The Three Chimneys’-bred filly Mundaye Call set a seven-furlong track record in her 7 ¼-length victory in the $100,000 Audubon Oaks Sunday at Ellis Park.

Mundaye Call was making her first stakes start since running as a maiden in last year’s Spinaway S. (G1). She wasted no time getting to the lead, carving out fractions of :22.25 and :45.11 while maintaining a one-length lead. She pulled away from the field at the top of the stretch and despite being completely geared down late she finished the seven furlongs in record time of 1:21.17, lowering the 2004 mark of 1:21.37,  and earned a career-best Beyer Speed Figure of 100.

“She’s fast. She showed that today, breaking the track record. She’s never been around two turns and she’s still lightly raced. We’re very pleased with what she was able to accomplishment today,” said trainer Brad Cox.

Cox added he would talk with Larry Best, principal of OXO Equine, to determine if they would move on to the Sept. 4 Kentucky Oaks (G1).

Mundaye Call has won three of her five starts and earned $159,360. She was bred in Kentucky is out of the unraced Warrior’s Reward mare Reve d’Amour, who is a half-sister to Can the Man. Mundaye Call sold to her owner for $950,000 from the Denali Stud consignment at the 2018 Fasig-Tipton Select Saratoga Yearlings sale.
