A $500,000 grad from the Fasig-Tipton October Yearling sale, FOURTH DIMENSION (Not This Time) makes his first start for Wathnan and trainer Bill Mott.

Nice Guys homebred Let's Be Frank (Liam's Map) is out of a dam who is a full-sister to GI Kentucky Oaks champ Serengeti Empress (Alternation), while Phnom Penh (Medaglia d'Oro) is the second to the races for MGSW Cambodia (War Front). TJCIS PPS
