SEYMOURDINI (r, 2, Bernardini">Bernardini–Graeme Six {GSW & GISP, $338,854}, by Graeme Hall), a $900,000 OBS April purchase earlier this year, graduated with a dominant score Sunday afternoon at Aqueduct. The bay finished a narrowly beaten second behind subsequent GIII Nashua S. hero Mohaymen (Tapit) going six furlongs on debut at Belmont Sept. 19 and found himself in a similar position when runner-up behind Mo for the Money (Uncle Mo) over that same trip and track Oct. 28. Hammered down to 2-5 favoritism for this try at an extended distance, Seymourdini went straight to the front and coasted along on the lead through fractions of :23.53 and :47.49. Well in the clear turning for home, the ridgling had plenty left in reserve and reported home nine lengths clear of Seat of Honor (Tapit). The winner, who also RNA'd for $290,000 as an FTKOCT yearling, is a half to this term's GIII Monmouth Oaks winner Delightful Joy (Tapit), GSW, $179,200; and Cali Star (Street Cry {Ire}), SP, $154,940. Graeme Six is also responsible for an unnamed yearling colt by Unbridled's Song. Lifetime Record: 3-1-2-0, $66,000. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by Fasig-Tipton.
