+BEASLEY (c, 2, Shackleford–In Truth, by Quiet American), backed at 3-1 for a barn whose 2-year-olds have been running particularly well in recent months, broke on top and grabbed a narrow edge through a pressured opening split in :22.52. He left the rail open for Lunaire (Malibu Moon) approaching the lane, and was headed by that foe at the quarter pole after a half in :46.77. Lunaire briefly built up some daylight, but Beasley dug in determinedly to get up by a head and become the 13th winner for his freshman sire (by Forestry). Beasley is a half to Mr Palmer (Pulpit), SW, $523,693; and Conspiracy (Giant's Causeway), SP-PR, $322,145. His dam is a half to the MGSW dam of MGISW Behrens (Pleasant Colony). She produced a Trappe Shot filly earlier this year before being bred back to Shackleford. Sales history: $65,000 Wlg '14 KEENOV; $340,000 Ylg '15 FTSAUG. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $36,000.
