NEW MAGIC (c, 3, Curlin–Magic Dance {SW & GSP, $191,083}, by More Than Ready), sluggish from the gate as the 5-2 second choice, quickly found himself far out of it into the first turn as the far more experienced race favorite Bridoza (Khozan) dueled on the front with Atrocious (Ghostzapper) through the quarter in :23.63. Making an early move to catch up with the field through a slowed-down half, the Three Chimneys homebred then had to shift out wide to keep coming and was up into contention by the time the leaders swung for home. In a four-wide calvary charge to the line, New Magic finished up best to deny Bridoza by a length. Magic Dance, herself a half to MGISW and $4.4m FTKNOV broodmare buy Guarana (Ghostzapper), has since produced back to back fillies by Gun Runner in 2024 and 2025 respectively. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $31,500. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by FanDuel TV.
