STAY FOND (f, 3, Stay Thirsty–Fondly, by Mr. Greeley) stalked the pace of a heavy favorite and took over in the stretch to graduate second out at Gulfstream. Third on debut Aug. 5 at Monmouth and unheard from since, the Repole Stable homebred was dismissed at 7-1 in this return and came away well to track the speed of 1-5 chalk Awestruck (Tapit) through dawdling splits of :25.38 and :49.94. Put to a drive near the three-eighths pole, Stay Fond overhauled the leader in midstretch and pulled clear in the final furlong to score by 1 3/4 lengths. The victress is the final foal out of her late dam, a half to SW/MGSP Silver Edition (Silver Deputy) out of GSW Sincerely (Meadowlake). Lifetime Record: 2-1-0-1, $26,400.
