+YELLOW AGATE (f, 2, Gemologist–Lemon Sorbet, by Lemon Drop Kid), dismissed at odds of 32-1 despite an above-average worktab and given the presence of 2-5 Amapola (Broken Vow), lingered in the second half of the field early on, improved her position on the turn, split horses inside the furlong marker and edged past the pacesetting chalk for a half-length success Sunday at Belmont Park. Yellow Agate is the second prominent maiden winner by this sire for the China Horse Club, who also campaign 'TDN Rising Star' Theory in partnership with WinStar Farm. A $70,000 Keeneland November weanling purchase, Yellow Agate fetched $210,000 at last year's Keeneland September Yearling Sale. She is out of a half-sister to French SW & MG1SP Without Connexion (Ire) (Rainbow Quest) and hails from the further female family of G1SW Scenic (Ire) (Sadler's Wells). Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $45,000. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by Fasig-Tipton.
