Mythical Border, a $145,000 KEENOV foal, a $150,000 FTKJUL yearling and a $500,000 OBSFEB juvenile, was let go at 5-1 for this opening performance and gave supporters little cause for concern with a noteworthy display which entitles her to point at the G2 Queen Mary S. at Royal Ascot June 18. Swiftly into stride to...
Notonthesamepage, a son of the solid New York-bred racemare Blue Holiday, showed early speed and tired to finish a respectable third behind impressive firster Merkel (Forest Wildcat) in his Apr. 4 Keeneland debut. The chestnut fired two bullets since–a four-furlong move at Keeneland in :46 Apr. 17 and a three-furlong breeze at Churchill in :34...
Sir Michael Stoute was enjoying success in the G1 2000 Guineas at around this time in 2001 with Golan (Ire), and while his full-brother may not be as precocious, Tartan Bearer certainly has a fair share of ability. Catching the eye when staying on into second in a seven-furlong Newmarket maiden on debut in November,...
Dar Re Mi had caught the attention of many notebookers when runner-up over an inadequate seven furlongs in a Newmarket maiden in November, and attracted heavy support before this return at even-money. Sent straight to the lead by Jimmy Fortune, the homebred was always in control and opened up on command inside the final quarter...
Mr Mistoffelees was bought by pinhookers Ricky Leppala, Carl Bowling and Jill Jillian for $300,000 at last year's Keeneland September sale and the trio scored a nifty profit when the flashy dark bay colt made $1.5 million after breezing an eighth of a mile in an effortless :10 1/5 (video) at the Fasig-Tipton Calder sale...
Antiquities faced 15 opponents in this newcomers' event and treated those rivals with disdain as she tore the field apart with a stunning debut performance. Positioned close to the pace in second after the initial exchanges, the 37-10 chance made her bid upon turning for home and surged ever clear from the quarter-mile marker to...
Wifi started as the 10-3 favorite for this newcomers' event, but those odds were made to look generous as the grey made light work of this first trip to the races. Settled close to the early pace out wide, the homebred made smooth progress to lead approaching the quarter pole and asserted his superiority under...
A half-sister to Stonerside's Classic hopeful Raven's Pass (Elusive Quality), GSW & G1SP-GB, $133,781, Gentle Gale posted an eye-catching victory in this turf bow. The dark bay debuted with a third on Santa Anita's Cushion Track Feb. 13, and was bet down to 7-5 favoritism here. While she was extremely reluctant to load–holding up the...
Ready's Echo closed from the clouds to be second, 5 3/4 lengths behind Z Humor, in his Aug. 8 debut at Saratoga. Making his first start since, the dark bay colt raced near the back of the pack after a slow start. He moved closer on the turn, angled out five wide in upper stretch...
Big Brown, who could now be heading towards the GI Blue Grass S., according to owner IEAH's Mike Iavarone, romped home an 11 1/4-length debut winner over the Saratoga lawn for trainer Pat Reynolds last summer, but had not been out since. IEAH bought into the colt after his maiden win. Trying the main track...
Zaftig showed her inexperience when fifth at Aqueduct in her first start Oct. 28, but was ready to roll at second asking. The 5-2 shot was rated just off the pace for a half, went after 6-5 chalk Anachronism (Yonaguska) at the top of the lane and galloped away to beat the favorite by 8...
Harlem Rocker, sent off at 7-2, entered his debut off a bullet five-furlong move in 1:00 at Palm Beach Downs Feb. 8. Left at the gate, the gray colt tarried near the back of the pack, made a four-wide move turning for home and reeled in the pacesetters in the final furlong to win going...
