The chestnut rallied from seventh at the head of the stretch while covering six furlongs on the Lakeside Turf Course in 1:08.49.

Sky Cape becomes first winner for Grade 3 winner Najran
First-time starter Sky Cape dug in gamely in the stretch at Hollywood
Park on Sunday to prevail by a head in a 41⁄2-furlong maiden
special weight race, becoming the first career winner for multiple
Grade 3 winner Najran.
Sent off at odds of 71.80-to-1, Sky Cape stalked the pace into the
stretch and held off a late bid from runner-up Booted while completing
the distance in :51.99 on a track rated fast for owner Blue
& Visionary Racing and trainer-breeder Kristin Mulhall. A half
brother to two stakes-placed winners, Sky Cape is out of the unraced
Marquetry mare Skyscape.
Najran, an eight-year-old by Runaway Groom out of the Capote
mare Line Command, stands at Hopewell Farm in Midway, Kentucky, for $7,500. He has 70 two-year-olds in his first crop.
Najran won seven of 15 career starts during a three-year racing
career for owner Buckram Oak Farm. He won the 2003 Phoenix
Breeders’ Cup Stakes (G3) and Westchester Handicap (G3), in
which he established the track record of 1:32.24 for one mile at
Belmont Park
