Sconsin heads hearty field in $100K Roxelana Overnight Stakes

June 16, 2021

LOUISVILLE, Ky.– Lloyd Madison Farm’s multiple graded stakes winning filly Sconsin headlines a field of six fillies and mares that were entered in Saturday’s $110,000 Roxelana Overnight Stakes at Churchill Downs.

The 6 ½-furlong Roxelana will go as Race 10 of 11 with a post time of 5:26 p.m. (all times Eastern). First post is 12:45 p.m.

Sconsin, a 4-year-old homebred daughter of Include, won the $150,000 Winning Colors (Grade III) four weeks ago beneath the Twin Spires. The Greg Foley-trainee finished second behind Gamine in the $500,000 Derby City Distaff (GI) on the undercard of the Kentucky Derby (GI). Overall, Sconsin sports a stout record of 12-4-3-1 with purse earnings of $546,512.

Current Churchill Downs leading rider Tyler Gaffalione has the return mount and will break from post No. 5.

Also entered in the Roxelana is Lothenbach Stables 2020 Derby City Distaff (GI) winner Bell’s the One. Trained by Neil Pessin, Bell’s the One is searching for her first victory in her 5-year-old campaign. She finished second behind Kimari in the $300,000 Madison (GI) in early April and fourth in this year’s Derby City Distaff.

Corey Lanerie has the mount from post 4.

Another accomplished mare that was entered in the Roxelana is WhithamThoroughbreds’ multiple Grade III winner Four Graces. Trained by Ian Wilkes, Four Graces recorded four victories through seven starts as a 3-year-old. The now 4-year-old daughter of Majesticperfection will make her seasonal debut from post 3 with Julien Leparoux in the saddle. Four Graces defeated Sconsin by 4 ¾ lengths in last year’s $100,000 Beaumont (GIII) at Keeneland.
