Instilled Regard Filly Studio Hall 'Passes' Debut Exam at Indy

6th-Horseshoe Indianapolis, $32,000, Msw, 6-25, 2yo, f, 5f, :59.15, ft, 5 lengths.
STUDIO HALL (f, 2, Instilled Regard–Beyond Ambition, by Tapit) became the third winner from four starters for her freshman sire (by Arch) with an open-lengths debut success. Pounded into 7-10 favoritism, the homebred was nudged along to take up a forward position and was three wide and close up entering the turn. In front under a hold as they passed the quarter pole, Studio Hall was thrown over onto her correct lead by Evin Roman just outside the eighth pole and scampered clear under a hand ride. Larry Best paid $1.1 million for Beyond Ambition–whose Grade II-placed dam Arienza (Giant's Causeway) was a daughter of Horse of the Year Azeri (Jade Hunter)–at the 2017 Keeneland September Sale. Arienza's half-sister Wine Princess (Ghostzapper) is the dam of Grade III turf scorer Smokin' T (War Front). Beyond Ambition is also the dam of a colt foal by former Best runner Rowayton (Into Mischief). Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $19,200. Click for the Equibase.com chart.
