Phoenix Thoroughbreds' CONFESSING (Scat Daddy), who topped last year's OBS March sale at $875,000 after working a furlong in :9 4/5, was a well-beaten fifth over a sloppy Churchill surface in her 1 1/16-mile off-turf debut June 8. The half-sister to graded stakes winner Sharp Sensation (Sharp Humor), who tries the turf in this second start for trainer Steve Asmussen, had originally been targeted for a European campaign with trainer Ed Vaughan.
“She was in Europe training, but wasn't showing the zip that we thought she should,” explained Phoenix's Tom Ludt. “We gave her a little time and thought the quicker early pace and Lasix would help her, so we gave her to Steve. She is going well and we hope to get her maiden win Friday.” TJCIS PPs
