BASHA (c, 2, Uncle Mo–Lemonette {SP-Ger & MGSP-US, $217,852}, by Lemon Drop Kid) overcame traffic issues and flew home in the final furlong to get up at Gulfstream Park West and start his career two-for-two. A dominant victor first out Sept. 11 at Gulfstream, the $230,000 OBS March buy was crushed down to 1-10 in this spot and stalked from fifth early on before getting shuffled back to last after a quarter in :22.64. Moving through an inside seam on the top half of the turn, the dark bay floated five wide by the top of the stretch and closed relentlessly to reel in frontrunner Red Crescent (Overdriven) and score going away by 1 1/2 lengths. The winner's dam is responsible for a yearling filly by Candy Ride (Arg) named String Section and foaled a Street Sense filly this term before being bred back to Carpe Diem.
