Grade 1 winner Dacita suffered a tough beat from a new stablemate when fellow Chad Brown trainee Rainha Da Bateria held on by a nose in the Grade 2 Canadian Stakes.

Formerly trained by Graham Motion for Three Chimneys, the 4-year-old Broken Vow filly moved to Brown this spring, made her first start Saturday for Lael Stables and won her first race since taking the JPMorgan Chase Jessamine Stakes in October of 2014, 12 starts ago. Last time out, she was third behind Dacita in a blanket finish in the Grade 1 Diana Stakes at Saratoga Race Course and missed the win by just a head.

“Last time they were only separated by a head, and today again they were a head apart, so they’re pretty much two fillies on the same level,” said jockey Julien Leparoux, who landed his first graded stakes score since injuring his wrist in a mishap at Saratoga in August. He returned to riding Sept. 8 and later in the Sept. 17 card won the Ricoh Woodbine Mile with champion Tepin.

The final time for the 1 1/8-mile race was 1:45.42. Faufiler completed the trifecta.

Rainha Da Bateria is a half sister to Grade 1 stakes-placed He’s Had Enough. She improved her record to 3 wins from 16 starts in the Canadian, a Breeders’ Cup “Win and You’re In” Challenge Series race for the Breeders’ Cup Filly and Mare Turf.
