Ruthenia was let go at 20-1 for this first go despite being a full-sister to Rutherienne, GISW, $1,298,671, and ran more to her pedigree than her odds on the tote. The Payson homebred took up a nice stalking spot on the rail in third behind fractions of :24.55, :49.86 and 1:14.06, split horses coming into...
Dancinginherdreams was well-hyped before her debut and was sent off the 3-2 favorite yesterday. Unhurried out of the gate, the gray filly trailed the field of 12 early behind fractions of :22.38, :46.06 and :58.33. She made a strong move to reach contention turning for home, was widest of all into the lane and inhaled...
Fort Hughes, let go at 7-1 in this unveiling, broke from the rail and exchanged bumps with Rift (Not For Love) in the initial strides. Straightened out, the handsome chestnut assumed control and led the field through fractions of :22.34 and :45.24. He opened up without being asked down the lane and strode home a...
Hot on the heels of the introduction of the exciting Maxios (GB) (Monsun {Ger}), Galikova added more spice to this card with a smooth debut in the mold of her brilliant half-sibling. Sent off the 9-5 joint favorite, the blaze-faced bay was keen early positioned close to soft fractions in second. Making smooth progress in...
Sent off the 17-5 second favorite, Maxios traveled sweetly settled five lengths in third off the pace set by Soviet Blue (Fr) (Cacique {Ire}). With Christophe-Patrice Lemaire merely shaking the reins soon after turning for home, the bay closed with ease and quickened by the long-time leader at the furlong marker. Pushed out mainly with...
Delightful Mary, a sales-topping $500,000 OBSAPR juvenile, looked well worth the asking price with a 3 3/4-length debut score going six furlongs at Woodbine Aug. 8. She was 2-5 to repeat. Sent right to the front, the chestnut was three deep as she vied for the lead early, but jetted to the front midway on...
Atlantic Voyage, a full-sister to the swift Stormello, GISW, $700,100, wound up RNA'ing for $235,000 when offered at KEESEP a year ago. She had a host of sharp morning drills, but they were only good enough to make her the 4-1 second choice to Shadwell's Shaarat (Distorted Humor), a second-time starter that was bet down...
Moonlight Cloud broke through with a 2 1/2-length debut win from Putyball (Silver Deputy) at Deauville's all-weather track last time Aug. 15, and justified odds-on favoritism to take this return in highly impressive fashion. The homebred bay led after the initial strides, but settled second after safely negotiating the first bend in this downhill test....
Picture Editor was an intriguing entry from Henry Cecil here, with the two colts that had followed his exciting <a href="https://bit.ly/2KNga16 " class="horse-link" target="_blank">Frankel</a> (GB) (Galileo {Ire}) home at Newmarket last month Nathaniel (Ire) (Galileo {Ire}) and Genius Beast (Kingmambo) in the line-up with the benefit of that experience. The former was a hot 5-6 favorite to build on...
Uncle Mo, a $160,000 KEENOV weanling and $220,000 KEESEP yearling, had been training smartly and, bolstered by trainer Todd Pletcher's impressive array of juvenile winners at this meet, was bet down to 4-5. The bay colt came away running and quickly assumed command. He had a 1 1/2-length advantage at the quarter pole and readily...
<a href="https://bit.ly/2KNga16 " class="horse-link" target="_blank">Frankel</a> carried a big enough reputation into this race, which saw the debut of Motivator (GB) (Montjeu {Ire}) six years ago, to be sent off the 7-4 favorite. That despite the fact that he faced a raft of notably bred individuals, and there is an unwritten rule that his trainer's runners usually benefit from their...
Despite a lack of lofty entries, Saamidd still went postward at relatively short odds for this debut, and gave an opening performance to light up an otherwise murky afternoon. He was settled in midfield from the outset of this debut. Quickening to the front with 1 1/2 furlongs remaining, the 11-4 chance engaged turbo chargers...
