Insights on the American Racing Scene for June 25

4th-SA, $56K, Msw, 2yo, 5f, 6:00 p.m. EDT Kaleem Shah's KLIMT (Quality Road) is among those set to line up in this strong-looking maiden affair. The $140,000 Fasig-Tipton July yearling blossomed into a $435,000 OBSMAR juvenile after a :20 4/5 quarter-mile breeze. The Bob Baffert trainee's dam was a debut winner at two and MSP routing. W C Racing, Zayat Stables and Doug O'Neill team up with $450,000 KEESEP yearling Dangerfield (Into Mischief). W C Racing and O'Neill campaigned Into Mischief's best runner to date, two-time GI Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile winner Goldencents. Rockingham Ranch went to $225,000 at Barretts March to secure Chasing Aces (Flatter), a $40,000 KEENOV weanling and $65,000 KEESEP yearling who breezed in :20 4/5. The chestnut is a half to a pair of stakes performers overseas, and his stakes-winning second dam was a debut-winning juvenile. Chasing Aces has several workouts at the San Luis Rey Training Center that match up with 2-year-old filly Chalon (Dialed In), who won well first out for these same connections on Thursday. Freshman sire Maclean's Music has already had a pair of flashy first-up winners, and Hall of Famer Jerry Hollendorfer will saddle a son of the 'TDN Rising Star' here in Silver Assault. The $52,000 KEESEP yearling is a half to GSP Holy Candy (Candy Ride {Arg}), and a grandson of GISW Lunar Spook (Silver Ghost). This is the extended female family of last year's champion 2-year-old colt in Canada Riker (Include), GISP juvenile Lunarwarfare (War Pass) and GSW Cashel Castle (Silver Ghost). Law Abidin Citizen (Twirling Candy), who cost $100,000 at Keeneland September, is out of GSP Honest Answer (Tale of the Cat), herself a $600,000 Barretts juvenile. Honest Answer is also responsible for GSP Sweet Swingin (Street Sense), and is a half to Canadian champion 2-year-old colt Truth of It All (Proud Truth), MGISW I Ain't Bluffing (Pine Bluff)–the dam of GSW and GISP Acting Happy (Empire Maker)–and the dam of MGISW Borrego (El Prado {Ire}).
