Scouted by BSW Bloodstock out of a listed Stake at Laurel Park in December, Ivy Bell was privately purchased for loyal owners Bill and Terry Mathis (Mathis Stables) and Sol Kumin (Madaket Stables).

In her final prep breeze, trainer Todd Pletcher paired Ivy Bell with G2 Rebel winner MAGNUM MOON to go a bullet 5/8 in 1:00.3. Click here to view the work. 

Off to a slow start in the Inside Information, she overcame a troubled trip in impressive fashion and showed her explosive turn of foot to kick clear of the field late in the stretch. Pletcher reports that the mare has come out of the race in great form and will look to the G1 Humana Distaff on Kentucky Derby Day for her next possible start.
