+ADMIRALTY PIER (g, 2, English Channel–Full Steam Ahead, by Kitten's Joy) made the lead, shook off pace pressure and cruised home to graduate on debut at Woodbine. Showing a mostly unassuming worktab, the chestnut was given an 11-1 chance and broke sharply from his inside draw. Pressured on the lead through splits of :24.85 and :49.10, he quickly shook loose passing the three-sixteenths pole and was in a race of his own from there, hitting the wire a 4 3/4-length victor. Follow My Lead (Country Day) was clearly second-best. The winner's dam is a full-sister to Italian GSW Steaming Kitten. Sales History: $100,000 Ylg '16 FTSAUG. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $28,932.
