6th-GP, $50K, Msw, 2yo, 7 1/2fT, post time: 4:01 p.m. ET
DISCOVERED (Gemologist), a $37K buyback as a KEENOV weanling, fetched $60K at KEESEP the following fall. Bidding on behalf of John Oxley, Blandford Stud went to $250K to acquire the chestnut colt at this year's OBSMAR sale after he breezed a quarter-mile in :21 1/5. A half-brother to the promising sophomore Bronze Age (Mineshaft), Discovered is out of a graded-stakes placed half-sister to turf SW Return to Paradise (El Prado {Ire}). The cleverly named Irwin (Animal Kingdom) gets his career started here in the name of owner and trainer Eric Guillot. The half-brother to the useful SW & G1SP Traffic Guard (More Than Ready) was a $45K RNA at KEESEP last year, then fetched $100K from agent Nick Hines at OBSAPR after working a furlong in :10 2/5.
