TAAREEF (c, 2, Kitten's Joy–Sacred Feather {SP-US, $187,177}, by Carson City), a $675,000 KEESEP yearling who was professional when winning on debut over a mile at Bordeaux-le-Bouscat Sept. 22, was tardy from the gates and dropped to last exhibiting signs of greenness. Gradually worked into a prominent position out wide, the 7-10 pick knuckled down in the stretch and after gaining the lead approaching the furlong pole asserted under hand riding to ultimately score with real authority by three lengths from Nadino (Ger) (Wootton Bassett {GB}). The dam, whose clutch of talented half-siblings include the GSW Christine's Outlaw (Wild Again), has a yearling colt named Stormy Forecast (Stormy Atlantic), a colt foal by Point of Entry and is due to visit Bernardini next year. Lifetime Record: 2 starts, 2 wins, €25,000. Video, sponsored by Fasig-Tipton.
