Live Oak Plantation’s Mischief in Motion and Jacques Dupuis Jr., Luke Bourque and Bobby Sutton’s Soleil Volant gave fans two different looks at winning in Saturday’s turf features for 3-year-olds at Delaware Park.

In the $151,500 Christiana Stakes for fillies, Mischief in Motion went straight to the front under Angel Cruz and never looked back, coasting home 3 ½ lengths clear. The daughter of Into Mischief, trained by Michael Trombetta, set dawdling fractions of :51.35 and 1:16.65 before finishing the 1 1/8 miles over soft turf in 1:51.99. Don’t Jinx It finished second, a half-length ahead of Ambaya in third. So Darn Pretty and Starry Night were scratched.

The win was her third from eight starts, boosting her earnings to $166,600. She paid $12.40 to win.

Cruz credited lessons from his earlier turf win on the card for the wire-to-wire victory.

“Speed’s holding. She broke good, so I decided not to take anything away from her,” he said. “I slowed it down and she responded really well.”

Cruz’s earlier turf win, also in front-running fashion, came aboard La Liberta, who paid $147.80 to win.

Later in the afternoon, Soleil Volant stormed from off the pace to capture the $152,000 Kent Stakes, prevailing by a nose over Thundering after a tight stretch battle. Ridden by Samuel Marin for trainer H. Graham Motion, the son of Karakontie covered the 1 1/8 miles in 1:50.73 on soft turf. Versus was another 1 ½ lengths back in third, while 2-1 favorite Geometry settled for fourth.

Church and State, Maui Strong, and Dreambuilder were scratched.

“I had a clean trip and when I asked him toward the end of the race, he was there for me,” Marin said. “We had to fight, but I had a lot of horse in my hands, so I was confident.”

The victory improved Soleil Volant’s record to two wins from 12 starts and pushed his bankroll to $193,976.
