+HARLAN'S HARMONY (c, 2, Spring At Last–Unbridled Melody, by Unbridled's Song) was let go at over 25-1 in this debut despite a strong grass-leaning pedigree and came away in second early on, stalking frontrunner Helluva Choice (Wildcat Heir). Well-bet Todd Pletcher firster Harlan's Hunch (Harlan's Holiday) then punched through along the fence to duel with the leader, relegating Harlan's Harmony to third. The three of them continued in that position until the furlong pole, when Helluva Choice backed away. Harlan's Harmony stayed on strongly from there to get up in the final 70 yards under Angel Arroyo, scoring by three-quarters of a length and topping an all-'Harlan's' exacta. The winner is a half to Tourist (Tiznow), MSW & MGISP, $670,340, who has placed in four Grade I events over turf, Michael With Us (Bluegrass Cat), SW & GSP, $198,118, who was second in the grassy GIII Kent S., and Mountain Music Man (Bluegrass Cat), SW, $109,825, victor of the Awad S. over the local lawn. His dam is also a half to Abbeyville Miss (Grand Slam), dam of MGSW turfer Mizz Money (Mizzen Mast) and One Mean Man (Mizzen Mast), who captured the GIII American Derby on the Arlington green last weekend. Unbridled Melody's most recent produce is a Speightstown filly foaled this term. Click here for a ThoroStride video of Harlan's Harmony. Sales History: $42,000 Ylg '15 KEESEP; $75,000 2yo '16 OBSAPR.
