MISLEADING (f, 3, Not This Time–Heart of Paradise {GSP}, by More Than Ready) executed a perfectly-timed rush to graduate in-style. A 10-1 shot here, the Keeneland September grad was in no hurry when it came to exiting the gate. Biding her time at the back of the field, the filly seemed out of it by the far turn, but the 3-year-old was gearing up for a late push. Misleading tipped towards the center of the course at the top of the lane and uncorked a furious rally. With one big gulp and some impeccably-crafted late heroics, the John Shirreffs trainee was up in time to walk the stage. Longshot Prestige Fungson (Always Dreaming) was the runner-up. The half to GISP Gate to Paradise (Arrogate) has a year-younger sister by Maclean's Music. GSP Heart of Paradise was bred to Gun Runner for this season.
