QUEEN BAY (f, 2, Charlatan–Queen Medb {Ire} {SW, $147,062}, by Kodiac {GB}) wrapped up with a bow the second win for her freshman sire on Friday afternoon. Charlatan collected his inaugural score at Gulfstream Park May 2. Unveiled at 40 cents on the dollar here, the filly exited the gate cleanly, but appeared to take a misstep as a pair hooked up on the engine along the backstretch. The juvenile recovered easily and around the far turn began to turn up the heat to the outside of lone leader Glassheart (Beau Liam). Finding her best stride at the eighth pole, Queen Bay passed her foe, and motored home to don cap and gown by 2 1/4 lengths. The winner is her dam's first foal. Queen Medb does claim a colt by Jackie's Warrior who is a yearling and she foaled a filly by Forte Mar. 11. Under Queen Bay's third dam we find Irish & French Group 1 victor Alandi (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}). Sales History: $150,000 Wlg '23 KEENOV; $210,000 Ylg '24 KEESEP; $350,000 2yo '25 OBSMAR.
