+HEMP HEMP HURRAY (c, 2, Artie Schiller–Druidess, by Malibu Moon) made the early lead and never looked back en route to a promising debut score sprinting on the Belmont turf. Coming in with a sharp-looking local worktab, capped by a half-mile breeze on the main in :47 4/5 (7/36) July 2, the $40,000 KEENOV buy was backed late to 21-10 favoritism and broke well to lead clear through a tepid :23.04 quarter. Continuing unchallenged past a :46.71 half, the bay cut the corner smoothly, spurted away further by the three-sixteenths pole and was mildly urged to come home a comfortable four-length winner. Ambassador Jim (Treasure Beach {GB}) completed the exacta. The winner's second dam Lexa (Fr) (Sanglamore) was a MGSW in France and a GSW in the U.S. She is a half to G1SW Leariva (Irish River {Fr}) and G1SP Alesso (Alleged) out of MGSW/G1SP French highweight Leandra (Fr) (Luthier {Fr}). Druidess foaled a filly by Data Link last term. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $45,000. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by Fasig-Tipton.
