Into Mischief Filly Love Cervere Powers Home in Take The A Train

Ed Seltzer, Beverly Anderson and Reeves Thoroughbred Racing's LOVE CERVERE (f, 3, Into Mischief–Panther Strike, by Black Minnaloushe) had several rivals to pass entering the final furlong of Saturday's inaugural Take The A Train Stakes at Aqueduct, but took flight and motored home down the center of the track to become the 174th stakes winner for her all-conquering sire while giving trainer Christophe Clement and jockey Joel Rosario a sweep of the afternoon's black-type contests on the grass. A latest fifth as the favorite in the Sanibal Island Stakes at Gulfstream Park Mar. 29, Love Cervere broke a bit inward, but was void of early speed and settled near the tail of the field behind just a moderate early pace. Shuffled back to last on the turn, the bay filly came widest for the drive and leveled off beautifully in the final eighth of a mile to just touch off the rail-rallying Hey Bertie (Kantharos). Lifetime Record: 3-1-1-0. O-Ed Seltzer, Beverly Anderson & Reeves Thoroughbred Racing; B-Ed & Beverly Seltzer (KY); T-Christophe Clement.
