JOHANNES VERMEER (IRE) (c, 2, Galileo {Ire}–Inca Princess {Ire}, by Holy Roman Emperor {Ire}), a €300,000 GOFORB yearling, was third on debut over an extended seven-furlong trip at Tipperary July 11 and soon had the lead. Pushed clear with hands and heels from the top of the stretch, the 6-4 chalk was eased close home en route to a comfortable 4 1/4-length success from Dawenkour (Ire) (Tamayuz {GB}). Lifetime Record: 2-1-0-1, $11,363. Video, sponsored by Fasig-Tipton.
