HALO AGAIN (c, 2, Speightstown–Halo's Verse, by Unbridled's Song) came from just off the pace to win by 3 1/2 lengths at Churchill Downs Sunday. Sent off at 5-2, the $600,000 KEESEP yearling purchase shadowed the pace from the outside, took over with ease entering the stretch and drew clear to post the professional win. Recklessness (Midshipman) was runner up and Brother Martin (Street Boss) rounded out the trifecta. The winner is a half to Fundamental (Arch), GSP, $460,598; and Inflexibility (Scat Daddy), MSW & MGSP, $539,690. Halo's Verse foaled a colt by Speightstown this season and was bred back to Justify. This is the family of Champion 3-year-old and Older Mare Ashado (Saint Ballado). Sales history: $600,000 Ylg '18 KEESEP. Lifetime Record: 1-1-0-0, $36,232.
