Trainer Kiaran McLaughlin unveils a pair of well-bred homebreds for powerhouse outfits in the form of Holland Park (Tapit) and Moritz (Curlin). The former is out of 2006 GI Breeders' Cup Distaff heroine Round Pond (Awesome Again), who was acquired by Sheikh Mohammed for $5.75 million at Fasig-Tipton November the following year. Round Pond is already responsible for Long River (A.P. Indy), a multiple stakes winner and Grade I-placed runner in the states who annexed this year's G1 Al Maktoum Challenge Round 3. Stonestreet's Moritz is out of the winning $360,000 Fasig-Tipton Saratoga grad Marcellina d'Oro (Medaglia d'Oro). TJCIS PPs

McLaughlin and Godolphin will also be represented by a high-profile newcomer at Gulfstream as Sara Street (Street Sense) makes her first start off a string of recent works at Palm Meadows. The dark bay miss is out of Sara Louise (Malibu Moon), who bested Hall of Famer Rachel Alexandra (Medaglia d'Oro) in the 2008 GIII Pocahontas S. as a juvenile before reinventing herself as a solid MGSW sprinter while carrying Godolphin blue for Saeed bin Suroor at three and four. Stronach homebred Muchacha Uno (Macho Uno) is out of Ned Evans's Grade I winner Cat Moves (Tale of the Cat), who brought $2.4 million in foal to Malibu Moon at KEENOV '11 and $400,000 in foal to Candy Ride (Arg) there last month. This is the family of GI Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf hero Hootenanny (Quality Road). Show Girl (Distorted Humor), out of a stakes-winning juvenile, was a $100,000 KEESEP RNA who blossomed into a $300,000 OBS April grad after a :10 1/5 breeze. Town and Country homebred Treasure In Heaven (Street Sense) was third first out at Keeneland Oct. 21, and was flattered when the horse who finished immediately in front of her that day returned to don cap and gown by 13 3/4 lengths at Churchill. She's out of Grade III-winning 2-year-old Richwoman (Successful Appeal). TJCIS PPs
