+HEARTSPOKE (f, 2, Arch–Garden District {GSW, $149,807}, by Dixie Union), from the connections of recent 'TDN Rising Star' Wellabled (Shackleford), took a field of maiden turf sprinting juvenile fillies wire-to-wire in the Thursday nightcap. Breaking sharply from the middle of a bulky field, the dark bay quickly put two lengths on favored firster Silly Factor (The Factor), clicking off a :22.83 quarter-mile. Challenged on the latter half of the bend by that foe, Heartspoke repelled the bid and opened clear once again by the eighth pole before holding off a stiff closing run from Godolphin firster Maluku (Street Cry {Ire}) to earn a 1 1/4-length tally. The winner's dam captured the 2008 GIII Debutante S. and is a half to GSW/MGISP Medal Count (Dynaformer), third in the 2014 GI Belmont S. She has a yearling filly by Animal Kingdom and foaled a Tiznow colt this term. Heartspoke breezed a furlong in :10 1/5 at OBS March (video) prior to selling. Sales History: $47,000 RNA Ylg '15 FTKOCT; $75,000 2yo '16 OBSMAR. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $13,200. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by Fasig-Tipton.
