In an impressive career debut, Danny Eplin’s Dreamfyre made short work of her rivals in winning the $75,000 Everett Nevin Stakes at Pleasanton July 9, to become the first stakes winner and fourth overall winner for first crop sire Flameaway .
Trained by O.J. Jauregui, Dreamfyre took command of the 5 1/2-furlong event at the break and set quick fractions throughout en route to a 3 1/2-length victory under jockey Francisco Duran. She stopped the timer in 1:04.51 for 5 1/2 furlongs on a fast main track.
Bred in Kentucky by John Oxley, Dreamfyre was acquired by Eplin at this year’s Ocala Breeders’ Sale Spring Sale of Two-Year-Olds in Training for $140,000. The filly breezed a snappy :9 4/5 at the sale’s under tack show.
Dreamfyre is produced from the graded stakes-placed Sky Mesa mare Appreciating and is a half sister to grade 1-placed Nasreddine.
Multiple graded stakes winner Flameaway, currently ranked No. 3 on the first crop sire list, boasts four winners so far this year. The son of Scat Daddy’s first 2-year-olds at auction have lit up the board this year and they include a filly that sold to Justin Casse, agent, for $370,000, the highest-priced horse by a freshman sire at the Ocala Breeders’ Sales June Sale of 2-Year-Olds and Horses of Racing Age and the highest-priced filly of the sale overall.
Flameaway stands at Darby Dan Farm in Kentucky for a fee of $7,500.
