Don Alberto had to stretch to $950,000 to acquire YURAK (Tapit) as a yearling at Keeneland last September. Debuting Friday for John Sadler, the filly is exceptionally well-bred with no fewer than four black type earners as half-siblings led by GI Breeders' Cup Dirt Mile victor and Gainesway stallion Spun to Run (Hard Spun). First dam Yawkey Way, who sold for $600,000 to Gaineway/Whisper Hill Farm in 2020, has also produced SW/MGSP Informed Patriot (who topped the 2024 Fasig-Tipton July Horses of Racing Age Sale at $1.55m), SW Tap It All (Tapizar) and SP Extreme Force (Constitution).
Rabid Response (Maxfield), from her sire's first crop, is a half-sister to GSW/MGISP Spectator (Jimmy Creed), a mare who in turn has produced GI Santa Anita Derby winner Stronghold (Ghostzapper). A Nguyen/Tran homebred, she was purchased in utero by the pair for $175,000 at KEENOV in 2022. TJCIS PPS
