In the Handicap Revista Palermo, the daughter of Qué Vida Buena Prevailed by Half a Length
LA PLATA.- Honoring her solid credentials while shouldering the forgiving top weight of 59 kilos, Maylena returned to action after a three-month layoff with an impressive victory in the Handicap Revista Palermo (1100 m, fast dirt), the feature event on Tuesday's card at this track.
In what marked her fourth upper-level triumph (boasting remarkable efficiency), the daughter of Qué Vida Buenadefeated Verdadera Pass (Distinctiv Passion, 55) by half a length—a margin that could have been wider had the winner not encountered traffic trouble along the turn, where she was unable to filter through on the inside and had to swing out to the six-path to launch her stretch drive.
Once she found her stride, the Stud Levalle mare proved unstoppable, collaring Verdadera Pass in the final furlong and asserting control to post a final time of 1m05s33/100. Two lengths back, Filha (Nashville Texan, 57) rounded out the trifecta.
Conditioned by Néstor Bustos and bred by Enrique Mascotena and Oscar Mateu, Maylena notched her eighth career victory in 15 starts, boosting her earnings to nearly 47,000,000 pesos and looking primed to tackle open stakes company, joining her stablemate and paternal half-sister Qué Buena B, who has been making her mark at that level for some time.
