Find Out Why Trained by three-time Debutante Stakes winner Kenny McPeek, V V’s Dream impressively rallied from six lengths off the early pace in her debut to defeat seven fillies by 6 ¼ lengths. The gray daughter of Mitole stopped the clock on :57.91 for five furlongs and earned a 93 Brisnet Speed Rating. McPeek previously won the Debutante with Behave Virginia (2021), Restless Rider (2018) and Sunny Skies (2017). V V’s dream will be ridden by Brian Hernandez Jr. from post No. 3.

Hibernacle will be ridden by Tyler Gaffalione from the rail. The Debutante Stakes began in 1895 and has produced seven Champion 2-year-old Fillies including last year’s winner Wonder Wheel.
