outside on the final turn, and continued to inch toward the front, a bit belatedly changing leads, but assuredly in command. She crossed the wire one length to the best of fellow firster and post-time favorite Ivy League (Medaglia d’OroBWith Honors). Indian Love Call has a yearling filly by Astern (Aus) and had a colt this year by Cairo Prince. She was bred back to Gormley. She hails from the immediate family of GISWs Gold Fever (Forty Niner) and Boisterous(Distorted Humor). This is third winner for Vancouver (Aus) (Medaglia d’Oro).
