Thursday's Insights: Half-Sister To Cody's Wish Has Gulfstream 'Dance Card' Filled Out

6th-GP, $84K, Msw, 4yo/up, f&m, 1m, 2:49 p.m. ET.
In early June last summer, SPIRIT OF HOPE (Street Sense) worked toward her first start for trainer Bill Mott at Saratoga. The filly was tabbed as a 'main track only' entrant for a maiden special weight, but was unable to draw into the race. Given some more time through the fall, the Godolphin homebred is ready for her unveiling here. Out of highly productive mare Dance Card (Tapit), the first-time starter's half-siblings include Horse of the Year & current sire Cody's Wish (Curlin), MGSW Endorsed (Medaglia d'Oro) and the dam of 'TDN Rising Star, presented by Hagyard', East Avenue (Medaglia d'Oro).
