+MANIFEST DESTINY (c, 2, City Zip–Jb's Golden Regret {SW}, by Banker's Gold), let go at 10-1 for an outfit that hadn't won with a juvenile firster since 2012, broke on top and showed the way, avoiding an incident in behind that saw one runner lose his rider. Pestered by a well-backed fellow firster through a half in :45.64, the chestnut shook free in upper stretch and sauntered home 8 3/4 lengths clear. Follow the Signs (Colonel John) ran on to complete the exacta. Co-favored newcomer Ethan Hunt (Mission Impazible) was DQ'd from third to last for causing the aforementioned incident. The winner, a full to Gypsum Johnny, MSP, $274,272, is out of a half-sister to Saratoga Grade II-placed juvenile Bail Out the Cat (Tale of the Cat). His dam produced a Boys At Tosconova colt last year and filly by the same stallion this season. It was a productive day for juveniles by Lane's End's City Zip–he was also responsible for a record $800,000 colt at OBS June.
