GRD Two Racing's Karen's Silk drove past Aye a Song and Lost Raven down the stretch to win the $75,000 The Marshua by 1 1/4 lengths.

A daughter of High Cotton who broke her maiden at Delaware in October, Karen's Silk covered a good six furlong main track in 1:12.53 for trainer Michael Dilger.

Aye a Song, coming off two consecutive stakes victories at Charles Town, broke on top in the five-horse field and was pressed by 1-2 favorite Lost Raven from the inside past an opening quarter in :23.15 and a half in :47.11. Karen's Silk, fourth down the backstretch, was moved three-wide around the turn by jockey Jevian Toledo before taking the lead above the final sixteenth.

"She broke good and I was in a great spot all the way," Toledo said. "When I asked her, she gave me everything she had."

Karen's Silk returned $8.
