The mare is a son of the undefeated Soho Lanikai, a son of Somewhere on the beach who has made an exceptional start in breeding with just eight starters to seven individual winners, including a six-figure earner.
Bred by Michael and Carol LeFevre, Glenview Lanikai is out of Motoring Rivers, a New York Motoring mare from the influential family of Swishinova, Barrington Lass and champion Beautide. She is rented out by Parker in collaboration with family and friends.
Despite being parked for much of the trip, Glenview Lanikai was dominant. When driver Liam Older asked her to approach the home turn, she quickly put the race beyond doubt, driving clear to gain nearly 45 feet at a 1:59.5 mile pace.
Parent was full of praise after the race, noting: “She did well, and she was already way overdue for a win.”
The meeting also featured the $40,000 Devonport Cup, won by Maebee and driven to victory by his trainer Conor Crook, who completed a winning treble. Mark Yole also had three winners, while Garth Rattray celebrated a special milestone – his 1,600th career win – as Family Reasons prevailed earlier in the evening.
