+SAMHARRY (GB) (c, 2, Exceed and Excel {Aus}–Ballymore Celebre {Ire}, by Peintre Celebre), a 600,000gns TATOCT yearling, broke well to race a touch freely on the outer before being found cover by Paul Hanagan. Rolling to the front with 1 1/2 furlongs remaining, the 11-4 second favourite soon had the race in safe keeping and was pushed out to secure a comfortable 1 1/2-length success from Total Star (GB) (Pivotal {GB}). The winner is a half-brother to the owner's G2 July S. winner Anjaal (GB) (Bahamian Bounty {GB}), GSW-Eng, $141,292, with his dam being a half to the sire Nysaean (Ire) whose most notable feat on the track came when third in the G1 Tattersalls Gold Cup. She has a yearling full-sister to Anjaal and a filly foal by Lope de Vega (Ire) to come. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $5,981. Video, sponsored by Fasig-Tipton.
