Dance Away Capote displayed no aftereffects of the illness that kept her out of the Kentucky Oaks when she cruised to a 5 1/2-length victory against five outmatched rivals in the $100,000 at Delaware Park.
Racing over a "good" track that had been sealed, Dance Away Capote ($2.80) sat patiently in fourth until jockey Ramon Dominguez asked her to move closer on the backstretch. She responded with a rush to take the lead from Last Toots leaving the far turn and was hand-ridden to the wire.
Gotta Rush, a 14-1 shot, overtook Last Toots in deep stretch for second.
