Beau Recall (IRE)

Beau Recall, owned by Slam Dunk Racing or Medallion Racing, won her second career start in Ireland before moving to the Southern California circuit. The Sir Prancealot filly won her first U.S. start in an allowance race on the turf at Santa Anita Park in January 2017 and then competed exclusively in stakes races for her next nine starts through spring 2018. During that stretch, she finished second four times, including by a nose to Dream Dancing in the Grade 1 Del Mar Oaks.

On April 7, 2018, Beau Recall broke through with her first stakes win in the Grade 2 Royal Heroine Stakes at Santa Anita, rallying fast through the stretch to score by three-quarters of a length. She was unplaced in her next six races, a stretch that included two Grade 1s and two Grade 2s, before Beau Recall was transferred to Brad Cox. She won her first start for Cox in the Blushing K D Stakes on Dec. 22 at Fair Grounds in her final start of 2018.

Beau Recall finished second by three-quarters of a length in the Albert M. Stall Memorial Stakes in her first start as a 5-year-old on Feb. 16, 2019, at Fair Grounds. She followed with a fast-closing half-length win in the New Orleans Ladies Stakes  in March. Cox then shipped Beau recall to Churchill Downs for the Grade 2 Longines Churchill Distaff Turf Mile Stakes  and she rallied boldly to prevail on the 2019 Kentucky Derby undercard.

Beau Recall shipped east to Belmont Park and finished second in the Grade 1 Just a Game Stakes on June 8. She returned to Southern California Aug. 3 for the Grade 2 Yellow Ribbon Handicap at Del Mar, where she held off Storm the Hill and third-place finisher Vasilika to prevail in a thrilling finish. Iin her final prep for the Breeders' Cup Filly and Mare Turf, Beau Recall closed to finish second in the Grade 1 Rodeo Drive Stakes Sept. 28 at Santa Anita.

Beau Recall ended up not racing in the World Championships, and returned for her 6-year-old campaign in May 2020 with a ninth-place finish in the Grade 3 Mint Julep Stakes at Churchill Downs. She had a troubled start in that race and improved in her next start when second to Newspaperofrecord in the Grade 1 Just a Game Stakes at Belmont Park.

After a puzzling fifth-place finish in the Grade 2 Yellow Ribbon Handicap at Del Mar as the 6-5 favorite, Beau Recall regained her top form on Sept. 5 back at Churchill, where she rallied past Newspaperofrecord in the stretch to score a repeat win in the Grade 2 Longines Churchill Distaff Turf Mile Stakes.
