Great Point, a $355,000 KEENOV weanling and $450,000 KEESEP yearling, was produced by a half sister to multi-millionaire Spain (Thunder Gulch). The Robert LaPenta colorbearer had been training forwardly at Belmont and was sent off at 5-2 for his career opener. After breaking alertly, the chestnut was a half-length back in second through an opening...
Right Place N Time, a $140,000 KEESEP yearling and a $220,000 KEEAPR juvenile, was sent off the 2-1 chalk in his debut. The bay broke on top, shook off a challenge after the opening half and left his rivals in the dust late, winning by an impressive 10 lengths. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $31,225.
Aidan O'Brien's decision to bring Fire and Rain across the Irish Sea for his debut was fully justified as the G1 Epsom Derby entry plundered this maiden in determined fashion. Breaking smartly to occupy a handy fifth early, the 5-1 chance was coaxed upsides Mashaahed (GB) (In The Wings {GB}) at the quarter pole. The...
Southern Success capped a solid worktab with a five-furlong gate breeze in 1:01 3/5 Sept. 21 and was dispatched at generous debut odds of 5-1. Sent up to force the early pace outside of Winzalot (Forest Wildcat, third), the $110,000 FTFFEB two-year-old purchase poked a head in front at the quarter pole and sprinted off...
Cinderella's Dream became the third winner for her freshman sire (by Sultry Song) with this comprehensive victory. The bay filly turned heads at this year's OBSAPR sale, breezing a quarter mile in :21 2/5, and was knocked down for a final bid of $190,000. In her lone previous trip to the races, she finished second,...
Musique Magique raced in behind the early leaders before making her move wide at the top of the straight. Showing impressive acceleration, the 9-2 chance grabbed the lead with 1½ furlongs remaining before stretching three lengths clear of Sharatila (Ire) (King's Best) at the line. The bay filly is the 13th winner for her ill-fated...
Bluegrass Cat suffered through a troubled trip in his June 4 debut at Churchill Downs and was never in the race, finishing eighth. Forgiven for that effort by the Belmont faithful, the 1/2 to Lord Of The Game (Saint Ballado), MGSW, $389,920, was sent off the 7-5 chalk at second asking and did not disappoint....
Scottish Stage did herself no favors with an extremely tardy start in this debut, but exhibited a range of gears to prevail in taking fashion. Racing in rear after that sluggish exit from the gate, the chestnut homebred was forced wide when still in arrears at the top of the short straight. Pushed along for...
Bunood sported her owner's second colors for this debut and was virtually ignored by punters, but defied the uninformed to score in taking style. The bay homebred stalked the leading pair in third from the outset and maintained her position until asked for an effort approaching the final quarter mile. Driven to the fore inside...
Winged Cupid exhibited the bold method of front-running typical of his stable's performers when successful at first asking at Sandown Aug. 11. Sent off the 3-1 crowd's choice in this race won by Shergar (GB), Shahrastani, Rainbow Quest, Unfuwain, King's Theatre (Ire) and Nayef, he steadily rolled his way to the fore throughout the early...
Chenchikova, a full sister to High Chaparral (Ire) (2x Ch. Turf Horse-US, Hwt. 3yo Colt-Eng & Ire at 11-14f, Hwt. Older Horse-Ire at 9.5-11f, MG1SW-Eng, Ire, U.S., MG1SP-Fr, $5,391,888), was held in high enough regard to merit an entry in the Sept. 24 G1 Filles' Mile at Newmarket. The well-bred filly exited this debut contest...
Last July, Echo of Light was earmarked by Sheikh Mohammed as the pick of the progeny of Dubai Millennium, but he was kept out of the Classics after just two placed efforts in Newmarket maidens at the back-end of his juvenile season and on his return May 7. The bay famously ran off the track when clear in a Windsor maiden...
