DADDY'S GREAT BAY (f, 3, Scat Daddy–Great Deep Bay, by Mr. Greeley) closed well to check in third behind recent Gulfstream allowance winner Sophia's Song (Bellamy Road) on debut in a 6 1/2-furlong tilt over the synthetic at Woodbine Nov. 14. The $115,000 KEESEP yearling acquisition shipped south to join her trainer's winter string in South Florida and posted two maintenance works at Palm Beach Downs ahead of this return to action. Given a 7-2 chance when the race was moved from to the main track due to heavy rain, the chestnut broke alertly and asserted herself as the pacesetter through a quarter-mile in :23.20. Turning back a brief bid from favored Caffeine (Medaglia d'Oro) turning for home, Daddy's Great Bay widened under moderate urging and posted a blowout 7 1/4-length score over first-timer La Canela (Congrats). The winner is a half-sister to Jamaican Smoke (Latent Heat), GISP, $183,970. Her second dam is a half-sister to MGISW Stop Traffic (Cure the Blues), herself the dam of GISW Cross Traffic (Unbridled's Song). This is also the same family that produced MGSW Gouldings Green (Charismatic). Lifetime Record: 2-1-0-1, $28,615. Click for the Equibase.com chart or VIDEO, sponsored by Fasig-Tipton.
