+BEAUTIFUL SHOT (c, 2, Trappe Shot–Beauty for Ashes {SP}, by City Place) was far back early but uncorked a strong rally up the rail to nip heavily favored and confidently handled first-time starter Nero (Pioneerof the Nile) on the wire and capture his debut at Del Mar Sunday evening. Lagging well off the pace as Nero cut out an opening quarter-mile in :21.97, Beautiful Shot gathered steam on the turn, found a seam along the inside once straightened out for the drive and flew home to win by a nose. Beautiful Shot, a $105,000 OBS April juvenile purchase, is a half to Putyourdreamsaway (Put It Back), SW, $153,050. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $36,000.
