Started career with two unplaced runs before breaking through for first win at third attempt when leading the entire journey. Made it two in a row when lead throughout again when winning the owner restricted Smackdown III Two Year Old Fillies Stakes<\/U> over 7 furlongs. Sired by El Prado<\/B>, who has a knack in producing quality turf performers including two times Grade 1 winning two-year-old Pub Crawl<\/B>; from the Kingmambo<\/B> mare Icy Mambo<\/B> who two offspring to race are both Stakes winners at two. Winner of two from her last three starts on dirt and if can reproduce last start effort will be hard to beat.<\/P>

Four career starts have resulted in two wins and two seconds, won maiden at second attempt before running second in two-year-old allowance.

Home bred sired by Encosta De Lago<\/B> who produced Rattle My Chain<\/B> to win the Horsehead Juvenile – G1<\/U> as a two-year-old.
