+FIRST WALTZ (f, 3, Medaglia d’Oro–Spring Waltz {GSW, $402,335}, by Silver Charm), a daughter of GII Rampart H. heroine Spring Waltz, was 5-1 in this unveiling and sported first-time blinkers. The Adena Springs homebred tugged her way up to sit second on the leader’s right flank through a :22.56 quarter and a :45.85 half-mile. In front by upper stretch as the pacesetter tired, the bay was kept to task with some powerful left-handers from hoop Jesus Rios to win easily, drawing off by 5 1/2 lengths in the end. Street Smoke (Street Boss) ran second. First Waltz’s second dam is GII Molly Pitcher Breeders’ Cup H. heroine Relaxing Rhythm (Easy Goer), herself a half-sister to MGSW Holy Mountain (Devil’s Bag).
