Despite its modest status, this maiden has been used as a stepping stone to Classic glory by recent luminaries Vintage Tipple (Ire) and Alexandrova (Ire). Nell Gwyn, who was seventh on debut in a Curragh conditions event Aug. 13, was the choice of Kieren Fallon over two stable companions and the punters took the hint...
Haatef is from a family Kevin Prendergast knows well, having trained his smart full sisters Ulfah (MSW-Ire, $185,915) and Walayef (GSW-Ire, $116,576). Sent off at 5-1, the homebred was settled in mid-division early before being taken wide to find racing room passing halfway. Quickening down the outer, he rolled by Naigani (Storm Cat) with 150...
Sismix finished sixth at Chantilly on debut July 24, but improved on that to take this second go in dominant fashion. Restrained in fifth off an alert break, she made continued headway from halfway to join the front rank at the top of the straight and the 31-10 chance was pushed clear inside the closing...
<a href="https://www.darleyamerica.com/stallions/our-stallions/street-sense " class="horse-link" target="_blank">Street Sense</a> became the fifth winner for his freshman sire (by Machiavellian) with a handy score. The Tafel homebred, from the family of Mr. Greeley, debuted with an excellent runner-up finish to a hot favorite in Unbridled Express at Churchill Downs July 9 and was the 7-10 chalk to go one better. Racing well in...
Five Star Daydream, a $250,000 FTFFEB two-year-old and a $55,000 KEESEP yearling, was second behind a sharp winner in Magical Ride in her Belmont unveiling July 14 and was 6-5 to go one better this time. In this one, she stumbled at the start, but rushed up to vie for the lead through :22.05 and...
Bet down to 8-11 for his debut, Trinity College was quickly away from the gates and disputed the early lead before easing to the front approaching the quarter pole.

Jump On It attracted a lot of attention as the topselling filly at the Barretts May Sale, bringing $410,000, and she proved even more eyecatching in her career opener. Sent right to front, the 3-5 chalk had daylight on the field throughout and romped home a 5 1/4-length winner. Fillie by the Bay (Elusive Quality)...
Ready For Spring was slowly away, but was not rushed early and gradually entered contention. Asked to quicken exiting the “dip,” the 3-1 second choice responded to grab the lead with 100 yards remaining and assert nicely from the tenderly ridden Leopard King (Kingmambo) to score by 3/4 lengths. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, £4,533.
Cumin was runner-up to subsequent G2 Cherry Hinton S. runner-up Alzerra (UAE) in a Haydock maiden on debut June 9 before finishing sixth from a high draw after a troubled trip in the June 24 Listed Chesham S. at Royal Ascot.

Supposition was Dermot Weld's first runner in the famed Juddmonte silks at The Curragh June 30 and she made an instant impact when failing by a neck to overturn Ballydoyle's highly touted Duke of Marmalade (Ire). Sent to her trainer's favorite festival, she was hammered down to 2-7 for this race, in which Weld had...
Godolphin's colorbearer Rondo took the first maiden of the 2006 Saratoga meeting in impressive fashion. A $450,000 FTKJUL yearling and $2.9-million FTFFEB two-year-old, he made one start for Eoin Harty last year, finishing second by 3/4 of a length to High Cotton in a Belmont maiden Sept. 17. The bay resurfaced June 18 at Belmont...
