Ridden by Flavien Prat, the California-bred filly by Shah’s 2014 Breeders’ Cup Classic (G1)-winner Bayern got six furlongs in 1:10.33.

With Square Peggy rushing up on her outside, Bella Vita shifted out and in an eye-catching move, collared her approaching the quarter pole and drew off to win in-hand with her ears pricked. “One thing about this filly, she’s very tractable,” Callaghan said. “[Prat] said she’s very push button. You can put her wherever you want, and I think when you have that tactical speed but you relax, it’s nice for the jockeys so they can put her wherever she wants.” Bella Vita/BENOIT PHOTO A close second in the six furlong Evening Jewel Stakes May second start on Feb. 16, 2020, Bella Vita, who is out of the Storm 16, Bella Vita was pounded down to 1-5 and paid $2.60.
