MILA ROSE (f, 3, Vekoma–Lucky Lady Lawyer, by Lawyer Ron) was a 3 1/2-length winner in her first start at Turfway Park Mar. 6. Ready to prove that making the transition from the all-weather to the dirt would be no issue, the 7-5 favorite was shuffled towards the middle of the pack after the bell despite a promising start. The 3-year-old went on the hunt around the far turn and at the quarter pole Mila Rose kicked into high gear. Doing her best impression of a freight train, the filly thundered towards the wire and was able to keep her perfect record intact with a length victory over Wisconsin Gal (Army Mule). The winner's dam is responsible for a 2-year-old filly by Army Mule and she visited Mitole for this season. Lucky Lady Lawyer's half-sister is GSW Jump On It (Jump Start), who herself has produced a pair of stakes winners. Sales History: $50,000 Wlg '22 KEENOV; $130,000 2yo '24 OBSMAR.
