Our Year

Our Year was dusted in her career opener at Gulfstream Park Apr. 2, but came back 22 days later to break her maiden by 3 3/4 lengths in special weight company at that track. Off at 4-1 to make it two in a row, she was hustled up from between horses to gain the lead...

Shumoos

Shumoos carried a smart home reputation into this competitive maiden, but her trainer's newcomers almost always benefit from their first outing and the market focus was firmly on the Tabor-Hannon newcomer and 10-11 pick Pink Sapphire (Ire) (Danehill Dancer {Ire}). Attracting some support into 17-2, the chestnut was keen in the early stages but was...

Maybe (Ire)

Maybe, who was a €340,000 ARQAUG yearling, was allowed to lengthen to 8-1 from a morning price of 11-4, but belied that drift by breaking professionally and assuming front-running duties. Turning the screw passing halfway, the bay received a couple of slaps with the whip and kept up a relentless gallop to beat Princess Sinead...

Power (GB)

The subject of strong support from 13-2 into 3-1 second favoritism in this maiden won by the stable's subsequent dual Group 1-winning 2-year-old Mastercraftsman (Ire) (Danehill Dancer {Ire}) three years ago, Power began well and disputed the early lead against the rail. Niggled at by halfway, the bay was running greenly when given a couple...

Tiz Terrific

Tiz Terrific, a first-up second at Keeneland last time Apr. 9, broke sharply and soon enjoyed a clear lead in this European bow. Coaxed along after halfway, the 2-1 second choice maintained daylight under whipless urging in the closing stages to easily dispose of Pearl of Grace (Fr) (Tiger Hill {Ire}) by 2 1/2 lengths....

World Domination

Just an hour after <a href="https://bit.ly/2KNga16 " class="horse-link" target="_blank">Frankel</a> (GB) (Galileo {Ire}) carried on his flagship duties for the longstanding Juddmonte/Cecil connection, World Domination arrived on the scene in this 11-furlong maiden to put substance to a mountain of hype. Talked about for some of last year and much of the winter and spring, the unambiguously named homebred was...

Ripples n' Waves

Ripples N' Waves reported home a well-beaten fifth going six furlongs in his Gulfstream bow Mar. 12. Stretching out to a mile here for a barn which hits at 39 percent second time out, the 5-1 chance raced under a tight hold while stalking in second through a half mile in :47.26. The flashy chestnut...

Arienza

Arienza ran to her blue blood at first asking, scoring by 2 1/2 lengths sprinting over this track Mar. 6. She was 1-2 for her much-anticipated return and initial route attempt. The $800,000 KEESEP yearling bounded to the lead and made all the running with little pressure from her closest foe through splits of :23.72...

Maclean's Music

Maclean's Music was bet down to 7-5 in his first start, and more than lived up to his odds. A Stonestreet Stables homebred, he was bought back for $900,000 as a KEESEP yearling, a move that might have raised eyebrows at the time, but proved prescient here. The bay had signalled his ability during his...

Hoorayforhollywood

Sent off the lukewarm 2-1 favorite in his career opener, homebred Hoorayforhollywood tracked Cherryzapper (Ghostzapper) through an opening quarter in :21.48. He ranged alongside as they dashed through a half in :44.25, then engaged Meadow Road (Dixie Union), who had snuck through along the rail. Hoorayforhollywood had no trouble dispatching with that rival, and pulled...

Alternation

Alternation broke his maiden second out by seven lengths in his first route attempt at Remington Dec. 9, and returned to take an allowance by a head over GIII Southwest S. third-place finisher Elite Alex (Afleet Alex) in Hot Springs Jan. 15. The 8-5 choice bided his time after breaking last, well out of it...

Bind

Bind was offered as a yearling at Keeneland September in 2009, but the bidding stalled at $180,000, and he went home to Claiborne. The dark bay had compiled an eye-catching worktab, and went postward as the even-money chalk. After breaking cleanly, the three-year-old was allowed to settle into stride by rider Rosie Napravnik, and raced...
