PLEASE BE NICE (c, 3, Violence–Oenophile, by Pulpit), an RNA as a yearling for $45,000, he sold for $210,000 EASMAY before starting his training regime over the summer at Saratoga. Going off at odds of 3-1, the chestnut colt broke alertly and dueled for the lead up front as the field went down the backstretch with a time of :22.77 after a quarter-mile. Please Be Nice rode the rail at a controlling :47.24 for the half, and at the top of the lane proceeded to run off the page, getting clear of the next competitor, 10-1 Disarmed (Maclean's Music), by an eye-catching 10 1/4 lengths. Part of a family that includes second dam GSW Win McCool (Candy Ride {Arg}); GSP Cool Beans (Candy Ride {Arg}; and 'TDN Rising Star' G1SW Magnum Moon (Malibu Moon), the winner's dam has a 2-year-old filly by Practical Joke and foaled a yearling colt by Hard Spun.
