STILLWATER COVE (f, 2, Quality Road&log=">Quality Road–Celibataire, by Broken Vow) broke quickest from the gate as the heavy 1/5 favorite and sprinted off to a five-length advantage through an opening quarter in :22.17. She still had a four-length cushion passing the eighth pole, but had to hold off a late-charging and very green Giro Kate (Girolamo) in the final strides to score by a nose. Stillwater Cove's fourth dam was undefeated champion Personal Ensign (Private Account) and she hails from the family of MGISWs My Flag (Easy Goer) and Storm Flag Flying (Storm Cat) as well as MGSW Divine Oath (Broken Vow). She is the first foal out of maiden Celibataire, who is a full-sister to MGSW Interactif. She has recently produced a yearling filly by War Front and visited Union Rags last season.
