Silk for My Hero V had a clean trip from the fourth post position and drew out to a one-and-one-quarter-length win with a time of :17.704 for the 350-yard trial.

"She had a perfect trip," jockey Ricky Ramirez said. "She heard a little noise in the gates and then the gates opened. She was gone."

The Trey Wood-trained daughter of first-crop sire One Valiant Hero was second in her only other start, which came at Remington Park. Valeriano Racing Stables LLC bred the filly in Oklahoma from the Panther Mountain mare Silk Mountain.

Horton Racing, LLC's homebred At Attention posted the second-fastest qualifying time in the 13th trial. The gelding went to the lead from the second post position and then held Bd Charles in Charge safe by one-half length with a :17.191 time. Agustin Silva was aboard At Attention.

A son of Tres Seis, At Attention made his only other start at Remington Park and finished second. He is out of the Valiant Hero mare Heroes Heart.
