Conquest Harlanate, a $120,000 Keeneland September purchase, began her career with a third going five panels over the Woodbine synthetic July 12. The Conquest colorbearer graduated next out trying the turf here Aug. 3 and rallied to just get up in time to win the one-mile GII Natalma S. over the yearling turf, earning a 9 Thoro-Graph figure. The bay settled into a stalking position through the first turn and down the backstretch. She moved up to sit a little closer to the pace as the field neared the turn and split foes at the top of the lane to challenge Del Cielo. The Casse trainee soon gained the advantage, shook free late and finished comfortably ahead of Brooklynsway. “She’s doing really well and we’re really happy with how she has progressed,” said Kathryn Sullivan, assistant to winning trainer Mark Casse. “She’s a lovely filly, she’s smart and everything is going the way we want it to go right now.” 

Of Conquest Stable owners Ernie Semersky and Dory Newell, Sullivan explained, “[They] bring a lot of enthusiasm and they’ve worked so hard for the two years they’ve been in the game. They research, talk to people and have worked really hard to get this lucky.” 

Conquest Harlanate is the fifth Casse runner to win the Mazarine S., and third consecutive winner for that trainer who won in 2012 with Spring Venture (Spring at Last) and in 2013 with Madly Truly (Malibu Moon).
