Credit’ Looks to Make the Grade

Klaravich Stables and William H. Lawrence’s Consumer Credit (More Than Ready) seeks her third-straight victory as she makes her graded stakes debut in Gulfstream’s GIII Sweetest Chant S. Saturday. The Chad Brown pupil earned her diploma going six panels over yielding Belmont sod third out Oct. 25, and added Gulfstream Park West’s Wait a While S. by open lengths Nov. 29. Nicky’s Brown Miss (Big Brown) was third in that heat, while Red Sashay (Big Brown) was fifth. Nicky’s Brown Miss was second in this venue’s Ginger Brew S. Jan. 3, while Red Sashay took the Our Dear Page S. over this course and distance in October. Vicki and William Poston’s Ol’ Fashion Gal (Sky Mesa) already boasts a graded stakes win, having upended Del Mar’s GIII Jimmy Durante S. by a neck at 21-1 odds Nov. 29. The Mark Casse trainee was coming off a maiden breaker over that same one mile of turf 16 days prior. Miss Temple City (Temple City) scored on debut for trainer Graham Motion, Allen Rosenblum and The Club Racing LLC going 5 1/2 furlongs on the Laurel turf Oct. 10, and kept her record unblemished with a three-length optional claiming win over an extra sixteenth here Dec. 17. Kevin Plank’s Sagamore Farm has purchased an interest in the dark bay since her last start. Quality Rocks (Rock Hard Ten), winner of the Arlington-Washington Lassie S. in September for breeder Destiny Oaks of Ocala and conditioner William Helmbrecht, was second in Keeneland’s GIII Jessamine S. Oct. 8 after being bought into by Wachtel and Brous Stable and turned over to Bill Mott.
