A $50,000 Keeneland September yearling purchase, the Florida-bred Sheiks of Sheiks was hammered down to these connections for $330,000 at this year’s Fasig-Tipton Midlantic Sale after breezing an eighth of a mile in a slick :10 flat. The athletic bay belied debut odds of 6-1 to take his Aug. 22 debut at Saratoga by 1 3/4 front-running lengths, but he was found out some when sixth after setting a blistering early pace in this track’s GI Claiborne Breeders’ Futurity S. Oct. 3. sat a stalking trip outside stablemate Moment Is Right (Medaglia d’Oro), wrested command from that one a furlong from home and held off a late bid up the fence from the well-backed Noholdingback Bear to take the Juvenile Dirt Sprint.
