VINTON, LA—MAY 28, 2016—Ridden by jockey David Alvarez, The Golden Bowl was best late to defeat Jb First Rose by half-a-length in the Grade 3 $40,000 Develop A Plan Stakes Saturday night at Delta Downs. Post time favorite Scoopies Leaving You finished another half-length back in the show position.

Saddled by trainer Martin Trejo, The Golden Bowl stepped up from a second place effort in an option-clamming race April 27th to complete the 350 yards in :17.606 seconds.

Third in the Old South Derby at Delta Downs last summer, The Golden Bowl races for owner Rogelio Marquez, Jr. Jorge Meraz bred the 4-year-old in Texas from the Dashin Bye mare First Dashin Bye.

Also coming out of an optional-claiming race earlier this month, Jb First Rose earned $5,000 for his second place effort.
