<\/SPAN>The race is named in honor of Dance Rear, a 9YO, stakes placed winner of eight.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She is by Muhtafal and has only one foal to race and it is a

<\/SPAN>She is no stranger to the stakes having competed at the graded level although she was less than spectacular in her attempts.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She has been knocking on the door recently at longer finishing second in the mile Apple Sheryl and the nine furlong Spanish Fly where she led until deep stretch.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>She

galloped along, with little effort to finish 11<SUP>th<\/SUP> out of 14.<SPAN style=\"mso-spacerun: yes\">\u00a0 <\/SPAN>If one throws out that race, she is right on track to do well on
