Stonestreet Stable's homebred Tara's Tango was backed down to odds-on early in the wagering, touched 7-5 on the drift and settled at 6-5 to open her account at first asking in a very strong-looking Del Mar maiden. Away alertly to press the pace, the half-sister to Visionaire (Grand Slam, GISW, $465,882) traveled in the two...
Besilu Stables' owner Ben Leon spent $10.1 million for two daughters of Delta Princess (A.P. Indy) on the second day of the 2011 Keeneland November sale. He gave a sales-topping $8.5 million for Royal Delta (Empire Maker, Ch. 3yo Filly, 2x Ch. Older Female, MGISW, $4,811,126) just four days removed from the first of her...
Let go at 7-2, Granny's Kitten kept tabs on the leaders from third through speedy early splits of :22.20 and :45.20. Running three-wide in the lane, the bay instantly powered clear of his rivals when given the cue by pilot Irad Ortiz Jr. and sailed home a 4 1/4-length winner. Reality (Super Saver) was the...
Treadway Racing Stable, which unleashed Sweet Reason (<a href="https://www.darleyamerica.com/stallions/our-stallions/street-sense " class="horse-link" target="_blank">Street Sense</a>) to win last year's GI Spinaway S., debuted another impressive juvenile filly Sunday at Belmont in Wonder Gal. The 4-5 favorite while facing five rivals, the dark bay filly trailed the field into the turn, but made a dramatic move along the rail to reach contention...
Cavorting ran to her odds as the even-money favorite in this field, which was scratched down to four by post time. Away quickest of all, the $360,000 KEENOV weanling purchase glided along the rail while clocking a speedy first quarter in :22.14 and a half in :45.82. Never pressured, the bay cruised clear in the...
Having already spent time in the spotlight courtesy of her stint at last year's Tattersalls' October Sale, where she was knocked down for a world record yearling filly price of 5,000,000gns, Al Naamah had sidestepped the potentially easier route of opening in a maiden and was pitted against a quartet of experienced foes and two...
Enchanting Lady was off a step slowly while chasing home Seduire in a runner-up effort as the 2-5 favorite in her 4 1/2-furlong debut May 22. Favored to get revenge on that foe here, the dark bay filly stumbled slightly coming out of the gate, but recovered to press Seduire through an opening quarter in...
Take Charge Brandi, sent off at 3-1, rushed up to take control early and pulled her way through an opening quarter in :22.73 before striding clear down the lane under a motionless Corey Lanerie to win by 2 1/2 lengths. Favored Conquest Archangel (<a href="https://claibornefarm.com/stallions/blame/ " class="horse-link" target="_blank">Blame</a>), off to a slow start in her debut, was five-wide into...
Bad Read Sanchez was knocked down for $130,000 as a Keeneland September yearling and, entered for that auction house's April Sale of 2-Year-Olds in Training, scarcely damaged his reputation when he breezed his eighth of a mile in a sparkling :9 4/5. But bidding stalled on the colt at $340,000 and he was originally a...
High Celebrity was well away from the gate to assert to the lead after the early exchanges of this unveiling. Maintaining control under a tight hold thereafter, the 9-10 favorite cruised clear inside the final quarter mile and was geared right down by Maxime Guyon in the closing stages to score by a hugely impressive...
Caval, the even-money favorite in this short field of four, pressed Haleys Rainbow (Songandaprayer) from the outside down the backstretch and moved up to bid entering the stretch. Despite problems switching leads and bearing in early in the stretch, the bay began to open up on that foe and, once straightened, extended her winning margin...
Fashion Alert, looking to become the first Todd Pletcher firster to take a stakes race since Sensational Slam (Grand Slam) won the 2010 Clarendon S. at Woodbine, was pushed along for speed by pilot John Velazquez from the outside gate. Putting a head in front three deep midway on the turn after a :22.37 opening...
